From two segments and beyond: Investigating the onset of regeneration in Syllis malaquini.

Annelids feature a diverse range of regenerative abilities, but complete whole-body regeneration is less common, particularly in the context of the head and anterior body regeneration. This study provides a detailed morphological description of Syllis malaquini regenerative abilities. By replicating previous experiments and performing diverse surgical procedures, we explored the capacity of this species for whole-body regeneration.
