MOLECULAR AND MORPHOLOGICAL PHYLOGENIES OF SPIRORBINAE (SERPULIDAE, POLYCHAETA, ANNELIDA) AND THE EVOLUTION OF BROODING MODES

Molecular and Morphological Phylogenies of Spirorbinae (Serpulidae, Polychaeta, Annelida) and the Evolution of Brooding Modes

Spirorbinae, a ubiquitous group of marine calcareous tubeworms with a small body size as adults, have a fascinating diversity of brooding modes that form the basis for their taxonomic division into six tribes (traditionally subfamilies): in-tube incubation, with varying degrees of attachment to adult structures (four tribes), and external incubatio
