Download or read book Fossil and Recent Sponges written by Joachim Reitner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fossil and Recent Sponges contains articles on taxonomic, phylogenetic and ecological aspects of sponges of both biological and paleontological interest. They focus on three main topics: phylogeny and systematics, biology, and paleoecology of sponges. The reader is offered an overview over the most important aspects of current sponge research: - establishment of a new taxonomy based on mono phyletic groups (phylogenetic systematics) including recent and fossil taxa - new concepts of the biomineralisation of sponge skeletons - palaeoenvironmental analysis of fossil sponge buildups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponges are possibly the world’s oldest animals. Their ability to survive and adapt in their surroundings is truly astounding, as is the fact that they’ve been on Earth for over 700 million years. This scientific guide covers the wild world of sponges, including their life cycles, feeding behavior, and more. Fact boxes provide quick, interesting facts, while a glossary and index complete a comprehensive reading experience. Colorful images take readers on a visual journey through sponge habitats, where there’s always something new to explore.

This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Monograph of the British Fossil Sponges, Vol. 1: Sponges of Palæozoic and Jurassic Strata Though Fossil Sponges are mentioned in some of the earliest works in which fossils are treated of, and descriptions of them appear in nearly all subsequent works on palæontology, their true characters, until a comparatively recent date, were completely misunderstood, and their history was a mass of hopeless confusion. In the absence of any clear ideas as to the real nature of these organisms, the most heterogeneous materials were relegated to the group, and indeed it might be said to have been the practice - not altogether obsolete even now - to regard as a Sponge any fossil whose structure was too obscure to be satisfactorily placed elsewhere. One of the principal reasons for the chaos which existed was the erroneous idea, enunciated more particularly by D'Orbigny and Fromentel, that fossil Sponges belonged to an entirely extinct group, of a different nature to those now living, and consequently that no clue could be obtained to their original structures by a comparison with those of living forms. Acting on this mistaken idea, those who studied the fossil forms did not attempt to carry out a systematic investigation of their skeletal structures, like that which had been so successfully applied to existing Sponges, but they were content to limit their investigations to the external form and the superficial canal structures, features possessed in common by many Sponges whose skeletal characters are essentially diverse. The classification thus based, was for the most part valueless and misleading. Here and there observers were not wanting who noticed the importance of the skeletal structures of these fossils, and amongst these Etallon deserves special mention; but no thorough attempt was made to apply the principle of the character of the skeleton, as the basis of classification, until that successfully carried out by Professor Zittel in 1877-78.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atlas of Marine Invertebrate Larvae, Second Edition covers the origins and history of marine larval science, contemporary state-of-the-art approaches to larval development and biology, and the highest-quality images and schematics showing the broadest diversity of marine larvae in the animal tree of life. This book illustrates larval body plans, the anatomy of their organ systems (muscular, sensory, digestive), including distinct ciliation patterns that facilitate swimming, and the complex metamorphic changes they undergo between different larval and growth stages. Each chapter contains in-text references that direct readers to both historical and contemporary research on the forms, functions, behaviors and biogeographical distributions of marine larvae. This book is a valuable and foundational resource for biologists across various disciplines, including biodiversity, biogeography, and developmental biology. Ecologists, taxonomists, oceanographers, and environmental scientists also benefit from the complete coverage of marine larval forms offered by this book. Additionally, the broad scope and phyletic coverage of marine biodiversity presented in this atlas is ideal for students in oceanography and marine biology, animal development, biological oceanography and invertebrate zoology.

Download or read book Systema Porifera written by John N.A. Hooper and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1779 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research whilst compiling this book has uncovered a fauna about twice the size as that previously published in the literature and consequently Systema Porifera revises and stabilizes the systematics of the phylum to accommodate this new knowledge in a contemporary framework. Practical tools (key illustrations, descriptions of character) are provided to facilitate the assignment of approximately 680 extant and 100 fossil genera. Systema Porifera is unique making sponge taxonomy widely available at the practical level of classification (genera, families, order). It is a taxonomic revision of sponges and spongiomorphis (such as sphinctozoans and archaeocyathans) based on re-evaluation of type materials and evidence. It is also a practical guide to sponge identification providing descriptions and illustrations of characters and interpretation of their importance to systematics. Systema Porifera addresses many long standing nomenclatural problems and provides a sound baseline for future debate on sponges and their place in time and space. Systema Porifera describes 3 classes, 7 subclasses, 24 orders, 127 families and 682 valid genera of extant sponges (with over 1600 nominal generic names and an additional 500 invalid names treated). Treatment of the fossil fauna is less comprehensive or critical, although 6 classes, 30 orders, 245 families and 998 fossil genera are mentioned. Keys to all recent and many fossil taxa are provided.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Fossil Sponges in the Geological Department of the British Museum: Natural History; With Description of New and Litlle-Known Species; Illustrated by 38 Lithographic Plates In submitting the accompanying Monograph to the scientific public, I feel assured that the careful and conscientious manner in which Dr. Hinde has performed the very arduous task entrusted to him will meet with the well-earned recognition of all those who consult this work. The earlier methods of classification of both the recent and fossil Spongidæ by their external form and habit of growth having been thoroughly tested and proved to be unreliable, the only sure method to be pursued - that of classifying them according to their intimate microscopic structure - has been adopted by Dr. Hinde, who, himself a pupil of the distinguished palæontologist Prof Dr. Karl Zittel of Munich (one of our highest authorities in this class of organisms), has followed patiently the careful methods of research set forth in the 'Beitrage zur Systematik der fossilen Spongien' and other of Zittel's works. It is no small gratification to know that the determination of this very difficult group of fossil organisms has now been so far completed, and that the types of those species not heretofore described are now all carefully figured in the Plates accompanying this Monograph, and the original specimens are preserved in the British Museum of Natural History.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Fossil Sponges in the Geological Department of the British Museum: Natural History; With Description of New and Litlle-Known Species; Illustrated by 38 Lithographic Plates In a few instances I have described species of which the Museum does not at present possess any examples; but these forms will be found in the Museum of Practical Geology in Jermyn Street, and were kindly lent for examination by Prof. Archibald Geikie, LL.D., F. R.s. The illustrations of the minute structure will, in some cases, appear defective - a result due, not to any lack of ability on the part of the artist, but to difficulties arising from the state of preservation of the fossils themselves. In all cases the endeavour has been to delineate the structure in its present condition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
