The taxonomic position of the pelagic 'staurozoan' Tessera gemmaria as a ceriantharian larva
Based on 16 specimens from the Southwestern Atlantic coast (Argentina and Brazil) we reinterpret the taxonomic position of Tessera gemmaria Goy, 1979, a stauromedusa considered as incertae sedis for a long time. Using external morphology histological preparations and molecular data (16S and COI) we...
