Electron microscopy reveals novel external specialized organs housing bacteria in eagle ray tapeworms

Nutritionally-based mutualisms with bacteria are known to occur in a wide array of invertebrate phyla, although less commonly in the Platyhelminthes. Here we report what appears to be a novel example of this type of association in two geographically disparate and phylogenetically distant species of...
