Description of Mooreonuphis jonesi, a new species of onuphid polychaete from shallow water in Bermuda, with comments on variability and population ecology
Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington
Mooreonuphis jonesi, new species (Polychaeta: Onuphidae) is described from shallow water sandy bays on Bermuda. The variability of morphological features is discussed. Larvae and juveniles are described and selected features of the population ecology of the species are discussed. The total length and numbers of setigers of any specimen are shown to be correlacted with measurements obtainable on any incomplete specimen. This makes it possible to calculate the total number of segments and the total length for all specimens of a collection and thus, size-frequency distributions can be based on all specimens sampled, rather than just on complete ones.
