Influence of the predatory polychaete Nephtys hombergii on the abundance of other polychaetes [PDF]
Negative relations between abundance of the predatory polychaete Nephtys hombergii and values for biornass and rate of increase in 2 of its prey species, the polychaetes Scoloplos armiger and Heteromastusfiliformis, are evident in long-term (18 yr) data from tidal flats in the westernmost part of the Wadden Sea.

We describe a long-unnamed Chaetopterus Cuvier, 1830 species from southern California, using a combination of DNA barcoding and detailed morphological investigation employing high-resolution X-ray microtomography (micro-CT). Chaetopterus dewysee sp. nov.

In the different mesophotic bioconstructions recently found along the Southeastern Italian coast, polychaetes have been proved to show high species richness and diversity, hitherto never investigated.

Spirorbinae, a ubiquitous group of marine calcareous tubeworms with a small body size as adults, have a fascinating diversity of brooding modes that form the basis for their taxonomic division into six tribes (traditionally subfamilies): in-tube ...

Our study aimed to evaluate the effect of trace element pollution in the polychaete Perinereis cultrifera (Grube, 1840) from two Tunisian coasts (the port of Rades, S1; and the Punic port of Carthage, S2).

Macrofaunal contributions to benthic nutrient fluxes revealed by radium disequilibrium
Abstract The benthic flux of nutrients underpins marine food webs, influences conditions for life in the oceans, and contributes to climatic feedback. Estimates of these fluxes' contributions to macro‐ and micronutrient cycles are, however, highly variable, generating significant uncertainty in biogeochemical models.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the polychaete, Marphysa tamurai (Eunicida, Eunicidae)
The study determined the first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the polychaete, Marphysa tamurai. A total of 21,346 reads were generated by Illumina HiSeq2500 platform with an average depth of 175.97×. The mitogenome of M. tamurai was 15,163

Genetic features of the marine polychaete Sirsoe methanicola from metagenomic data
The methane ice worm Sirsoe methanicola is the only marine polychaete species observed to colonize the methane hydrates of the Gulf of Mexico. Methane hydrates are ephemeral features of deep-sea cold seeps, and finding worm-colonized hydrates is rare ...
