A comprehensive investigation into the axial complex of sea urchins has shown that within that group of marine invertebrates there exists a structural evolutionary interdependence of various internal organs. The research demonstrates that the approach of combining all structural data available on a given organ in combination with a broad taxonomic coverage can yield novel insights into the evolution of internal organ systems.
