01Narrative

Apomatus similis is een borstelworm uit de familie Serpulidae. Het lichaam van de worm bestaat uit een kop, een cilindrisch, gesegmenteerd lichaam en een staartstukje. De kop bestaat uit een prostomium en een peristomium en draagt gepaarde aanhangsels. Apomatus similis werd in 1875 voor het eerst wetenschappelijk beschreven door Marion & Bobretzky.

05DNA & barcoding6 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Apomatus similis has left across the world's sequence archives.
