The role of colonization in determining spatial patterns of Proscoloplos bondi sp. nov. (Orbiniidae: Annelida) in coralline algal turf
We describe Proscoloplos bondi sp. nov., a new species of orbinid polychaete found in coralline algal turf on rocky intertidal shores near Sydney, Australia. We used field sampling to describe P. bondi's patterns...

Evolution of reproductive features and larval development in the genus Amphiglena (Polychaeta: Sabellidae)
Larval development in Amphiglena mediterranea is direct in the parental tube, and larvae crawl away as young juveniles with a radiolar crown capable of feeding. The non-feeding larvae of A. nathae are initially ...

Ultrastructure of sperm and spermathecae in Micromaldane spp. (Polychaeta: Capitellida: Maldanidae)
Assessing the possibility that external fertilization has ‘re-evolved’ requires the study of monophyletic groups that exhibit various reproductive methods. Maldanid polychaetes show a range of reproductive mec...

An ultrastructural study of the spermatozoa ofEulalia sp. (Phyllodocidae),Lepidonotus sp. (Polynoidae),Lumbrineris sp. (Lumbrineridae) andOwenia fusiformis (Oweniidae)
The ultrastructure of the mature spermatozoa of four polychaetes is described:Eulalia sp. (Phyllodocidae),Lepidonotus sp. (Polynoidae),Lumbrineris sp. (Lumbrineridae) andOwenia fusiformis (Oweniidae). All the spe...
