Laonice Malmgren 1867

Washington State Department of Ecology cc-publicdomain

Laonice is a genus of segmented worms in the family spionids. They are downward conveyors. They have parental care. They are sessile animals.

URI: http://polytraits.lifewatchgreece.eu/terms/RW_DC
Definition: Downward conveyors exhibit a feeding strategy opposite to that of upward conveyors. Vertically oriented head-up feeders actively select and ingest particles at the surface and egest these non-locally as faeces in deeper sediment strata
