Effects of temperature on in vitro sediment reworking processes by a gallery biodiffusor, the polychaete Neanthes virens [PDF]
Temperature-induced variations in bioturbation could affect sediment mixing processes in the marine benthic environment. In this study, sediment reworking by Neanthes virens (Sars), a widely distributed polychaete in muddy sand communities of northern ...

Maternal inheritance of twist and analysis of MAPK activation in embryos of the polychaete Annelid Platynereis dumerilii [PDF]
In this study, we aimed to identify molecular mechanisms involved in the specification of the 4d (mesentoblast) lineage in Platynereis dumerilii. We employ RT-PCR and in situ hybridization against the Platynereis dumerilii twist homolog (Pdu-twist) to ...

Biofouling Community Structure in a Tropical Estuary of Goa on the West Coast of India
Biofouling community structure was studied in a tropical monsoon-influenced Mandovi estuary in Goa, west coast of India. Monthly, seasonal and yearly observations on biofouling on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) panels immersed at subsurface water level were ...

Insight into tube-building behaviour and palaeoecology of some agglutinating worms from the Upper Devonian of Nevada, USA [PDF]
Agglutinated worm tubes from the Upper Devonian of the Devils Gate section in Nevada, USA are reported for the first time, filling a major gap in their Palaeozoic fossil record.

Soft-bottom polychaetes from the Brazilian harbors of Mucuripe and Pecém (state of Ceará) and Santos (state of São Paulo) [PDF]
The analysis of polychaete fauna from 20 soft-bottom samples collected in different shallow sectors of Mucuripe, Pecém and Santos harbors provided a list of 34 different taxa, totaling 366 individuals. A comparison with recent published data revealed the

Influence of bioturbation by the polychaete Nereis diversicolor on the structure of bacterial communities in oil contaminated coastal sediments [PDF]
Patterns of change in the structure of bacterial communities monitored by ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (RISA) in oil contaminated sediments inhabited or not by the marine polychaete Nereis diversicolor were studied during 45 days under laboratory

CO2 leakage can cause loss of benthic biodiversity in submarine sands [PDF]
One of the options to mitigate atmospheric CO2 increase is CO2 Capture and Storage in sub-seabed geological formations. Since predicting long-term storage security is difficult, different CO2 leakage scenarios and impacts on marine ecosystems require ...

A Polychaete hunchback Ortholog
We report the first characterization of a segmentation gene homologue in the basal polychaete Capitella capitata using a pan-annelid cross-species antibody to the hunchback-like gene product. In flies, the gap segmentation gene hunchback (hb) encodes a C(2)H(2) zinc-finger transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in patterning the anterior region
