Hyperspectral and Lidar: Complementary Tools to Identify Benthic Features and Assess the Ecological Status of Sabellaria alveolata Reefs

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Sabellaria alveolata is a sedentary gregarious tube-building species widely distributed from southwest Scotland to Morocco. This species builds what are currently considered the largest European biogenic reefs in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel (France). As

Connectivity modelling informs metapopulation structure and conservation priorities for a reef‐building species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 10, Page 2056-2070, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim In coastal marine systems, biogenic reef‐building species have great importance for conservation as they provide habitat for a wide range of species, promoting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and services. Biogenic reef persistence and recovery from perturbations depend on recolonization by new recruits. Characterizing larval dispersal

Topographic Analysis of Intertidal Polychaete Reefs (Sabellaria alveolata) at a Very High Spatial Resolution

Remote Sensing, 2022
In temperate coastal regions of Western Europe, the polychaete Sabellaria alveolata (Linné) builds large intertidal reefs of several hectares on soft-bottom substrates.

Feeding mechanism of the polychaete Sabellaria alveolata revisited: comment on Dubois et al. (2005) [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2006
ABSTRACT: Recently, Dubois et al. (2005; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 301:159–171) described the feedingmechanisms of the sabellariid polychaete Sabellaria alveolata and concluded that it is a ciliarysuspension feeder that uses alternately a downstream- and an upstream-collecting system. We re-investigated both the ciliated epithelia (scanning electron microscopy

Notopodial “spinning glands” of Sthenelanella (Annelida: Sigalionidae) are modified chaetal sacs

Invertebrate Biology, Volume 140, Issue 3, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Sthenelanella is an unusual genus of tube‐dwelling scale worms, with fine fibrous threads that appear on either side of the body. These fibers emerge dorsally in long silvery bundles that are then tightly interwoven to construct the felt‐like material of the tube.

Omics‐based molecular analyses of adhesion by aquatic invertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 3, Page 1051-1075, June 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Many aquatic invertebrates are associated with surfaces, using adhesives to attach to the substratum for locomotion, prey capture, reproduction, building or defence. Their intriguing and sophisticated biological glues have been the focus of study for decades.

Specific niche requirements underpin multidecadal range edge stability, but may introduce barriers for climate change adaptation

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 668-683, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim To investigate some of the environmental variables underpinning the past and present distribution of an ecosystem engineer near its poleward range edge. Location >500 locations spanning >7,400 km around Ireland. Methods We collated past and present distribution records on a known climate change indicator, the reef‐forming worm Sabellaria ...

Musical Chairs on Temperate Reefs: Species Turnover and Replacement Within Functional Groups Explain Regional Diversity Variation in Assemblages Associated With Honeycomb Worms

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Reef-building species are recognized as having an important ecological role and as generally enhancing the diversity of benthic organisms in marine habitats.

Particle capture and processing mechanisms in Sabellaria alveolata (Polychaeta: Sabellariidae) [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2005
Sabellaria alveolata, a ciliary suspension feeder, is a reef-building polychaete widely distributed in European waters, and is an important element of the trophic web of the ecosystems they have colonised. The lack of data concerning the feeding mechanisms of polychaete sabellariids is an impediment to understanding their roles in these systems.
