Carbonic anhydrase genes were seen as logical candidates for providing the molecular basis for biomineralization in annelids, because the enzyme readily hydrolyzes carbon dioxide to form bicarbonate--a precursor of calcium carbonate (CaC[O.sub.3]) precipitation.

The taxonomic location of the phylum Onychophora, also know as "velvet worms", has been controversial because of its phenotypic and genotypic characteristics that are related to both annelids and arthropods, making it difficult to locate this phylum within the zoological scale (Hickman et al.

Aphroditids are carnivorous opportunistic predators, specialized in slow or sessile preys (Fauchald & Jumars, 1979), feeding on a wide variety of prey, like other annelids, small crustaceans, mollusks and diatoms (Pettibone, 1953).
