Meeting Abstract 94.3 Tuesday, Jan. 6 14:00 Phylogenomics and species-tree analyses reveal deep-sea family Siboglinidae (Annelida) relationships LI, Y*; KOCOT, KM; SANTOS, SR; HALANYCH, KM; Auburn University yzl0084@auburn.edu Deep-sea tubeworms (Annelid, Siboglinidae) have drawn considerable interest in ecology and evolutionary biology. As adults, they lack a digestive tract and rely on endosymbionts for nutrition. Moreover, they are […]
