Kristian Fauchald's Polychaeta DB

Comparative studies of the genera Hesionides and Microphthalmus have produced a lot of results to anatomy, ecology, life history, locomotion and systematics (3 new species) of polychaetes. The small shape of the body, adhesive anal lobes, neuropods working like legs, aberrant complicated sexual organs, shape of the sperms, formation of spermatophores, development in cocoons, seasonal migrations etc. are considered as adaptations to the extreme environmental factors of sandy biotopes.
