Subject: Recent papers to share
Dear Geoff,
I would like to share with you and your members two papers that we recently published investigating the role of infauna (including polychaetes) on ecosystem functioning. I believe some of your members will be interested to read about the effect of their favourite animal group (i.e. polychaetes) on organic matter remineralization, an important function provided by benthic ecosystems.
