One such adaptation is seen in the nemertean genus <jats:italic>Malacobdella<\/jats:italic>. All species in the genus are commensals of molluscan hosts, attaching to the surface of host mantles with a terminal sucker. <jats:italic>Malacobdella<\/jats:italic> possesses several unique characteristics within the order Monostilifera, exhibiting the terminal sucker and the absence of eyes and apical\/cerebral organs, which are related to their adaptation to a commensal lifestyle. Nevertheless, the developmental processes that give rise to these morphological characteristics during their transition from free-living larvae to commensal adults remain uncertain.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In the present study, therefore, we visualized the developmental processes of the internal morphologies during postembryonic larval stages using fluorescent molecular markers. We demonstrated the developmental processes, including the formation of the sucker primordium and the functional sucker. Furthermore, our data revealed that sensory organs, including apical\/cerebral organs, formed in embryonic and early postembryonic stages but degenerated in the late postembryonic stage prior to settlement within their host using a terminal sucker.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study reveals the formation of the terminal sucker through tissue invagination, shedding light on its adhesion mechanism. Sucker muscle development likely originates from body wall muscles. Notably, <jats:italic>M. japonica<\/jats:italic> exhibits negative phototaxis despite lacking larval ocelli. This observation suggests a potential role for other sensory mechanisms, such as the apical and cerebral organs identified in the larvae, in facilitating settlement and adhesive behaviors. The loss of sensory organs during larval development might reflect a transition from planktonic feeding to a stable, host-associated lifestyle. This study also emphasizes the need for further studies to explore the phylogenetic relationships within the infraorder Amphiporiina and investigate the postembryonic development of neuromuscular systems in closely related taxa to gain a more comprehensive understanding of ecological adaptations in Nemertea.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12983-024-00533-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,6]],"date-time":"2024-05-06T07:02:49Z","timestamp":1714978969000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Postembryonic development and lifestyle shift in the commensal ribbon worm"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3498-8614","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natsumi","family":"Hookabe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rei","family":"Ueshima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toru","family":"Miura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"533_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1201","DOI":"10.2307\/1936160","volume":"56","author":"J Roughgarden","year":"1975","unstructured":"Roughgarden J.
