Annelida listers,
I recal the interest in bipolarity research a few months ago, and
selection of candidate worms for a barcoding project related to it.
Here is a new paper on a bryozoan, Callopora weslawski, morphologically
identified.
Kuklinski, P.; Barnes, D.K.A. (2010). First bipolar benthic brooder.
Marine Ecology Progress Series 401: 15-20.
<http://dx.doi.org/10.3354/meps08446>
Although the title would indicate a proven case, the authors conclude
rather more circumspectly that "C. weslawski seems to be the strongest
candidate to date of a bipolar benthic brooder".
