Echinoderm Research | Michel Jangoux | Taylor & Francis eBooks, Refere

ABSTRACT

This book is an outcome of the second European conference on Echinoderm brussels held in Belgium in 1989. It covers the following areas of research in echinoderm: paleontology, reproduction, development and larval biology, evolution, systematics and biogeography, morphology and physiology.
