Terebelliformia comprises a large group of sedentary polychaetes which live from the intertidal
to the deep sea. The majority live in tubes and are selective deposit feeders. This study synthesises
the current knowledge of this group, including their distribution, in the different biogeographic
regions. We highlight the new methodologies being used to describe them and the resolution
of species complexes occurring in the group. The main aim of this review is to highlight the
knowledge gaps and to stimulate research in those directions, which will allow for knowledge of
their distribution and abundances to be used by ecologists and managers.Read less <
