The phylogenetic affinities of Xenacoelomorpha - the phylum comprising Xenoturbella bocki and acoelomorph worms - are debated. Two recent studies conclude they represent the earliest branching bilaterally symmetrical animals, but additional tests may be needed to confirm this notion.
扁形动物门(包含栉水母和无腔动物门扁虫)的系统发育关系一直存在争议。最近的两项研究得出结论,它们代表了最早分支的两侧对称动物,但可能需要进一步的测试来证实这一观点。
