Dear annelidians,
Our article describing an analysis of the phylogenetic distribution of
regeneration and asexual reproduction throughout the Annelida has just been
published in Invertebrate Biology, and can be read at the link below:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ivb.12151/full
The article is open access and should be accessible to everyone.
Despite the large number of references collected for this work, we are
convinced that there is plenty of knowledge out there, in publications we
missed, gray literature, or the unpublished experiences of the many people
who work with segmented worms. I would love to hear from you about species
we have no data for in the current database. Feedback on the article and
analyses therein are also wormly welcome. As we mention there, the data
available covers less than 2% of the total species diversity of the phylum,
meaning there is a lot of work ahead!
Thanks!
-Ed-
