Ecology and biology of chemoreception in polychaetes
نویسنده
چکیده
Nervous system and sensory structure morphologies provide useful information for reconstructing phylogenetic relationships among the Polychaeta, Annelida, and Arthropoda. With the more common use of indirect immunocytochemistry and laser scanning confocal microscopy methods, the detailed information available from morphological studies has increased. Despite this wealth of information, developing an integrated understanding of the ecology, physiology, morphology, and molecular mechanisms of sensory systems in polychaetes remains a challenge. For many marine organisms, including polychaetes, chemical signals and chemoreception mediate numerous ecologically important behaviors including defense, reproduction, recruitment, and feeding, yet the mechanism of chemoreception in polychaetes has not been well described. This review summarizes research on the ecology and biology of polychaete chemoreception, particularly as it mediates reproduction, recruitment, and feeding, discusses the chemosensory structures of polychaetes, and describes recent advances in our understanding of chemoreception mechanisms in polychaetes.

Polychaete worms with high species richness and diversity play a key role in the water food chain. In this research polychates of the intertidal zone of Tis coast in Chabahar bay were studied. Sampling was conducted over a period of one year, from summer to winter 2013 and during four seasons by 50 cm×50 cm quadrats. Twenty two families and 30 genera and 4 species were identified polychaetes.Th...
