DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9093
Abstract: Abstract The Antarctic marine environment hosts diversified and highly endemic benthos owing to its unique geologic and climatic history. Current warming trends have increased the urgency of understanding Antarctic species history to predict how environmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep46205
Abstract: Polynoid scale worms (Polynoidae, Annelida) invaded deep-sea chemosynthesis-based ecosystems approximately 60 million years ago, but little is known about their genetic adaptation to the extreme deep-sea environment. In this study, we reported the first two… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.210541
Abstract: Annelids are predominantly found along with the seafloor, but over time have colonized a vast diversity of habitats, such as the water column, where different modes of locomotion are necessary. Yet, little is known about… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2018.00112
Abstract: Scale worms in the family Polynoidae are common inhabitants of both shallow-water and deep-sea ecosystems, but their diversity in the deep-sea remains poorly known. In the Western Pacific, only ten polynoid species have been described… read more here.
