Morphological and molecular study of Syllinae (Annelida, Syllidae) from Bermuda, with the description of five new species [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Although polychaetes from the Bermuda Archipelago have been studied since the beginning of the twentieth century, syllids have been particularly neglected in this area, which is surprising considering this family is usually a dominant group in marine ...

New insights into the Syllis prolifera species complex from the eastern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
ZooKeysReports of cases of cryptic and pseudocryptic speciation have increased in the last decade among marine invertebrates thanks to the use of integrative taxonomy that combines all available data sources to correctly establish species boundaries, now ...

Morphological, histological and gene-expression analyses on stolonization in the Japanese Green Syllid, Megasyllis nipponica (Annelida, Syllidae) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Benthic annelids belonging to the family Syllidae (Annelida, Errantia, Phyllodocida) exhibit a unique reproduction mode called “schizogamy” or “stolonization”, in which the posterior body part filled with gametes detaches from the original body, as a ...

A new genus and species of nudibranch-mimicking Syllidae (Annelida, Polychaeta) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsNudibranch mollusks, which are well-known for their vivid warning coloration and effective defenses, are mimicked by diverse invertebrates to deter predation through both Müllerian and Batesian strategies. Despite extensive documentation across different

Within-family plasticity of nervous system architecture in Syllidae (Annelida, Errantia) [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2020 Background The ground pattern underlying the nervous system of the last common ancestor in annelids was long thought to be settled, consisting of a dorsal brain, circumoesophageal connectives and a subepithelial, ladder-like ventral nerve cord with ...

Cellular proliferation dynamics during regeneration in Syllis malaquini (Syllidae, Annelida) [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2021 Background In syllids (Annelida, Syllidae), the regenerative blastema was subject of many studies in the mid and late XXth century. This work on syllid regeneration showed that the blastema is developed by a process of dedifferentiation of cells near the

Comparative transcriptomics in Syllidae (Annelida) indicates that posterior regeneration and regular growth are comparable, while anterior regeneration is a distinct process [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Annelids exhibit remarkable postembryonic developmental abilities. Most annelids grow during their whole life by adding segments through the action of a segment addition zone (SAZ) located in front of the pygidium.
