Coinfection of slime feather duster worms (Annelida, Myxicola) by different gregarine apicomplexans (Selenidium) and astome ciliates reflects spatial niche partitioning and host specificity [PDF]
ParasitologyIndividual organisms can host multiple species of parasites (or symbionts), and one species of parasite can infect different host species, creating complex interactions among multiple hosts and parasites. When multiple parasite species coexist in a host,

A new genus and species of feather duster worm (Annelida, Sabellidae) from shallow hydrocarbon seeps in the Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalSabellid species are known to have a broad depth distribution and have been reported from various deep-sea habitats, including chemosynthetic systems. Despite this presence, only two species have been identified from deep water chemosynthetic habitats ...

Mitochondrial genome of the freshwater annelid Manayunkia occidentalis (Sabellida: Fabriciidae). [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2020 Here, we report the 15,103 bp mitochondrial genome of the freshwater fabriciid tubeworm Manayunkia occidentalis. We recovered 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA, and 22 tRNA. The gene order is consistent with the conserved pattern observed in most annelids.

First Insight on the Mucus of the Annelid Myxicola infundibulum (Polychaeta, Sabellidae) as a Potential Prospect for Drug Discovery [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2019 Many marine organisms, including invertebrates, produce mucosal matrices having different functions. Besides mechanical protection, the mucus of many invertebrates contains specific compounds to make the animal poisonous and/or distasteful or irritating.

Macroid Formation in <i>Salmacina stellaebayensis</i> n. sp. From Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile With New Insights on Mitogenome Evolution in Serpulidae (Annelida). [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe describe Salmacina stellaebayensis n. sp. from Mauritania's Baie de l'Étoile and provide the first complete mitochondrial genome for the genus Salmacina. The species forms distinctive macroid colonies in Cymodocea nodosa seagrass meadows, offering new insights into serpulid life history and habitat specialization.

Regeneration of Lumbriculus variegatus requires post-amputation production of reactive oxygen species. [PDF]
Dev Growth DifferIn many animal species, regeneration requires reactive oxygen species (ROS), but it is unknown if ROS are needed for annelid regeneration. We observed rapid accumulation of ROS at the amputation site of the annelid Lumbriculus variegatus. Inhibiting ROS production impaired regeneration, arguing for a phylogenetically ancient involvement of ROS in ...
