Polychaetes (Annelida) associated with macroalgae and coral reefs at a protected tropical island from the Atlantic coast
Polychaetes are typical marine invertebrates in the macroalgae and coral reefs environments, with a particular emphasis on tropical waters. In this study, 44 specimens were collected, belonging to 10 families, 13 genera and 13 species, among which the families Nereididae (with three species) and Amp...
