Polychaetous Annelids from the South China Sea THE RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 2000 Supplement No. 8: 209-232 © National University of Singapore POLYCHAETOUS ANNELIDS FROM THE SOUTH CHINA SEA Hannelore Paxton Department ofBiological Sciences. Macquarie University. NS. W 2109, Australia L. M. Chou Department ofBiological Sciences, National University of Singapore, Kent Ridge 119260, Republic of Singapore ABSTRACT. - A checklist of polychaetous anneIids from the South China Sea is generated from available literature. On record are 661 species belonging to 54 families. Biodiversity distribution appears linked to collecting efforts rather than a reflection of the real situation. The potential for discovery of new species remains high. INTRODUCTION This check-list, based mainly on literature reports, lists 661 species ofpolychaetous annelids from the South China Sea. The apparently highest biodiversity ranked as mainland China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, is due mainly to the collecting efforts of residing specialists or expeditions rather than true biodiversity. The polychaetes listed belong to 54 families. The families are grouped according to Hartman (1959), except for the Eunicidae and related families. We are emphasising that this list is primarily based on literature rather than personal knowledge and are presenting references for each record. This list is only a baseline; we expect it to change considerably with the removal of names as families are revised, and the addition of new species, as the areas of the South China Sea become studied more extensively. This is publication number 300 of the Commonwealth Key Centre for Biodiversity and Bioresources, Macquarie University.

PETTIBONE SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 230 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S.

Gottfried Pillai Zoology Department, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, United Kingdom absTracT. In 1988 Pat Hutchings of the Australian Museum, Sydney, undertook an extensive polychaete collection trip off the Kimberley coast of Western Australia, where such a survey had not been conducted since Augener’s (1914) description of some polychaetes from the region. Serpulids were well represented in the collection, and their present study revealed the existence of two new genera, and new species belonging to the genera Protula, Vermiliopsis, Hydroides, Serpula and Spirobranchus. The synonymy of the difficult genera Spirobranchus, Pomatoceros and Pomatoleios is also dealt with. Certain difficult taxa currently referred to as “species complexes” or “species groups” are discussed. For this purpose it was considered necessary to undertake a comparison of apparently similar species, especially of Spirobranchus, from other locations in Australia and the Indo-West Pacific region. It revealed the existence of many more new species, which are also described and discussed below. Pillai, T. Gottfried, 2009.

Box 94766, 1090 GT Amsterdam, The Netherlands cBamfield Marine Sciences Centre, Bamfield, British Columbia, Canada, V0R 1B0 Received 19 December 2005; accepted 2 June 2006 Abstract Phylogenetic relationships of (19) serpulid taxa (including Spirorbinae) were reconstructed based on 18S rRNA gene sequence data. Maximum likelihood, Bayesian inference, and maximum parsimony methods were used in phylogenetic reconstruction. Regardless of the method used, monophyly of Serpulidae is confirmed and four monophyletic, well- supported major clades are recovered: the Spirorbinae and three groups hitherto referred to as the Protula-, Serpula-, and Pomatoceros-group. Contrary to the taxonomic literature and the hypothesis of opercular evolution, the Protula- clade contains non-operculate (Protula, Salmacina) and operculate taxa both with pinnulate and non-pinnulate peduncle (Filograna vs. Vermiliopsis), and most likely is the sister group to Spirorbinae. Operculate Serpulinae and poorly or non-operculate Filograninae are paraphyletic. It is likely that lack of opercula in some serpulid genera is not a plesiomorphic character state, but reflects a special adaptation. r 2007 Gesellschaft fu¨r Biologische Systematik.

  • Biomineralization of Polychaete Annelids in the Fossil Record
    minerals Review Biomineralization of Polychaete Annelids in the Fossil Record Olev Vinn Department of Geology, University of Tartu, Ravila 14A, 50411 Tartu, Estonia; [email protected]; Tel.: +372-5067728 Received: 31 August 2020; Accepted: 25 September 2020; Published: 29 September 2020 Abstract: Ten distinct microstructures occur in fossil serpulids and serpulid tubes can contain several layers with different microstructures. Diversity and complexity of serpulid skeletal structures has greatly increased throughout their evolution. In general, Cenozoic serpulid skeletal structures are better preserved than Mesozoic ones. The first complex serpulid microstructures comparable to those of complex structures of molluscs appeared in the Eocene. The evolution of serpulid tube microstructures can be explained by the importance of calcareous tubes for serpulids as protection against predators and environmental disturbances. Both fossil cirratulids and sabellids are single layered and have only spherulitic prismatic tube microstructures. Microstructures of sabellids and cirratulids have not evolved since the appearance of calcareous species in the Jurassic and Oligocene, respectively. The lack of evolution in sabellids and cirratulids may result from the unimportance of biomineralization for these groups as only few species of sabellids and cirratulids have ever built calcareous tubes. Keywords: biominerals; calcite; aragonite; skeletal structures; serpulids; sabellids; cirratulids; evolution 1. Introduction Among polychaete annelids, calcareous tubes are known in serpulids, cirratulids and sabellids [1–3]. The earliest serpulids and sabellids are known from the Permian [4], and cirratulids from the Oligocene [5]. Only serpulids dwell exclusively within calcareous tubes. Polychaete annelids build their tubes from calcite, aragonite or a mixture of both polymorphs. Calcareous polychaete tubes possess a variety of ultrastructural fabrics, from simple to complex, some being unique to annelids [1].

L. squamatus is a long-living, slow growing broadcast spawner, while H. imbricata is a short-living and quick growing species, with complex reproductive behaviour. These different life strategies may allow them to respond in a different way to the environmental limitations of the study site, this likely being the most appropriate explanation to the observed alternation in dominance.
