Advances in Polychaete Research

In July 2001 experts from all around the world met in Reykjavik, Iceland, to discuss various issues of polychaete biology. In particular the latest developments in cladistic inference of polychaete phylogeny were presented. Some studies applied recent molecular techniques, revealing unknown genetic relationships between the different families of polychaetous annelids. This volume should be of interest to specialists and students seeking an introduction to the latest developments in the field of systematics and ecology of polychaetous annelids. The book is one in a series presenting results from the International Polychaete conferences.
