Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive catalogue of all known living ophiurans, a group of marine animals closely related to starfish. The catalogue was compiled by a leading authority on the subject, drawing upon the vast collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College, which boasts more than half of all known species. The author provides detailed descriptions of over 750 species, including 53 new discoveries based on the museum's collection, many of which were gathered during a recent expedition to Australia. This work represents a significant contribution to the field of marine biology, building upon the pioneering work of Theodore Lyman, whose 1865 catalogue of ophiurans marked the beginning of a rich history of research on these fascinating creatures. The author also explores the complex phylogenetic relationships of these animals, highlighting the need for further investigation into their intricate evolutionary history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the classification, identification, and evolution of this unique group of marine invertebrates. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
