Adaptations of Marine Worms in Antarctica

How big are the marine worms that you are going to be studying? Where do they fit into the food web?

Betsy, Thanks for the great question. The worm that we're studying *Captellid perarmata* is fairly small about 3 cm. It lives in the top of the sediment in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. I'll be learning more about it and sharing that with you soon! Stay tuned!
