(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background Our knowledge of the benthic fauna at lower bathyal to abyssal (LBA, > 2000 m) depths off Eastern Australia was very limited with only a few samples having been collected from these habitats over the last ...
    • New and Poorly Known Species of Peniagone (Holothuroidea, Elpidiidae) from the Northwest Pacific Ocean with Discussion on Phylogeny of the Genus

    • New insights into the morphology and evolution of the ventral pharynx and jaws in Histriobdellidae (Eunicida, Annelida) 

      Tzetlin, Alexander; Budaeva, Nataliya; Vortsepneva, Elena; Helm, Conrad (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-19)
      The jaw apparatus in several annelid families represents a powerful tool for systematic approaches and evolutionary investigations. Nevertheless, for several taxa, this character complex has scarcely been investigated, and ...
    • Phylogeny and Cryptic Diversity of Diopatra (Onuphidae, Annelida) in the East Atlantic 

      Hektoen, Martin Mejdell; Willassen, Endre; Budaeva, Nataliya (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Diopatra Audouin & Milne-Edwards, 1833 is a species rich genus that is common in tropical and subtropical regions. The genus is readily identified by its striking, spiral branchiae, but species identification has historically ...
    • When molecules support morphology: Phylogenetic reconstruction of the family Onuphidae (Eunicida, Annelida) based on 16S rDNA and 18S rDNA
