This paper is part of a series investigating the muscular architecture of various “Polychaeta”, aiming to ascertain the presence of circular muscles in the body wall, which have recently been thought to be lacking more often than hitherto known.

Mitochondrial genome of the freshwater annelid Manayunkia occidentalis (Sabellida: Fabriciidae)
Here, we report the 15,103 bp mitochondrial genome of the freshwater fabriciid tubeworm Manayunkia occidentalis. We recovered 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA, and 22 tRNA. The gene order is consistent with the conserved pattern observed in most annelids.

Digging the diversity of Iberian bait worms Marphysa (Annelida, Eunicidae)
During a visit to polychaete–rearing facilities in the vicinity of Bay of Cádiz (SW Iberian Peninsula, Atlantic Ocean), we sampled two populations of Marphysa (Annelida, Eunicidae) originally occurring at nearby intertidal soft bottoms, one being more ...

A new thalassematid echiuran worm from the Middle Ordovician Castle Bank Biota of Wales, UK [PDF]
chiurans (spoonworms) are a very distinctive group of polychaete annelids that had long been considered to constitute a separate phylum. Their fossil record is extremely limited, although trace fossils that have been suggested to be attributable to ...

Re-description of Dysponetus joeli Olivier et al., 2012 (Polychaeta, Chrysopetalidae), with a new key to species of the genus [PDF]
Dysponetus is a genus of the family Chrysopetalidae with twelve currently described species. Specimens are fragile and easily damaged or broken during sampling making identification difficult. The most recently described species, Dysponetus joeli Olivier
