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.

Three new species of the genus Perinereis (Annelida, Nereididae) from Egyptian coasts [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 Despite being one of the most common groups of polychaetes on intertidal shores, the genus Perinereis (Nereididae) is comparatively poorly known taxonomically, with confusion still existing due to the lack of comprehensive systematic studies.

Gametogenesis of Nypha Palm Worm Namalycastis rhodochorde (Polychaeta: Nereididae)
Jurnal Ilmu Dasar, 2010 The Nypha Palm Worm Namalycastis rhodochorde has been used as bait for fishing in Pontianak. Culturing the worm is one potential effort for its commercialization as well as to overcome the overexploitation of the worm which also brings about the ...

Abundance, biomass and species richness of macrozoobenthos along an intertidal elevation gradient. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 This study investigates the spatio‐temporal dynamics of macrozoobenthos communities on back‐barrier tidal flats in the East Frisian Wadden Sea. They found significant changes in species composition and a decrease in abundance and species richness from west to east on the East Frisian Islands, while extremely high total organic carbon content was ...

Geographic Variation in Diet and Genetic Connectivity of Populations of the Widespread Predatory Cone Snail <i>Conus miliaris</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe examined patterns of dietary and genetic variation of a broadly distributed, Indo‐West Pacific cone snail at four sites in French Polynesia and compared them to populations at Guam, American Samoa, and Rapa Nui. Our results indicate that populations at French Polynesia possess broad and overlapping diets that are most similar to those of Rapa Nui ...

Unravelling Hidden Trophic Interactions Among Sea Urchin Juveniles and Macroinvertebrates by DNA Amplification. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Rocky reefs may shift between two distinct stable states: productive algal forests, characterised by high abundance and biodiversity of macrofauna, and impoverished barrens, dominated by overgrazing sea urchins. Barren states may persist despite the recovery of adult sea urchin predators, suggesting additional stabilising mechanisms.
