Abstract
Analysis of each group of living organisms should start with the morphologic description of various stages of the life cycle. Of particular importance are the main trends of morphological evolution as they serve as a basis for the development of evolutionary concepts of the investigated groups. In this chapter modern data on the morphology and biology of life cycle stages of trematodes are briefly reviewed and the principal trends of the morphologic evolution of this group of parasitic platyhelminthes are traced.
