Phylogeny and Biogeography of <em>Branchipolynoe</em> (Polynoidae, Phyllodocida, Aciculata, Annelida), with Descriptions of Five New Species from Methane Seeps and Hydrothermal Vents

The four named species of <i>Branchipolynoe</i> all live symbiotically in mytilid mussels (<i>Bathymodiolus</i>) that occur at hydrothermal vents or methane seeps. Analyses using mitochondrial (COI and 16S) and nuclear (ITS) genes, as well as morphology, were conducted on a c...
