A new genus and species of nudibranch-mimicking Syllidae (Annelida, Polychaeta) [PDF]
Nudibranch 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

Morphological and molecular study of Syllinae (Annelida, Syllidae) from Bermuda, with the description of five new species [PDF]
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]
Reports 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 ...

Within-family plasticity of nervous system architecture in Syllidae (Annelida, Errantia) [PDF]
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 ...

Morphological, histological and gene-expression analyses on stolonization in the Japanese Green Syllid, Megasyllis nipponica (Annelida, Syllidae) [PDF]
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 ...

Sex-specific differential gene expression during stolonization in the branching syllid Ramisyllis kingghidorahi (Annelida, Syllidae) [PDF]
Background Ramisyllis kingghidorahi (Annelida, Syllidae) is one of few annelid species with a ramified body, one anterior end and hundreds of posterior ends. R.

Cellular proliferation dynamics during regeneration in Syllis malaquini (Syllidae, Annelida) [PDF]
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
