Talk:Loricifera

Bisexual or Asexual?
Hrm.... the article says they are bisexual. Somehow I doubt that. Perhaps asexual (reproducing without sex) or hermaphroditic (individuals have both "male" and "female" sexual organs). - UtherSRG 00:03, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * I think it just means that there are two sexes. Gdr 14:30, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Size of the animals?
This article gives no indication of the general size of these animals. Are they microscopic? I imagine different genera are different sizes, but there could be some indication of their general size range. — Epastore 16:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Anaerobes
I tidied this up a bit, mostly for grammar and to remove redundancy, but I'm working from the cited Nature News article; I hadn't heard of this phylum before an hour ago. Any expertise would be welcome. Vicki Rosenzweig (talk) 02:21, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Anoxic multicellulars
So... are there any other anoxic-environment multicellular organisms ?

It would make good additions to a see also, or creating articles for them. 65.94.253.16 (talk) 09:31, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Can these live in an oxygenated environment? 65.94.253.16 (talk) 09:32, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Biology Class
I'm doing a project where I must write a Two paged essay about Loricifera and make a poster. I have read this article about seven times now and I can't get any information about them. It talks mostly about the general species. Can anyone help? (User talk:14labucknam)
 * Loricifera is not a species, it is a phylum. Phyla of animals have common physiological features. This article describes those features, the relationship between this phylum and other phyla, fossil record, and the unusual fact that some of these animals live in an environment without oxygen. Is this helpful to you? --Danger (talk) 23:58, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * This does help some thank you.
