Their goal is to have a listing for each of the approximately more than 240,000 marine species. [5] [6] VLIZ also hosts the Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG), using a common infrastructure. [7] [8] In 2021, a genus of extinct sea snails was named after the WoRMS database: †Wormsina Harzhauser & Landau, 2021. [9]
Priapulus caudatus is one of only nineteen known species in the phylum Priapulida. [2] French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck first described it in 1816. [1] Phylogenetic studies have indicated that scalidophorans, to which priapulids belong, are a basal clade of ecdysozoans (animals that grow by shedding their exoskeleton), and thus a sister group to all other ecdysozoans, an assortment ...
Polychaeta (/ ˌ p ɒ l ɪ ˈ k iː t ə /) is a paraphyletic [1] class of generally marine annelid worms, commonly called bristle worms or polychaetes (/ ˈ p ɒ l ɪ ˌ k iː t s /).

Almost 900 species are currently recognised belonging to 9 subfamilies and 167 genera. [1] They are active hunters, but generally dwell in protected environments such as under stones.
Orbiniida is an order of small polychaete worms in the phylum Annelida. [3] It is the earliest diverging clade in Sedentaria. [2] Along with Protodriliformia (in Errantia), this order is composed of meiofaunal marine worms formerly known as "archiannelids". [4] These worms inhabit the marine interstitial ecosystem, the space between sand grains ...

It was developed as the information management component of the ten year Census of Marine Life (CoML) (2001-2010), but is not limited to CoML-derived data, and aims to provide an integrated view of all marine biodiversity data that may be made available to it on an open access basis by respective data custodians. According to its web site as at ...
