Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A new species of Syllis Grube, 1850 (Syllidae, Annelida) from marine aquaria is described in this study, including information about its life cycle, laboratory cultures, transcriptomic data, and an updated phylogeny of the group. Syllis malaquini sp. nov. is diagnosed by a slender body with a colour pattern consisting of dorsal dark lines on each segment and a dark stain on the anterior region of the prostomium, blades of falciger compound chaetae bidentate, with proximal and distal teeth of similar length, short dorsal cirri with alternation in length in the anterior body, one bidentate ventral simple chaeta and one dorsal simple chaeta with a distal notch in posterior parapodia, and thin pointed aciculae. Additionally, we present an updated molecular phylogeny of Syllinae, which indicates that Syllis malaquini sp. nov. clusters with specimens of Typosyllis gerundensis (Alós & Campoy, 1981), Syllis hyalina Grube, 1863, and Syllis armillaris (Müller, 1776) from the Mediterranean Sea. The new species is maintained in aquaria and petri dish cultures in the laboratory, and its life cycle was observed and documented. Syllis malaquini sp. nov. reproduces sexually by schizogamy and asexually by fission. Furthermore, transcriptomic data of the new species is provided as a useful tool for further studies and comparative approaches. Syllis malaquini sp. nov. is an interesting organism to study reproduction and regeneration in syllids.
