Dispio [Dispio]
Description
Dispio is a genus within the family Scolelepididae, consisting of marine polychaete worms. These worms are characterized by their segmented bodies, each segment bearing a pair of paddle-like appendages known as parapodia, which are used for locomotion. Dispio species are often found in intertidal and subtidal zones with sandy or muddy substrates. They play a crucial role in the benthic ecosystem by participating in the nutrient cycling process and acting as a food source for various marine predators.
