[Annelida] RE: Capitella in Antarctic conditions

[Geoff Read]

Only by genetics probably, C perarmata Gravier being sufficiently alike C. capitata morphologically to be confused. Sure hope they're doing that too.
Maybe the bipolar study people could have looked at the respective Capitella.

Hi all,

Thought this article would be of interest.  Capitella species make the news.  I hope they can be reliably identified!!
