Adaptive Radiation and Evolution Within the Myxozoa
Original language description
Myxozoans are endoparasites characterized by extensive morphological simplification and complex life cycles. Their definitive hosts are bryozoans?in the case of the more primitive and species-poor Malacosporea, or annelids?in the case of the more derivedand speciose Myxosporea. This chapter reviews patterns of adaptive radiation within the Myxozoa and explores the drivers that may have promoted evolutionary change. Topics covered include: multiple transitions between worm-like and sac-like forms in theMalacosporea; undersampling that likely limits our appreciation of malacosporean diversity; and multiple shifts between marine and freshwater environments in the Myxosporea. We also examine morphological simplification that is observed in stages that produce spores and associated changes in the size of these sporogonic stages. This contrasts with the evolution of morphological complexity in spores. Features proposed to be involved in diversification include the acquisition of hardened s
