From: Comparative transcriptomics in Syllidae (Annelida) indicates that posterior regeneration and regular growth are comparable, while anterior regeneration is a distinct process

Fig. 3

Light microscopy pictures of the regenerating Syllis gracilis. a, b, c, g, h, i anterior regeneration. d, e, f, j, k, l posterior regeneration. Anterior and posterior regeneration of S. gracilis were observed during 8 dpa. The wound is completely healed after 2 dpa and a blastema develops during the following days in both anterior and posterior regeneration. After 8dpa, the blastema was still elongating during anterior regeneration (a–c, g–i). Regarding posterior regeneration, the blastema differentiated between 4 and 7 dpa; after 8 dpa a pygidium bearing three short cirri was restored (d–f, j–l). All pictures are in dorsal view. Scale bar 0.2 mm. White dashed lines show amputation region
