Biology of Turbellaria and Some Related Flatworms

Turbellaria, the mainly free-living flatworms, and some of their parasitic relatives, are among the simplest of the metazoa and, as such, provide ideal models for a wide range of fundamental studies. The 60 contributions in this text cover areas such as taxonomy and phylogeny, and neurophysiology.

Turbellaria, the mainly free-living flatworms, and some of their parasitic relatives, are among the simplest of the metazoa and, as such, provide ideal models for a wide range of fundamental studies. The 60 contributions in this text cover areas such as: taxonomy and phylogeny; biogeography and genetics; ecology and behaviour; anatomy and ultrastructure; development and regeneration; genes and sequences; and neurophysiology.
