To mark Worm Wednesday, we are happy to share publication of our new paper reviewing regeneration abilities in the annelid Capitella teleta. This paper is part of a special regeneration issue in Genes. You can find it here: mdpi.com/2073-4425/12/1…

Aysheaia pedunculata, a small, basal lobopodian from the Burgess Shale of Canada. Known from only a handful of specimens, it may have lived in or eaten sponges.

happy Cambrian explosion to those who celebrate
