Talk:Annelid
From Academic Kids
This page lists two different numbers of species, right next to each other: 12000 and 15000. Where are these counts coming from?
- Page 607 of Campell's Biology: Fourth Edition says "about 15,000 annelid species." --mav
Do we want to use "trocophore" or "trochophore"? "Trocophore" is already in use in Wikipedia, across several articles; but "trochophore" is 10 times more common according to Google, and matches better with "Trochozoa", which appears in Wikipedia (see the Trochozoa article).
- "trochophore" gets my vote. WormRunner 18:15, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)
moved the following from the article. The info only applies to the polychaeta and needs rewritten. WormRunner 17:47, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Annelids are segmented worms and each segment consist of sex cells. Annelids are usually hemaphordites but there are some individual sexes also. Reproduction actually occurs in a specific time of the year, and ciliated sex cells are dispersed in the sea.
