Serpulidae (Annelida) of the Australian Indian Ocean Territories, RV Investigator voyages IN2021_V04 and IN2022_V08 (2021-2022)

Research voyages onboard RV ‘Investigator’ in 2021 (IN2021_V08) and 2022 (IN2022_V04) sampled benthic communities of seamounts off Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands, also known as the Australian Indian Ocean Territories (IOT). Over 150 specimens of the family Serpulidae (Annelida) collected during the voyages were deposited in the Australian Museum. Nine new species were described. All species descriptions are accompanied by DNA sequence data and their phylogenetic positions in the family Serpulidae have been assessed.
