The functional morphology and ecology of Chone mollis

<p>Chone mollis occurs in large numbers in Tomales Bay and is an ecologically important infaunal member of the bay community. As with most marine communities, very little work has been done with individual species of the community. The present study of C. mollis is a contribution towards an understanding of the community as an ecological unit.</p><p> This study investigates the structure and function of the tube; tube-building habits; burrowing and locomotion; external anatomy; feeding; and internal anatomy of the muscular, skeletal, vascular, excretory, reproductive, and alimentary systems of C. mollis.</p>
