title = "Early development of the aplacophoran mollusc Chaetoderma",
abstract = "The early development of the trochophore larva of the aplacophoran Chaetoderma nitidulum (Mollusca: Caudofoveata = Chaetodermomorpha) is described using scanning and transmission electron microscopy and using fluorescence staining and confocal laser scanning microscopy of the muscle system. The most important features include the presence of a prototroch and a telotroch, serially arranged glandular cells (spiculoblasts) at the dorsal mantle, the occurrence of a ventral suture as a possible remnant of a former foot sole, and the presence of a pair of protonephridia. The development of the early anlagen of the circular body wall muscles does not show the anterior-posterior mode of formation that is typical for annelids, thus strengthening the hypothesis of a non-segmented ancestry of Mollusca.",
