In addition to the suggestions of Geoff and Barrie I can add that the Fauna
of Australia volume on Polychaeta, Myzostomida, Pogonophora, Echiura,
Sipuncula is nearing completion - it is in the early page proof stage.
The 'polychaete' part (excluding myzos, pogs and ?echiurans) comprises
about 300 pp and includes specific chapters on natural history (including
physiology, reproduction, life cycles etc) and ecology of polychaetes, as
well as others on phylogeny, biogeography and fossils; also these topics are
covered in more detail in each of the family-level chapters.
Stay tuned for notification of its publication and purchase details.
