Convergent evolution of sensory palps in Scalibregmatidae (Annelida)

Paul Kalke, Katrine Worsaae, Patrick Beckers…·Conrad Helm

This study investigates the neural innervation of palp-like structures in Scalibregmatidae, finding they evolved convergently and differ from homologous structures in other annelids.
