Echinoderms in a changing world : proceedings of the 13th International Echinoderm Conference, University of Tasmania, Hobart Tasmania, Australia, January 5-9 2009 /
Echinoderms are an ancient and diverse group of marine animals with a rich fossil record. They occur abundantly in all modern oceans and at all depths, where they contribute importantly to patterns in biodiversity and to the structure and functioning of marine systems. It is therefore vital to unde...
