Like many other annelids, bearded fireworms, Hermodice carunculata, are capable of regenerating posterior body segments and terminal structures lost to amputation. Although previous research has examined anterior regeneration in other fireworm species, posterior regenerative ability in fireworms remains poorly studied. As the morphology of the anal lobe (a small, fleshy terminal structure of unknown function) has been used to distinguish East and West Atlantic H.

- Archinome rosacea, first identified in the mid-1980s at the Galapagos Rift, has been found in hydrothermal vents across various oceans, with a new species recently identified from the Pacific Antarctic Ridge.
- Molecular analyses revealed five distinct Archinome species, including three new species based solely on genetic evidence, which are found in different oceanic locations including the Pacific and Atlantic.
- The study emphasizes the biogeographic connections between hydrothermal vents and cold methane seeps, suggesting evolutionary links among populations from vents in the east Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.
Chemical systems, far from thermodynamic equilibrium, may spontaneously self-construct complex structures mimicking biological structures.
