Myllen
Myllen is a genus of marine invertebrates belonging to the phylum Annelida, class Polychaeta. These segmented worms are known for their burrowing behavior and complex sensory systems, which allow them to thrive in various seabed environments. Myllen species are commonly found in shallow coastal waters, often inhabiting sandy, muddy, or muddy-sand substrates.
Typically, Myllen worms have elongated, cylindrical bodies that range in size from a few millimeters to several
Myllen play a vital role in benthic ecosystems as detritivores and burrowers. They contribute to sediment aeration
Research indicates that Myllen species exhibit adaptable behaviors conducive to environmental changes, such as sediment type
While not extensively studied compared to other polychaetes, Myllen is of interest due to its ecological functions
