Coelenterate Biology 2003 Trends in Research on Cnidaria and Ctenophora, Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Coelenterate Biology, Held at the University of Kans

This volume, the proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Coelenterate Biology, is organized as the meeting was around six topics. Because several sessions of ICCB7 constituted the 2003 North American meeting of the International Society for Reef Studies, the subject of coral reefs is strongly represented in the section on Ecology. The other themes are Neurobiology; Reproduction, Development, and Life Cycles; Pioneers in Coelenterate Biology; Cnidae; and Taxonomy and Systematics. Ctenophores, as well as representatives of all four classes of cnidarians are among the study subjects of the research reported in this volume. The theme of variability runs through the volume be it in cnidae, morphology, behavior, neurobiology, ecology, colony form, or reproduction, variability is a major reason these animals are so interesting and challenging to study! This is a must-read resource for anyone doing research or planning to do research on cnidarians and ctenophores.Fautin, Daphne G. is the author of 'Coelenterate Biology 2003 Trends in Research on Cnidaria and Ctenophora, Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Coelenterate Biology, Held at the University of Kans', published 2005 under ISBN 9781402027611 and ISBN 1402027613.
