The Sponges of California
The California Sponges project Addresses two basic needs. Need to organize and codify the minimal and cattered accounts of California Sponges so that more detailed and meaningful work on their systematics could begin. Need to create a key useable by experts as well as by ecologists, biologists, products chemists or students to identify California Sponges. Meeting these needs has required the profuseuse of illustrations so that misinterpretation would be minimal.
Systema Porifera
Research whilst compiling this book has uncovered a fauna about twice the size as that previously published in the literature and consequently Systema Porifera revises and stabilizes the systematics of the phylum to accommodate this new knowledge in a contemporary framework. Practical tools (key illustrations, descriptions of character) are provided to facilitate the assignment of approximately 680 extant and 100 fossil genera. Systema Porifera is unique making sponge taxonomy widely available at the practical level of classification (genera, families, order). It is a taxonomic revision of sponges and spongiomorphis (such as sphinctozoans and archaeocyathans) based on re-evaluation of type m...
The Marine Fauna of New Zealand
"Glass sponges in the Family Euplectellidae (basket glass sponges) found in the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) are reviewed and revised by studying existing and new collections within the NIWA Invertebrate Collection (NIC), Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (NMNZ) and specimens from the NORFANZ mid-Tasman Sea survey, housed at the Queensland Museum in Brisbane. Studying these collections has yielded well over 250 catalogued specimens, some of which are from the Australian EEZ and International waters"--Page 9.
Ecology and Classification of North American Freshwater Invertebrates
"The third edition of Ecology and Classification of North American Freshwater Invertebrates continues the tradition of in-depth coverage of the biology, ecology, phylogeny, and identification of freshwater invertebrates from the USA and Canada. This text serves as an authoritative single source for a broad coverage of the anatomy, physiology, ecology, and phylogeny of all major groups of invertebrates in inland waters of North America, north of Mexico." --Book Jacket.
New Glass Sponges (Porifera : Hexactinellida) from Deep Waters of the Central Aleutian Islands, Alaska
Hexactinellida from deep-water communities of the central Aleutian Islands, Alaska, are described. They were mostly collected by the remotely operated vehicle 'Jason II' from 494-2311 m depths during a 2004 RV 'Roger Revelle' expedition, but one shallow-water species collected with a shrimp trawl from 155 m in the same area is included. The excellent condition of the ROV-collected specimens enabled valuable redescription of some species previously known only from badly damaged specimens. New taxa include one new genus and eight new species in five families. Farreidae consist of two new species, Farrea aleutiana and F. aspondyla. Euretidae consists of only Pinulasma fistulosum n. gen., n. sp....
