AI Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on Trichobranchidae species found in French waters, utilizing both existing material and newly collected specimens.
- It is part of a larger project called "Spaghetti Project," aimed at updating the classification of certain marine species.
- The study confirms that the cosmopolitan species Terebellides stroemii is not present in France while identifying eight new species of Terebellides and one new Trichobranchus species, along with an identification key for all European Trichobranchidae species.
Article Abstract
Trichobranchidae from French waters are revised based on material available in French marine stations and newly collected specimens. This research is the first part of the "Spaghetti Project" aiming to revise French species of terebellids and trichobranchids. It confirms the absence of the so-called cosmopolitan species Terebellides stroemii from French waters, and describes eight new species of Terebellides: T. bonifi n. sp., T. ceneresi n. sp., T. europaea n. sp., T. gentili n. sp., T. gralli n. sp., T. lilasae n. sp., T. parapari n. sp. and T. resomari n. sp. and one species of Trichobranchus: T. demontaudouini n. sp. using both morphological and molecular tools. An identification key for all European species of Trichobranchidae is provided.

Understanding the distribution and biodiversity of marine species is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies and maintaining the health of global ecosystems. Advancements in molecular data utilization have significantly improved our understanding of biodiversity within the genus Terebellides. In this study, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis on polychaete samples from the Kandalaksha Bay, White Sea, revealing their affiliation with a putative undescribed species of the genus Terebellides found in two locations of the North Sea.

Several new species of genus Sars, 1835 (Annelida, Trichobranchidae) have been recently described from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean after the detection of a large complex of species based on DNA sequence data from previous research. Some of those species (belonging to the so-called Group A) have already been described elsewhere. In this paper, we revise several clades belonging to Groups B, C and D resulting in the identification of five nominal species: Malm, 1874, Williams, 1984, Jirkov, 1989, Gagaev, 2009, and Parapar, Moreira & O'Reilly, 2016, plus one new species described here as All these species are characterised by a combination of morphological features complemented with a nucleotide diagnostic approach (specific COI nucleotides in the alignment position).

The number of described species of the genus Sars, 1835 (Annelida, Trichobranchidae) has greatly increased in the last years, particularly in the North East Atlantic. In this context, this paper deals with several putative species recently delineated by molecular means within a well delimited clade of . Species are characterised here by a combination of morphological characters, and a complementary nucleotide diagnostic approach.

Article Synopsis
- Terebelliformia, commonly known as "spaghetti worms," are diverse marine annelids, but their evolutionary relationships are unclear due to taxonomic ambiguities.
- This study analyzed the genetic data of 20 terebelliform species to create a comprehensive phylogeny based on over 12,000 genes and complemented it with additional morphological data from 121 species.
- Results confirmed the monophyly of six main taxa, redefined some classifications, and highlighted the evolutionary changes in their structures, challenging previous assumptions about their ancestral forms.
