Another set of characters is presented that supports the monophyly of Ecdysozoa: molting under influence of ecdysteroid hormones, loss of locomotory cilia, trilayered cuticle and the formation of the epicuticle from the tips of epidermal microvilli.
Comparative morphology suggests Gastrotricha as the sister group of Ecdysozoa with the synapomorphies: triradiate muscular sucking pharynx and terminal mouth opening.
Proposed relationships under the Ecdysozoa hypothesis: Panarthropoda and Cycloneuralia are sister taxa, the closest sister group of Ecdysozoa is Gastrotricha.

 Integrative and Comparative Biology: Two dimensions of biodiversity research exemplified by nematomorpha and ...
Two examples are the life cycle of Nematomorpha and the phylogenetic position of Gastrotricha.
For the phylogenetic position of Gastrotricha, alternative hypotheses are available, mainly due to different results of morphological and molecular (18S rDNA) analyses.
Although both Nematomorpha and Gastrotricha are "lesser known groups," it will be shown that detailed knowledge is important in understanding more general biodiversity patterns and processes.

The Chaetonotus genus is the largest gastrotrich that occurs in freshwater and can be found in plant-choked ditches and mossy ponds.
About 1,800 species of Gastrotrichs belong to classification Gastrotricha, which some regard as a distinct phylum, but which historically has been regarded as a class of the phylum Aschelminthes.
They can be found in salt water and fresh water and also on sandy seashores, but most commonly inhabit stagnant waters and bottom muds rich in decaying matter.

 Introduction to the "Aschelminth" Phyla
Gastrotricha -- gastrotrichs; about 430 species known, all microscopic
Most are soft-bodied worms, and many of them are microscopic -- in fact, practically all members of the Cycliophora, Gastrotricha, Kinorhyncha, Loricifera, and Rotifera are less than 1 millimeter long, as are many nematodes and priapulids.
On the other hand, one species of parasitic nematode can reach 13 meters in length -- it parasitizes the sperm whale -- and adult nematomorphs, chaetognaths, and some priapulids are also visible to the naked eye.

 Aschelminthes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Aschelminthes (sometimes Aeschelminthes), are an obsolete phylum of pseudocoelomate[?] and other similar animals, including as classes the Nematoda, Rotifera, Gastrotricha, Kinorhyncha, and Nematomorpha, and sometimes the Priapulida and Entoprocta.
Many of these groups are no longer considered closely related and have been promoted to phyla in their own right, and the name is now generally only used as an informal term.
These poor fellows do not understand all your subtleties.

Other worm phyla have cuticle (Gastrotricha, Nematoda, Nematomorpha, Kinorhyncha, Priapulida, etc.), multiciliated epidermal cells (all worm phyla but the Gnathostomulida), solid (acoelomate) bodies (Gastrotricha and miscellaneous representatives of Nematoda, Annelida, etc.), and fiber-form muscle cells.

 GENERAL PROBLEMS OF NEMATOLOGY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Cladistic analyses of morphological characters suggest the Nematoda to be a sister group of the Gastrotricha.
On the contrary, recent analyses of the 18S rRNA gene sequences place the Nematoda in a hypothetical clade of molting animals "Ecdysozoa", or cluster them with Chaetognatha, while the Gastrotricha, represented by the specialized order Chaetonotida, are placed outside these groups.
Depending on taxon sampling, the Nematoda and Gastrotricha moved from basal to apical position in the 18S rRNA trees, but only occasionally appeared as sister groups.

 ZO 402 Guide to Scientific Names
Scientific names are said to be "anglicized" when the endings are changed to English format.
For example, the phylum name Gastrotricha becomes "gastrotrich" when anglicized, Gyraulidae becomes "gyraulid," and Coleoptera becomes "coleopteran."
Anglicized names are treated the same as common names (see below).

A cladistic analysis based on 33 morphological characters was performed for the 31 genera currently assigned to the order Macrodasyida (Gastrotricha).
Outgroup analysis indicated that the order is monophyletic and that it is defined by the structure of the pharynx and the complex distribution of duo-gland adhesive organs.
