Found worldwide at all depths, though they prefer cool, well-oxygenated, and low-light environments.
Only ~5% of all known brachiopod species are alive today.
Fewer than 500 species exist today compared to thousands in the fossil record, marking a massive decline in their ecological importance. VI. Conclusion
Lingula (an inarticulate) is considered a "living fossil," remaining virtually unchanged for over 500 million years. IV. Evolutionary History and Paleontology
