Evolution of interstitial Polychaeta (Annelida)

  • Chapter
Morphology, Molecules, Evolution and Phylogeny in Polychaeta and Related Taxa

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 179))

Abstract

An update of the systematics is given for the eight most important interstitial polychaete families: Diurodrilidae, Nerillidae, Protodrilidae, Protodriloididae, Saccocirridae, Parergodrilidae, Polygordidae and Psammodrilidae. Additional information and new observations are presented for the Diurodrilidae, Nerillidae and Psammodrilidae. Three new supplementary evolutionary hypotheses for these families are here suggested: (I) basal position of Diurodrilidae in Polychaeta, (2) evolution of Nerillidae in mud, and (3) evolution from meio- to macrofaunal forms of Psammodrilidae.
