Morphological convergence and adaptation in cave and pelagic scale worms (Polynoidae, Annelida)

Abstract Across Annelida, accessing the water column drives morphological and lifestyle modifications—yet in the primarily “benthic” scale worms, the ecological significance of swimming has largely been ignored. We investigated genetic, morphological and behavioural adaptations associated with swimm...
