Macrostomum lignano[1] is a free-living, hermaphroditic flatworm. It is transparent and of small size (adults reaching about 1.7 mm), and is part of the intertidal sand meiofauna of the Adriatic Sea.[1] Originally a model organism for research on developmental biology[2] and the evolution of the bilaterian body plan,[3] it has since expanded to other important fields of research such as sexual selection and sexual conflicts,[4] ageing[5] and the evolution of the bilaterian body plan,[6] ecotoxicology,[7] and, more recently, genomics.[8]
