Sabellaria alveolata versus Sabellaria spinulosa Reefs along the Italian Coasts: A New Methodological Proposal to Compare Different Growth Models [PDF]
Sabellaria species are among the most important frame-builders in temperate, shallow marine areas. These polychaetes are suspension feeders able to build bioconstructions using sand and shell fragments cemented with a sticky mucous.

Effect of filtration action of the polychaete Sabellaria alveolata Linnaeus, 1767 on sole cultive environment Solea senegalensis Kaup, 1858 [PDF]
Farmers look for sustainable measures to control diseases in aquaculture. Vibrio harveyi has been described as a fish pathogen, affecting several species, such as Solea senegalensis (senegalensis sole). In this study, the application of a biofilter with

The sedimentary dynamics of Sabellaria alveolata bioconstructions (Ostia, Tyrrhenian Sea, central Italy) [PDF]
Sabellaria alveolata (Linnaeus 1767) is a polychaete able to build bioconstructions of different thickness, size and patchiness, in intertidal and subtidal environments. Its biological features have been the object of numerous studies worldwide. The worm

Archigregarines of the English Channel revisited: New molecular data on Selenidium species including early described and new species and the uncertainties of phylogenetic relationships. [PDF]
Gregarines represent an important transition step from free-living predatory (colpodellids s.l.) and/or photosynthetic (Chromera and Vitrella) apicomplexan lineages to the most important pathogens, obligate intracellular parasites of humans and domestic ...

Improving Intertidal Reef Mapping Using UAV Surface, Red Edge, and Near-Infrared Data
Coastal living reefs provide considerable services from tropical to temperate systems. Threatened by global ocean-climate and local anthropogenic changes, reefs require spatially explicit management at the submeter scale, where socioecological processes ...

Macrofauna associated with temporary Sabellaria alveolata reefs on the west coast of Cotentin (France). [PDF]
The polychaete Sabellaria alveolata (Linnaeus, 1767) is an important ecosystem engineer building reef structures which add to the topographic complexity in colonized areas. In Europe, the most extensive reef formation is located in the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel (France).

Structure, function and cell dynamics during chaetogenesis of abdominal uncini in Sabellaria alveolata (Sabellariidae, Annelida). [PDF]
Dynamic apical microvilli of a single cell, called the chaetoblast, inside an ectodermal invagination form the template of annelid chaetae. Changes in the pattern of microvilli are frozen in time by release of chitin, such that the structure of the definitive chaeta reflects its formation.

Abstract Myzostomida are putatively nested within the errant Annelida and exhibit a unique morphology. The latter fact might possibly be related to their long host‐dependent radiation. Hence, an incomplete segmentation, lack of prominent sensory structures in adults and a dorso‐ventrally flattened body are just some examples.

It is generally believed that local populations of marine benthic macro‐invertebrates with planktonic larvae are in source–sink relationships via larval dispersal in a given regional population. Numerical simulations abound for connectivity through larvae among local/regional populations, but few empirical studies have taken local population dynamics ...

Hairy and iridescent chaetae of the sea mouse Aphrodita (Annelida, Errantia)
Abstract The bright iridescent chaetae of Aphrodita species have fascinated scientists for decades. The particular nanoscale substructure of these chitinous bristles resembles photonic crystals and manipulates the incident light in a way that results in spectacular structural coloration.
