Researchers have described an exceptionally well-preserved new fossil species of bristle worm called Kootenayscolex barbarensis. Discovered from the 508-million-year-old Marble Canyon fossil site in ...

The demand for rare raw materials, such as cobalt, is fuelling the exploration of the deep-sea floor for mining. Commercial deep-sea mining is currently prohibited in areas beyond national ...

Recent molecular phylogenetic analysis has shown that the marine animals known as peanut worms are not a separate phylum, but are definitely part of the family of annelids, also known as segmented ...

Annelids exhibit a remarkable capacity for regeneration that has long fascinated biologists, not only for its intrinsic biological interest but also for its potential applications in regenerative ...

A new species of ancient sea worm with an impressively elaborate set of star-shaped chaetae has been discovered after its puzzling fossilized form was found to be animal not mineral. And just as ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Making inferences about the evolution of larval nutritional mode and feeding mechanisms in annelids requires data on the form and function of ...

A new genetic analysis of a large group of ringed worms called annelids proves a 150-year-old hypothesis that these many species can be split into the lazy bums and the jocks. The annelids, which ...

This film discusses the evolutionary significance of segmented worms, particularly earthworms, within the phylum Annelida. It explains the structure and function of their segmented bodies, including ...
