Dear listmembers,
While examining some errant polychaetes in the SEM, I found some (what I
believe must be!) external sensory structures on all surfaces of the worm. My
question now exactly what kind of sensory receptor this is? See photos on
<http://www.bath.ac.uk/~enpth/SensoryStruct.html>. I would also be interested
to know if similar structures are found in other annelid groups. And if anyone
knows of studies done on the ultra-structure and function of these or similar
sensory structures in the annelids (or indeed other invertebrates), I would
like to have some references.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Hesselberg
