Excerpt from Studies of the Development and Larval Forms of Echinoderms
Ever since Joh. Müller about seventy years ago published his celebrated studies on the Echinoderm larvæ, showing such unexpected richness of forms to exist among them and making known in the main features their wonderful metamorphosis, those larvæ have been among the favourite objects of zoological research. The study of the larval forms themselves, the differentiation of the original simple larval type into the many highly specialized or even quite extreme forms (e.g. Auricularia nudibranchiata or Echinopluteus transversus), tracing the morphological transformation of the different parts of the larval body (so masterly done already by Joh. Müller) or of the supporting skeleton makes in itself quite a fascinating subject. The metamorphosis of the bilateral, free-swimming larva into the radial, more or less sedentary, adult - a metamorphosis no less striking than that of a caterpillar into a butterfly (indeed, the Kchinoderm metamorphosis has been characterized as the most remarkable ontogenetic change in the animal kingdom) - presents a number of interesting problems. Then the Echinoderm larvæ have proved to be exceptionally good objects for experimental embryological studies, for experimental hybridization and for heredity studies. No wonder that an extensive litterature has arisen on forms presenting so many points of interest.
The significance of the pelagic larvæ for the study of geographical distribution was pointed out in the author's work ..Die Echinodermenlarven der Plankton-Expedition" (1898. p. 108), and this was in the author's mind when, speaking of the relation between the East African and the West Indian Echinoid fauna), the desirability of studying the development of the forms common to both regions, as, upon the whole, that of tropical Echinoderms in general, was emphasized, this being almost a terra incognita, ,,an ample field of most promising research."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents groundbreaking insights into the development and larval forms of echinoderms, a group of marine invertebrates that includes sea urchins, starfish, and sea cucumbers. The author, an experienced researcher, undertook extensive fieldwork to gather data on these creatures, resulting in a comprehensive analysis of their biology, morphology, phylogeny, and geographical distribution. Through meticulous observations and experiments, the author sheds light on the intricate metamorphosis and remarkable adaptability of echinoderms. The work challenges some established classifications and highlights the significance of larval forms in understanding their evolutionary relationships. This accessible and captivating book provides a valuable resource for marine biologists, zoologists, and anyone interested in the captivating world of echinoderms.
