Neanthes Kinberg, 1865 is a speciose nereidid genus with some species exhibiting epitoky during the timing of reproduction. The epitokal morphology of males and females has long been agreed to be diagnostic to distinguish species.

First record of growth patterns in a Cambrian annelid
Early annelid evolution is mostly known from 13 described species from Cambrian Burgess Shale-type Lagerstätten. We introduce a new exceptionally well-preserved polychaete, Ursactis comosa gen. et sp. nov., from the Burgess Shale (Wuliuan Stage).

Abstract Conservation genomic studies in non‐model organisms generally rely on reduced representation sequencing techniques based on restriction enzymes to identify population structure as well as candidate loci for local adaptation. While the expectation is that the reduced representation of the genome is randomly distributed, the proportion of the ...

Integrative biology of injury in animals
ABSTRACT Mechanical injury is a prevalent challenge in the lives of animals with myriad potential consequences for organisms, including reduced fitness and death. Research on animal injury has focused on many aspects, including the frequency and severity of wounding in wild populations, the short‐ and long‐term consequences of injury at different ...

Exotic asphyxiation: interactions between invasive species and hypoxia
ABSTRACT Non‐indigenous species (NIS) and hypoxia (<2 mg O2 l−1) can disturb and restructure aquatic communities. Both are heavily influenced by human activities and are intensifying with global change. As these disturbances increase, understanding how they interact to affect native species and systems is essential.

Polychaete assisted sand filters (PASFs) allow to combine a highly efficient retention of particulate organic matter (POM) present in aquaculture effluent water and turn otherwise wasted nutrients into valuable worm biomass, following an integrated multi-

Abstract Saltmarsh provides essential fish feeding and nursery habitat but has globally declined by 50%. We used a statistical block design to compare fish feeding activity within human‐engineered or “re‐aligned” saltmarsh to established saltmarsh.
