Dear list mates,
I am a currently involved in a project of catalogation of aquatic fauna in
the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve, in the Peruvian Amazon, field work starting
this summer.
I am collecting information on Amazon/Tropical American polychaetes. If any
of you has or is working with them I would appreciate some feed-back
regarding the species you find. So far, from the references I have
gathered (see list below) it appears that sabellids and nereids are the
most common families in this freshwater habitat, but I obviously ignore
whether this is a research-effort trend rather than a biological fact.
Thanks.
Salva
