“…While all capitellids are similar in external morphology, they have successfully colonized diverse environments. Although most species inhabit bottom substrata such as polluted sediments (e.g., Tsutsumi, 1987;Ahn et al, 1995;Méndez et al, 2001;Dean, 2008;Croquer et al, 2016), sandy beaches (e.g., Delgado et al, 2003;Incera et al, 2006;Papageorgiou et al, 2006;García-Garza and De León-González, 2011;Tomioka et al, 2012), and seagrass beds (e.g., Nakaoka et al, 2002;Omena and Creed, 2004;Eklöf et al, 2005;Tanner, 2005;Tomioka et al, 2013), some dwell among squid egg masses (e.g., Hartman, 1947), or burrow into molluscan shells (Blake, 1969) or whale bones (e.g., Fujiwara et al, 2007;Amon et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2016;Sumida et al, 2016). Capitellidae is one of the few metazoan groups where some species exhibit poecilogony (e.g., Chia et al, 1996;Tsutsumi, 2005), or polymorphism in larval development, which has been reported only in some other polychaete groups (e.g., cirratulids, Petersen, 1999;spionids, David et al, 2014) and gastropod molluscs (e.g., Vedetti et al, 2012;McDonald et al, 2014).…”
