1st Juan Junoy, from the University of Alcalá; Javier Cristobo, from the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, and Gonzalo Giribet and Sónia Andrade, from the Harvard Univesity, among other experts. Brooding is a usual behavior in animals. Nov. 27, 2013 — Brooding is a usual behavior in animals. However, to observe it in a marine worm is exceptional and, more surprisingly, it guards eggs from external threats. In marine Antarctic waters, UB experts found some 2-3 cm long cocoons brooded by female nemerteans. During reproduction, females secrete a very dense mucous through the body wall; it solidifies when getting in touch with marine water until creating then an elastic layer. Once the cocoon is created, females lay eggs on it. Unexpectedly, they act in a non-passive way: when cocoons are disturbed, females show a defensive behavior and go out through cocoons' openings.
2nd "It is important to remember that the group led by Professor Conxita Àvila participated in the discovery of a new species ofOsedax, a bone-eating marine invertebrate, named Osedax deceptionensis."
3rd I chose this article because it is very interesting finding a new species and what is it and can bring.
