Palps across the tree – the neuronal innervation and development of sensory head appendages in Annelida [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Polychaetes inhabit a wide variety of habitats and show a great morphological diversity. In this context, a key morphological structure for adapting to their individual lifestyles and ecological niches are the prominent head appendages. In the last years

The complete mitochondrial genome of Boccardiella hamata (Annelida: Polychaeta: Spionida) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of Korean Boccardiella hamata was determined. This is the first complete mitogenome in the order Spionida. The complete mitogenome of B. hamata is 17,561 bp in length with 12 protein-coding genes (atp8 gene

Rhynchospio aciliata sp. nov., a new spionid species (Annelida, Spionidae) from the Korea Strait [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 A new spionid polychaete, Rhynchospio aciliata sp. nov., was discovered in the fine sandy sediments of an intertidal habitat from Korean waters. The new species is considered a simultaneous hermaphrodite, but no brooding embryos were found in any of the ...

Mitochondrial genomes of two Polydora (Spionidae) species provide further evidence that mitochondrial architecture in the Sedentaria (Annelida) is not conserved [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Contrary to the early evidence, which indicated that the mitochondrial architecture in one of the two major annelida clades, Sedentaria, is relatively conserved, a handful of relatively recent studies found evidence that some species exhibit elevated ...
