Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive survey of the present-day crinoids, a lesser-known class of marine organisms. While the historical record of crinoids is extensive, they are rarely studied in depth alongside their scientifically more popular echinoderm cousins, the starfish, sea urchins, or sea cucumbers. However, based upon extensive recent research and incorporating insights from across diverse scientific fields, this work brings forth a fascinating new perspective on this ancient class of creatures. The author challenges long-held assumptions about crinoid decline, revealing their surprising abundance and diversity in today's oceans. Their biology is discussed in rich detail, including their unique morphologies, evolutionary relationships with other echinoderms, and their impact on the marine environments they inhabit. By shedding light on their remarkable adaptability and ecological importance, the author invites readers to reconsider the ecological significance of crinoids and prompts a reassessment of their role in marine ecosystems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
