(Un)expected Similarity of the Temporary Adhesive Systems of Marine, Brackish, and Freshwater Flatworms

Many free-living flatworms have evolved a temporary adhesion system, which allows them to quickly attach to and release from diverse substrates. In the marine <i>Macrostomum lignano</i>, the morphology of the adhesive system and the adhesion-related proteins have been characterised. Howe...
