Article Synopsis
- The intertidal polychaete Spirobranchus kraussii was originally described in South Africa, but recent studies revealed it consists of multiple similar species, prompting a need for taxonomic revisions.
- Researchers have identified a new species, Spirobranchus bakau sp. nov., from Singapore's mangroves using morphological and molecular techniques, confirming its genetic distinction from S. kraussii and related species.
- The study also examined fertilization and embryonic development of S. bakau sp. nov. under varying salinities and temperatures, finding high fertilization success but narrower salinity tolerance for embryonic development, aiding future research on the species' distribution.
