 Explanation of biotope intolerance, recoverability and sensitivity assessments of Polydora sp. tubes on upward-facing ...
Polydora ciliata is probably relatively tolerant of smothering by 5 cm of sediment because the species inhabits a range of habitats including muddy sediment, larvae settle preferentially on substrates covered with mud (Lagadeuc, 1991) and worms can rebuild tubes close to the surface.
Polydora ciliata was present and colonized test panels in Helgoland in three areas, two exposed to strong tidal currents and one site sheltered from currents (Harms and Anger, 1983) so the species appears to tolerate a wide range of water flow regimes.
Polydora ciliata is assessed as having low intolerance to oxygenation because the species is repeatedly found at localities with oxygen deficiency (Pearson and Rosenberg, 1978).

 Ecology of Polydora sp. tubes on upward-facing circalittoral soft rock (MCR.Pol)
Polydora ciliata is predated upon by urchins and in Helgoland there is a close relationship between the distribution of Polydora ciliata and Echinus esculentus.
The early reproductive period of Polydora ciliata often enables the species to be the first to colonize available substrata (Green, 1983).
The settling of the first generation in April is followed by the accumulation and active fixing of mud continuously up to a peak during the month of May, when the hard substrata are covered with the thickest layer of mud.

 Irvine&Martindale: Culture of Polychaetes
Two common types are Polydora, which builds tubes in sand or on various hard substrates, and Chaetopterus, which builds U-shaped mucus tubes beneath sand or mud flats.
Polydora does this by sweeping nearby water and substrate with its long anterior palps, and Chaetopterus by catching material in a mucus net from water pumped through its tube.
Since Polydora larvae were never available in the large numbers possible with Chaetoperus, these cultures were always maintained at 0.1 larva per ml or less.

 Additional Ecology of Polydora ciliata in variable salinity infralittoral firm mud or clay (IMU.PolVS)
Polydora mats tend to be single species providing little space for other fauna or flora.
Adults of Polydora ciliata produce a 'mud' resulting from the perforation of soft rock substrata and the larvae of the species settle preferentially on substrata covered with mud (Lagadeuc, 1991).
A Polydora biotope is likely to reach maturity very rapidly because Polydora ciliata is a short lived species that reaches maturity within a few months and has three or four spawnings during a breeding season of several months.

 Basic information for Polydora ciliata (A bristleworm)
Polydora ciliata is widely distributed around Britain and Ireland.
Polydora ciliata usually burrows into substrata containing calcium carbonate such as limestone and chalk and into clay as well as the shells of oysters, mussels and periwinkles and crusts of calcareous algae ('lithothamnia').
Polydora ciliata has two very long, slender ciliated palps which protrude, waving vigorously and usually roll up spirally when the animal is disturbed.

 Guide to New Zealand Shell Polychaetes
Polychaete shell borers mostly are Boccardia, Polydora, and Dipolydora species of the family Spionidae, belonging to the Polydora-group of species, often referred to as the polydorids.
The best known pest worm of aquaculture is Polydora websteri, usually found in oysters, and often called the mudworm because of the mud-like fine particles it accumulates inside shell blisters.
Polydora cornuta doesn't bore shells, but may settle in high densities on them as surface fouling, and cause problem due to mud build-up.

 bulletin: The University of Sussex Newsletter Limpets lunch on chalk cliffs Friday 14th January 2000
Storms and rising sea levels (which are believed to be caused by global warming) are commonly held to be responsible.
But research by Claire Andrews, a DPhil student in CPES, points the finger at gastropods such as piddocks and polydora worms - and, in particular, at tiny but hungry limpets (Patella vulgata), who are nibbling away the soft chalk rocks at Cuckmere Haven, Birling Gap and Saltdean.
A spokeswoman from the Environment Agency said that although the research was unlikely to change sea-defence strategy, the Agency would be looking at Claire's findings in more detail.

The spionidan polychaetes Chaetopterus and Polydora are abundant on both coasts of North America.
Ripe adult Chaetopterus are commercially available in late spring and summer, and unfertilized gametes are easily obtained for in vitro fertilization.
Polydora, on the other hand, broods its embryos within the adult tube, so larvae are most easily obtained at pelagic stages from the culture medium.
