Combined morphological and molecular data unveils relationships of Pseudobranchiomma (Sabellidae, Annelida) and reveals higher diversity of this intriguing group of fan worms in Australia, including potentially introduced species
Capa, Maria; Murray, Anna (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Pseudobranchiomma (Sabellidae, Annelida) is a small and heterogeneous group of fan worms found in shallow marine environments and is generally associated with hard substrates. The delineation and composition of this genus ... -
Comparative analyses of morphological characters in Sphaerodoridae and allies (Annelida) revealed by an integrative microscopical approach
Helm, Conrad; Capa, Maria (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Sphaerodoridae is a group of benthic marine worms (Annelida) characterized by the presence of spherical tubercles covering their whole surface. They are commonly considered as belonging to Phyllodocida although sistergroup ... -
Describing the hidden species diversity of Chaetozone (Annelida, Cirratulidae) in the Norwegian Sea using morphological and molecular diagnostics
Grosse, Maël Ariel; Capa, Maria; Bakken, Torkild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Using molecular markers and species delimitation analyses, a high diversity of bi-tentaculate Cirratulidae was discovered from the North-East Atlantic. Five new species are described: Chaetozone pseudosetosa sp. nov., ... -
Developmental studies provide new insights into the evolution of sense organs in Sabellariidae (Annelida)
Helm, Conrad; Bok, Michael J; Hutchings, Pat; Kupriyanova, Elena; Capa, Maria (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Sabellarids, also known as honeycomb or sandcastle worms, when building their tubes, produce chemical signals (free fatty acids) that are responsible for larval settlement and the formation of three-dimensional ... -
First record of a Bispira species (Sabellidae: Polychaeta) from a hydrothermal vent
Capa, Maria; Nishi, E; Tanaka, K; Fujikura, K (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Fan worms (Sabellidae: Polychaeta) are known to inhabit deep-sea environments and some species have been reported from hydrothermal vents. However, this is the first record of a Bispira species from this environment. The ... -
Looking for alien invertebrates in Norwegian ports, extensive sampling, and precise identification
Espelien, Marte Svorkmo (Master thesis, 2020)Fremmedarter er sammen med klimaendringer, tap av habitat, overhøsting og forurensning de mest alvorlige truslene globalt mot biologisk mangfold. I det marine miljø spres arter blant annet gjennom internasjonal skipstrafikk ... -
Phylogenetic hypothesis of Sphaerodoridae Malmgren, 1867 (Annelida) and its position within Phyllodocida
Capa, Maria; Aguado, Maria Teresa; Bakken, Torkild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Sphaerodoridae is a small, morphologically well-defined group of annelids, with remarkable spherical tubercles covering their body surface. They have generally been considered as part of Phyllodocida, but there is no ... -
Revision of the Australian Sphaerodoridae (Annelida) including the description of four new species
Capa, Maria; Bakken, Torkild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)A revision of the complete sphaerodorid (Sphaerodoridae, Annelida) collections housed in the three major Australian museums (The Australian Museum, Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and Museum Victoria) has ... -
Species delimitation analyses of NE Atlantic Chaetozone (Annelida, Cirratulidae) reveals hidden diversity among a common and abundant marine annelid
Grosse, Maël Ariel; Bakken, Torkild; Nygren, Arne; Kongsrud, Jon Anders; Capa, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The polychaetes of the family Cirratulidae (Annelida) are common inhabitants in continental shelf benthic environments and considered an important group of organisms in environmental monitoring surveys. The family represents ... -
Species delimitation in Amblyosyllis (Annelida, Syllidae)
Aguado, M.T.; Capa, Maria; Lago-Barcia, D; Gil, João; Pleijel, F; Nygren, Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Amblyosyllis is a worldwide distributed group of annelids mainly found in coastal environments. It is well known among the polychaete specialists mostly because of its notable beauty, showing bright colourful patterns and ... -
