Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book's third installment in a series, catalogs and describes the Alcyonaria, a diverse group of reef-building corals, found in the Indian Ocean. The author, a celebrated zoologist, presents a detailed scientific record of the many species that were collected from the Maldives and neighboring Minikoi. The author has applied his expertise to describe both previously known and yet undescribed species, adding to our understanding of the classification, distribution, and biology of the Alcyonaria. Chapters include meticulous anatomical drawings and descriptions of each species' morphological features, including spicules, polyps, and the internal structure of their skeletons. Furthermore, the author examines the various methods of branching, reproduction, and other biological processes that occur across the different species. This book not only documents the diverse Alcyonarian life in the Indian Ocean but also provides insights into the evolutionary relationships and ecological significance of these fascinating creatures within the broader context of coral reef ecosystems.
