A remarkable new deep-sea nereidid (Annelida: Nereididae) with gills [PDF]
PLoS ONENereidid polychaetes are well known from shallow marine habitats, but their diversity in the deep sea is poorly known. Here we describe an unusual new nereidid species found at methane seeps off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Specimens of Pectinereis strickrotti gen. nov., sp. nov.

The Nereididae (Annelida) – diagnoses, descriptions, and a key to the genera [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 Nereididae is among the most familiar of marine annelid families, common and well-studied in most marine environments but paradoxically no recent key or identification guide exists to the world’s genera.

Molecular diversity within the genus Laeonereis (Annelida, Nereididae) along the west Atlantic coast: paving the way for integrative taxonomy [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The polychaete genus Laeonereis (Annelida, Nereididae) occurs over a broad geographic range and extends nearly across the entire Atlantic coast of America, from the USA to Uruguay.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the ragworm annelid Hediste diversicolor (of Müller, 1776) (Annelida: Nereididae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 Marine annelids are a globally distributed and species-rich group, performing important ecological roles in macrobenthic communities. Yet, the availability of molecular resources to study these organisms is scarcer, comparatively with other phyla.

The genome sequence of the King Ragworm, Alitta virens (Sars, 1835) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open Research, 2023 We present a genome assembly from an individual Alitta virens (the King Ragworm; Annelida; Polychaeta; Phyllodocida; Nereididae). The genome sequence is 671.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

Determination of complete mitogenome sequence for Eastern Asian population of Cheilonereis cyclurus (Harrington, 1897) (Polychaeta: Nereididae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 Complete mitogenome sequence for eastern Asian population of Cheilonereis cyclurus (Polychaeta: Nereididae) was determined for the first time. The length of circular genome of C. cyclurus is 14,917 bp including 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22

Expression of Distal-less, dachshund, and optomotor blind in Neanthes arenaceodentata (Annelida, Nereididae) does not support homology of appendage-forming mechanisms across the Bilateria [PDF]
, 2010 The similarity in the genetic regulation of arthropod and vertebrate appendage formation has been interpreted as the product of a plesiomorphic gene network that was primitively involved in bilaterian appendage development and co-opted to build ...

Role of Seagrass as a Food Source for Benthos in Tidal Flats: Toward Conservation and Restoration of Resilient Ecosystems [PDF]
AnimalsSeagrass is a key primary producer in coastal ecosystems; however, most studies on seagrass-benthos interactions have focused on subtidal zones. Some species such as Zostera japonica grow in intertidal flats; however, their ecological functions remain ...

The first complete mitochondrial genome of the genus Dendronereis, represented by D. chipolini Hsueh, 2019 (Annelida, Nereididae) from Beibu Gulf, China [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 The genus Dendronereis Peters, 1854 is characterized in the polychaete family Nereididae by its feather-shaped branchiae on the anterior segments. In this study, we present the first complete mitogenome of Dendronereis, represented by D. chipolini Hsueh,
