Dear list mates,
Still writing the manuscript on polychaete patterns off La Gomera Island
(Tenerife, Spain). I have a question regarding the characteristic
occurrence of Hyalinoecia bilineata in my study sites that may be related to
their flexible feeding behaviour and the oligotrophic condition of the
Canarian waters.
Fauchald & Jumars (1979) have suggested that Hyalinoecia spp. are
opportunists displaying omnivorous scavenging and high motility and are
better represented in nutrient-poor, shifting sands than any other onuphid.
Do you know of any published study where such pattern is confirmed? If so,
could you give the full reference of it?
Thank you,
Salva
