  1. †

    Katrine Worsaae received her PhD from the University of Copenhagen in 2004. She is now associate research professor at the University of Copenhagen. Her research centers around the morphology and evolution of interstitial and microscopic Annelida—and evolutionary hypotheses such as progenesis. During postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Adelaide, she established a collaboration with Greg Rouse and started a detailed study of Diurodrilus. This cooperative study ultimately led to the award-winning paper published in this issue of the Journal of Morphology.

    Greg Rouse is Professor of Marine Biology and Curator of the Benthic Invertebrate Collection at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography/University of California San Diego. He previously worked at the South Australian Museum/University of Adelaide, University of Sydney and the Smithsonian Institution. Greg has worked extensively on annelid morphology and phylogeny at both broad and fine scales.
