Helgoland Marine Research, 2016 Polychaetes are important components of trophic webs in sandy beaches, mainly due to their abundance and diversity of feeding modes, acting as detritivores or primary/secondary consumers.

Assessment of the ecological characteristics of the Belgian beaches prior to the implementation of the Belgian Master Plan for Coastal Safety [PDF]
, 2013 Sandy shores or beaches line 70 % of the world’s oceans, including the entire Belgian coastline (67 km). They have a multitude of ecosystem functions, constitute an important habitat for a variety of fauna and flora and hold important economic, social ...

New records of Scolelepis (Polychaeta : Spionidae) from the sandy beaches of Madagascar, with the description of a new species [PDF]
, 2000 Three species of the genus Scolelepis (Polychaeta, Spionidae) are reported from intertidal beaches in Madagascar. A new species, Scolelepis (Scolelepis) vazaha n.sp., is described from Cap Eat (type locality) and Fort Dauphin.

Intertidal zonation of macroinfauna on a dissipative, sandy beach at De Panne (Belgium): a pilot study [PDF]
, 1997 To elucidate vertical (= from high to low water mark) macroinfaunal community patterns on little-studied Belgian dissipative sandy beaches, macroinfauna was sampled at eight stations along a seaward transect at De Panne.
