This can include crustaceans such as shrimp or crabs, a wide range of worms such as polychaetes, and lots of mollusks, including mussels and snails. (I spent a summer picking polychaetes out of preserved samples from the bottom of Cape Cod Bay.)

A fantastic mid conference trip to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Messel Pit, a former oil shale quarry full of amazingly preserved fossils from the Eocene. Followed by an excursion to Lohrberg, a great opportunity for conference participants to get to know each other and chat about polychaetes

It could be an evolutionary remnant of a predatory ancestor, or an opportunistic strategy. This group is incredibly diverse, from filter feeders to detrivores to predators.

Polychaetes are important components of trophic webs in sandy beaches, mainly due to their abundance and diversity of feeding modes, acting as detritivores or primary/secondary consumers. We character...
