Background Recent phylogenomic analyses congruently reveal a basal clade which consists of Oweniidae and Mageloniidae as sister group to the remaining Annelida. These results indicate that the last common ancestor of Annelida was a tube-dwelling organism.

The Current State of Eunicida (Annelida) Systematics and Biodiversity
In this study, we analyze the current state of knowledge on extant Eunicida systematics, morphology, feeding, life history, habitat, ecology, distribution patterns, local diversity and exploitation. Eunicida is an order of Errantia annelids characterized

Fine structure of the brain in Amphinomida (Annelida)
Amphinomida is arguably one of the most notorious annelid taxa. For the nonspecialists, some are betterknown as “fire worms,” that plague aquaria and cause painful, burning skin irritations with their eponymous stinging chaetae (Borda et al., 2015 ...

A proposed order-level classification in Oligochaeta (Annelida, Clitellata).
The purpose of our contribution is to propose a robust and practical order-level classification of the families of Oligochaeta, that is, non-leech Clitellata. The order level is mandatory in Linnaean rank-based classification and is also required in many

A probable oligochaete from an Early Triassic Lagerstätte of the southern Cis-Urals and its evolutionary implications [PDF]
Oligochaetes, despite their important role in terrestrial ecosystems and a tremendous biomass, are extremely rare fossils. The palaeontological record of these worms is restricted to some cocoons, presumable trace fossils and a few body fossils the most ...
