Saccoglossus kowalevskii The acorn worm Saccoglossus kowalevskii is a hemichordate used for evolutionary studies Lineage: Eukaryota[15557]; Metazoa[7782]; Hemichordata[2]; Enteropneusta[2]; Harrimaniidae[1]; Saccoglossus[1]; Saccoglossus kowalevskii[1]

The acorn worm Saccoglossus kowalevskii is a worm-like animal found in mudflats of intertidal zones on the coasts of the eastern United States and Europe. As a member of the phylum Hemichordata, the acorn worm is useful in evolutionary studies that compare hemichordates and chordates since adults in both groups exhibit bilateral symmetry, in More...contrast with members of the sister phylum Echinodermata that have radial symmetry.
