#REDIRECT [[Lophophorata]] |
|||
The '''lophophorates''' are [[animal]]s united by a presence of a [[lophophore]], a fan of cilia surrounding the mouth. There are four phyla of lophophorates, sometimes grouped into a single phylum or superphylum Lophophorata: |
|||
* [[Brachiopoda]] |
|||
* [[Phoronida]] |
|||
* [[Ectoprocta]] |
|||
* [[Entoprocta]] |
|||
The relationships of the lophophorate phyla has been largely uncertain, even whether they were [[protostome]]s or [[deuterstome]]s. Based on genetic studies, they are now usually considered to belong among the [[Lophotrochozoa]], together with phyla such as the [[mollusc]]s and [[annelid]]s. Within that group, the lophophorates are likely [[paraphyletic]]. |
