title: [Ontogeny, systematics, and phylogenetics: space of future synthesis and a new model of the evolution of bilateria].
abstract: Ontogeny is considered as a process that allows combining two key components of biological systematics in an objective way: historically independent indicative attribution and phylogeny. It is proposed to designate the general theory that unifies the "statistical" traditional taxonomy and the dynamic evolutionary process on the basis ofontogenetic transformation of shapes of organisms as the ontogenetic systematics. One of the important practical applications is a new model of the evolution of bilaterally symmetric animals, which supposes an ancestral status of clonal asexual reproduction and its multiple reduction in a variety of Bilateria lines.
