Abstract

Bauplan (construction plan) is a key notion of developmental biology and evolutionary morphology, applied for the establishment of new taxonomic phyla and for the construction of the high-level classification. It is the bauplan, or morphological type, that had been assumed by Cuvier (1817) as a basis for the division of animals into four large groups (vertebrates, mollusks, articulates, and radiates). Bauplan is understood as the type of the organism’s construction formed within a certain group and characterized by an original architectonics.
