  • 20:4220:42, 10 May 2021 diff hist +42 ParaHoxozoa→‎Characteristics: clarified last sentence of characteristics
  • 19:0319:03, 10 May 2021 diff hist +3 m ParaHoxozoa→‎ParaHoxozoa or Parahoxozoa
  • 18:3818:38, 10 May 2021 diff hist +304 ParaHoxozoaMade Parahoxozoa bold in tree. Used Parahoxozoa throughout (instead of ParaHoxozoa). Added a section describing rationale for using "Parahoxozoa" over "ParaHoxozoa"
  • 18:1118:11, 10 May 2021 diff hist −381 ParaHoxozoaThe tree was moved up a section to be near the discussion of relationships. The tree was changed to reflect the uncertainty in the more than 20 cited studies. The age of nodes was removed since there was not a citation associated with the ages. The ages are not critical. A sentence was added to put the tree in context and also to provide citations to where the tree came from.
  • 13:4913:49, 10 May 2021 diff hist −154 ParaHoxozoaRemoved this statement as it was not supported by a reference.
  • 13:4813:48, 10 May 2021 diff hist +11,256 ParaHoxozoaThe previous version intertwined the phylogenetic position of ParaHoxozoa with its definition. It also made strong claims as to the phylogenetic position of ParaHoxozoa relative to Ctenophora and Porifera. This edit separates the definition of the clade from the phylogeny, then shows that there is an ongoing controversy as to its position and provides an exhaustive (if not, nearly exaustive) list of references supporting each view.

  • 14:5814:58, 24 September 2019 diff hist +190 ParazoaAccording to the definition of Parazoa above (Porifera + Placozoa), it is an invalid name, so discussion of synapomorphies does not make sense. I suggest this section is deleted. Either way this section is not clear.
  • 14:5214:52, 24 September 2019 diff hist −330 ParazoaThese citation-lacking sentences are more an expression of dissatisfaction with the lack of support for a traditional Parazoa than a useful fact that belongs in this entry.
  • 14:5014:50, 24 September 2019 diff hist −205 ParazoaThe deleted sentence is not consistent with the formal rules associated with scientific naming of organisms where precedent is given to the first name applied to a clade regardless of subsequent findings associated with the reasoning applied to a name (consider bilateral symmetry in non-bilaterians (anemones) or deutereostomic development in protostomes). Furthermore, the paper describing a ParaHox gene has been challenged by Pastrana et al. (Sponges lack ParaHox genes. doi:10.1093/gbe/evz052)
