ABSTRACT. A total of 150 specimens of Gymnoneridinae Banse were identified from the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Three species were recorded: Ceratocephale andaman n.sp. with and without eyes, cirrophores enlarged on setiger 9,... more
ABSTRACT. In connection with a study of the Annelida Polychaeta of Thailand, the Thai species of Perinereis and Pseudonereis (Nereidae) are reviewed. Four species of Perinereis (P. aibuhitensis, P. quatrefagesi, P. singaporiensis, P.... more
Specimens of the trace fossil Gyrochorte from the Ordovician, Jurassic and Cretaceous of Utah, and the Pliocene of Spain are described. These ocurrences expand the stratigraphic range of the ichnogenus, and allow for a reexamination of... more
This study provides an updated catalogue of non-indigenous species (NIS) of polychaetes reported from the continental coasts of the Iberian Peninsula based on the available literature. A list of 23 introduced species were regarded as... more
Polychaetes are abundant and ecologically important benthic organisms, yet their diversity and phylogenetic relationships are far from being resolved. The purpose of my dissertation was to measure their diversity in the Gulf of Mexico and... more
In order to clarify taxonomic problems relating to the identity of Scolelepis (Scolelepis) specimens from the Black Sea, the identified material was compared with specimens of Scolelepis cirratulus (Delle Chiaje, 1829) from the... more
This work recognises five species of Paradiopatra from southwestern Europe, represented in the Bay of Biscay, the Atlantic coasts of Iberia and the western Mediterranean Sea. One species, Paradiopatra florencioi sp. nov., is newly... more
A B S T R A C T During the Vema-TRANSIT (Bathymetry of the Vema-Fracture Zone and Puerto Rico TRench and Abyssal AtlaNtic BiodiverSITy Study) expedition from December, 2014 to January, 2015, a transect along the Vema Fracture Zone in the... more
The incidence of neurodegenerative diseases is directly proportional to age. The prevalence of non-communicable diseases, for example, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, is expected to rise in the coming years. Understanding the etiopathology... more
The Miocene marine deposits at El Camp de Tarragona basin record sedimentation in a mixed (silicilastic-carbonatic) shelf. Some of them display unusual ichnofabrics dominated almost exclusively by the ichnogenus Cylindrichnus. Its... more
Serpulids are an important component of fouling communities. This paper provides an overview of the serpulid species found in North America, as part of a broader study of fouling invertebrates focused on NIS (non-indigenous species) in... more
With regard to the importance of polychaete Perinereis nuntia in diet of shrimp broodstock, achieving its breeding and culture bio technique is an important goal in shrimp industry. For this purpose, usage of diets inducing the highest... more
The polychaetous annelid Diopatra biscayensis Fauchald et al., 2012 was recently described from the Atlantic coast of France. It has been the subject of a plethora of publications dealing with its importance in the field of ecology: from... more
Serpulid polychaete tubes are described from Volgian-Ryazanian sediments (?Pyrgopolon decorata (Stolley, 1912), ?Pyrgopolon aff. nodulosum (Lundgren, 1883)) and four contemporaneous hydrocarbon seep deposits (?Pyrgopolon aff. nodulosum,... more
Ravara, A., Wiklund, H., Cunha, M. R. & Pleijel, F. (2010). Phylogenetic relationships within Nephtyidae (Polychaeta, Annelida). —Zoologica Scripta, 39, 394–405.We present the first phylogeny of nephtyids, a common, soft-bottom living... more
Annelids are a phylum of segmented bilaterian animals that have become important components of ecosystems spanning terrestrial realms to the deep sea. Annelids are remarkably diverse, possessing high taxonomic diversity and exceptional... more
The ultrastructure of the self-constructed tube housing of the bioluminescent marine worm, Chaetopterus sp. reveals that the bio-nanocomposite tube comprises of multiple non-woven plies of multi-axially oriented organic nanofilaments (ø... more

The present paper is a comparative study on parasitic infection of commercially important marine fishes from Andaman and Malabar Coast. The host, mode of attachment on the host and location specificity of external parasites also... more
A new species of orbiniid, Scoloplos maranhensis sp. nov., is described from a tropical mangrove (Quebra Pote, state of Maranhão, Brazil, 02°41.344’S; 44°12.604’W) along with a comparative table with all Scoloplos species. The main... more
Polychaete is among the largest and most diverse benthic animal in many marine ecosystems. However, in Malaysia the study on diversity of polychaete from soft bottom habitats, especially at the continental shelf of southern South China... more
The sabellariid Phragmatopoma caudata (Kroyer, 1856), Morch, 1863 is widely distributed in the Americas and constructs large reef agglomerates that provide substrates for other benthic species. However, the difficulty in obtaining size... more
ABSTRACT. Ten species of magelonids have been collected at Phuket Island, Thailand. The following species were obtained on the west coast of Phuket Island at depths ranging from 10 to 30 m: Magelona cincta, M. crenulifrons, M. kamala n.... more
ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to identify Micronephthys sphaerocirrata species in sub-tidal areas of Chabahar Bay during the time period from June 2013 to February 2014. The study area is located in southeast of Iran Oman - Sistan... more
