Morphological convergence and adaptation in cave and pelagic scale worms (Polynoidae, Annelida).

Scientific reports - 21 May 2021

Gonzalez Brett C, Martínez Alejandro, Worsaae Katrine, Osborn Karen J

Abstract excerpt

Across Annelida, accessing the water column drives morphological and lifestyle modifications-yet in the primarily "benthic" scale worms, the ecological significance of swimming has largely been ignored. We investigated genetic, morphological and behavioural adaptations associated with swimming across Polynoidae, using mitogenomics and comparative methods. Mitochondrial genomes from cave and pelagic polynoids were...
