Annulus (zoology)

[1] Annuli are commonly found in segmented animals such as earthworms and leeches.

The bodies of these annelids are externally marked by annuli that are arranged in series with each other.

An annulus may also be an indication of growth in certain species, similar to dendrochronology.

[2] In bivalve mollusks, annuli are concentric growth rings in their shells.
