Digestive System Anatomy and Feeding Mechanism of Quatuoralisia malakhovi (Hemichordata, Torquaratoridae).
Doklady Biological Sciences : Proceedings of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Biological Sciences Sections 2023 December 19
The digestive system was anatomically studied in the deep-sea enteropneust Quatuoralisia mala-khovi. It was shown that lateral collar lips are twisted in such a way that they form a ciliary groove that leads to an internal channel, through which collected detritus particles are transferred to peripheral pharyngeal channels. The size of the selected particles ranges from 1-6 to 100-200 μm, which corresponds to feeding on the remains of planktonic diatoms. A fecal cord was observed to act as an anchor that holds the heavily watered jelly-like body of Torquaratoridae at the sea floor during feeding.
