Anaerobiosis, meiofauna and early metazoan evolution
Abstract
Abstract Boaden, P. J. S. (Queen“s University Marine Biology Station, Portaferry BT22 IPF, Northern Ireland.) Anaerobiosis, meiofauna and early metazoan evolution. Zool. Scr. 4 (1): 21–24, 1975.–Anaerobic marine sands have a fairly diverse fauna and flora consisting mainly of prokaryotes, protists, gnathostomulids, turbellarians, nematodes and gastrotrichs. An increasing body of evidence shows that the Metazoa from this environment are primitive in many respects. This paper suggests that much early evolution occurred in this habitat. Possible supporting evidence for this theory is discussed. It is concluded that the early Metazoa were benthic anaerobes and well established by the Middle Precambrian Era and that, in addition to the Prokaryota and Protista, the Gnathosto‐mulida, Platyhelminthes and Aschelminthes originally evolved under anaerobic conditions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
