Malmgren undertook several scientific expeditions, especially in the northern latitudes, to the White Sea (1856) and to Spitsbergen and Finnmark as a participant in the first three Swedish expeditions (1861, 1864 and 1868). His most important scientific work involving the boreal region's fauna and flora; These include ''Kritisk öfversigt af Finlands fiskfauna'' (1863), ''Anteckningar om Spetsbergens fågelfauna'' (1863–64), ''Iakttagelser och anteckningar till Finnmarkens och Spetsbergens däggdjursfauna'' (1865) and ''Bidrag till Finnmarkens fiskfauna'' (1867).

Polychaete
Polychaeta () is a paraphyletic class of generally marine Annelid, annelid worms, common name, commonly called bristle worms or polychaetes (). Each body segment has a pair of fleshy protrusions called parapodia that bear many bristles, called chaetae, which are made of chitin. More than 10,000 species are described in this class. Common representatives include the lugworm (''Arenicola marina'') and the Alitta virens, sandworm or Alitta succinea, clam worm ''Alitta''. Polychaetes as a class are robust and widespread, with species that live in the coldest ocean temperatures of the abyssal plain, to forms which tolerate the extremely high temperatures near hydrothermal vents. Polychaetes occur throughout the Earth's oceans at all depths, from forms that live as plankton near the surface, to a 2- to 3-cm specimen (still unclassified) observed by the robot ocean probe Nereus (underwater vehicle), ''Nereus'' at the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest known spot in the Earth's ...

Pista Pacifica
''Pista pacifica'' is a species of polychaete worm in the family Terebellidae native to the coastal regions of the northeastern Pacific Ocean, from British Columbia to Southern California Southern California (commonly shortened to SoCal) is a geographic and Cultural area, cultural List of regions of California, region that generally comprises the southern portion of the U.S. state of California. Its densely populated coastal reg .... It creates vertical tubes in intertidal mud or sand that can be more than two feet deep. The tubes extend above the substrate, terminating in overhangs bearing many marginal tendrils. The worms themselves can grow up to 37 cm long, and, like all members of the family Terebellidae, they are particle feeders that use their tentacles to forage for organic detritus around their burrows. The scale worm '' Halosydna brevisetosa'' may reside commensally in their tubes. References Terebellida {{annelid-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
