 CHAETOPODA - LoveToKnow Article on CHAETOPODA
On the hypothesis that such a form as Dinophilus (see Haplodrili) has preserved the characters of the primitive Chaetopod more nearly than any existing Polychaet or Oligochaet, it is clear that the nephridia in the Oligochaeta have preserved the original features of those organs more nearly than most Polychaeta.
They Contrast with those of the Oligochaeta and Hirudinea by reason of their frequently close association with the gonads, the same organ sometimes serving the two functions of excretion and conveyance of the ova and spermatozoa out of the body.
The same arrangement is found in some other Polychaetes; for instance, in Sabellaria there is a single pair of large anterior nephridia, which open by a common pore, followed after an interval by large-funnelled and short nephridia.

 Class Oligochaeta
Oligochaetes are important primary consumers in many systems, where they are important in the early links of some food chains.
Earthworms have an interesting method of reproducing sexually.
There are some that are marine, but most (94%) live out of seawater: many are easily found in lakes and rivers.

 Classes of Annelids
Oligochaetes also have an obvious structure in the digestive system called the typlosole which is a mid-dorsal groove that results in an invagination of the digestive wall.
Remember, these are only present in polychaetes-as a result, polychaetes tend to have a greater diversity of forms than oligochaets or hirudineans.
This increases surface area for digestion since many oligochaetes are dirt eaters, there is alot of processing involved.

The aim of this review is to describe the responses of leeches to different kinds of stimuli (infections following non-self agent attacks, surgical lesions, grafts).
A detailed analysis of the immune mechanisms involved in annelids has been performed in oligochaets, but few data are available in polichaets and hirudineans.
The innate immune response is the first line of defence strategies in invertebrates against attack of infectious agents.

Four species of Megascolecidae and two species of Lumbricidae were found.

The insects are scavengers and may be controlled with insecticidal drenches.
This may indicate Oligochaets, or shore fly larvae.
Small, clear to whitish worms with black head capsules are evident on and around damaged root system.

 Brief Survey of Animals
This phylum includes the earthworm, class Oligochaets and the leech, class Hirudinea.
The most striking characteristic of the segmented worms, is the division of the body into separate sections, or segments.

 WSNL97-1 Goetting
Frequent species are the molluscs Macoma balthica and Hydrobia ulvae, polychaets like Nereis diversicolor and Heteromastus filiformis, oligochaets (Tubificoides benedii, Tubifex costatus) and crustacea.
During the first years after clay removal, the typical benthic fauna of eulitoral mud flats is found in the refilled area.
With rising soil level and immigration of plants, this community is replaced by terrestrial species and can only survive in tideways and mud flats.

Each specialist will analyse the fauna of his sampling areas and will collaborate to the identification of the material of other sampling areas selected:
This consortium groups a large panel of specialists of invertebrates: Mollusca; Hirudinae, Oligochaets (Tubificidae, Naididae, Lumbricidae), Nematods, Crustaceans (Bathynella, Amphipoda, Isopoda, Copepoda, Cladocera); Acari; Insects, etc…

 Fact Sheet for Hoplosternum littorale (Hancock, 1828)
Over their native range larvae and young juveniles feed mostly on rotiferans, microcrustaceans (especially cladocerans and copepods) and other small invertebrates.
Older juveniles and adults feed mostly on benthic invertebrates, aquatic insects (especially chironomid larvae), microcrustaceans and detritus, opportunistically also taking gastropods, nematodes, oligochaets, and various algae (Winemiller, 1987; Mol, 1995; Nico et al., 1996).
Other food items included detritus, setae (probably from digested oligochaets), small gastropods, copepods, cladocerans, ostracods, fish scales, seeds, and insect fragments.

 Animal and Plant Diversity and Ecology in Siberia
At the Limnological Institute in course of molecular phylogenetic studies ca 700bp long fragment of mitochondrial gene coding for the first sub unit of cytochrom c oxydase have been successfully used to analyze evolutionary relationships within amphipods, 3 families of molluscs and oligochaets.
Currently it is well accepted, that this fragment is usefull for evolutionary studies at different levels including the population one: in spite of relatively high evolutionary robustness of its amino acid composition, the accumulation rate of synonymous base substitutions, especially transitions, is still very high.
By comparing the data obtained to the existing qualitative knowledge on the processes going on the model ecosystems we expect to estimate the usability of different methods of numerical descriptions of ecosystem and obtain more adequate tool for uniform description of biodiversity in different ecosystems.

 Abstracts
Three techniques were used in parallel: freeze-core technique, air-lift sampler and powered grab sampling.
The benthic community was dominated by Hydropsyche contubernalis (36.2%), chironomids (35.8%) and oligochaets (23.2%).
From 1975 to 1985 the macrofauna exponentially increased from ca 50 individuals per m

 Ruffe Literature Review
On a species level, some species of chironomids may be selected against (Nagy 1986).
(Bergman 1990b; Bergman and Greenberg 1994), but select against oligochaets (Leszczynski 1963; Nagy 1986) and Hirudinea (Nagy 1986).

 Statewide Ohio bird sightings in December 1998
Again I suspect, interstitial arthropods, oligochaets, etc. are tough to come by, the resource of the moment being sandflies or of that ilk.
Interestingly, the Greater Yellowlegs seemed a bit put off by all this activity keeping itself at the periphery of the fray, making stabs yes, but for every one by it, the other birds made three.
Instead of spinning today, the phalarope and both Lesser Yellowlegs engaged in this intricate weaving ballet over the drier sandflat, frantically picking at the surface of the substrate rather than probing within it or the shallows.

 DIALOG Dissertation Abstracts
Five macrozoobethic communities were found: 3 communities with dominant amphipods, 2 with dominant oligochaets.
Obligatory beach dwellers consist of two species complexes: amphybionts and hydrobionts.
Predominance of this or that zoobenthic species is determined by the size of substratum pores.

Benthic invertebrate abundance in both the littoral and profundal zones was extremely low, with biomasses varying from 0.08 to 3.5 g dry weight/m
At most stations oligochaets or chironomids dominated the fauna.
Volatile organic residue in the profundal sediments was maximal (5.5%) at RM 99 and decreased near the Colorado River inflow.
