• Abstract

  The present study aims to investigate the evolutionary relationships between the taxa currently assigned to the families Telothelepodidae and Thelepodidae, based on morphological characters. Complete diagnoses will be provided for each genus, together with full descriptions of type material of two new species and all the other 12 species previously known of the family Telothelepodidae, wh…

• Abstract

  The aim of this project is to continue an on-going project which studies the species of polychaetes living on hard substrates along the state of Paraíba, from the intertidal zone to shallow sublitoral; if approved by FAPESP, the project will be expanded to the state of Pernambuco. According to preliminary observations by a recently concluded project (Projeto Biota Paraíba - macrofauna de …

• Abstract

  Sabellids (Sabellidae Latreille, 1825) are benthic annelids found in all marine and some brackish and fresh water environments. It is one of the largest polychaete families with 46 genera and around 500 described species. Traditionally, the family is divided in two monophyletic subfamilies, Fabriciinae Rioja, 1923 and Sabellinae Latreille, 1825, the latter much more diverse. Recently, stu…

  Sabellidae (Polychaeta) from Ilha Grande Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, BP.IC

• Abstract

  The present project aims a taxonomic survey of the species of polychaetes belonging to Terebellidae, Trichobranchidae and Sabellidae families collected along the Brazilian coast between the states of Sao Paulo and Paraíba, including identification keys and detailed descriptions with illustrative tables. Although they are abundant and conspicuous animals in different environments which the…

• Abstract

  This project has two goals:1-) the taxonomic survey of the species of polychaetes belonging to the family Syllidae found in the Araçá Bay, São Sebastião (SP). The identifications will be done based on morphological characters examined under light microscope and, when the number of specimens and their state of preservation permit, also under the scanning electron microscope, with the aid o…

• Abstract

  The present study aims to identify and describe the terebelliform polychaetes from the Lizard Island Group, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Material was collected from several localities of the Group, along a two-weeks taxonomic workshop on polychaetes, at the Lizard Island Research Station, in August 2013. In addition, material collected at the Lizard Island Group by another project (CRee…

  Terebelliformia (Polychaeta) from the Lizard Island Group, great barrier reef, Australia, BE.PQ

• Abstract

  Syllidae Grube, 1850, is one of the largest polychaete families, currently comprising around 720 species, distributed in 70 genera. Despite being common in nearly all benthic marine samples, less abundantly at great depths, only recently the family began to be more thoroughly studied in Brazil, leading to a prominent volume of species descriptions in recent years, including both new occur…

• Abstract

  Terebellidae and Trichobranchidae are selective deposit-feedings, often inhabiting mucous tubes with agglutinated particles such as sand, stones and shell fragments. These animals are easily recognized by the presence of multiple grooved buccal tentacles, covering a wide area around the tube. On the other hand, Sabellidae live in tubes made of secreted mucous, and inhabit virtually all ma…
