E-Book Overview
Turbellaria, the mainly free-living flatworms, and some of their parasitic relatives, are among the simplest of the metazoa and, as such, provide ideal models for a wide range of fundamental studies. The 60 contributions to <em>Biology of Turbellaria and some Related<em>Flatworms cover taxonomy and phylogeny, biogeography and genetics, ecology and behaviour, Anatomy and ultrastructure, development and regeneration, genes and sequences, and neurophysiology. <em>Biology of<em>Turbellaria and some Related Flatworms is the most recent compilation in the series published in <em>Hydrobiologia since 1981, covering research on these flatworms assembled by the world's leading authorities on the group. <em>Audience: These papers present the advanced student and serious researcher with up to date information on an important, but often neglected group whose place in the animal kingdom demands greater attention.
