Systema Porifera. A Guide to the Classification of Sponges

  • Chapter
Systema Porifera

Abstract

Why write a book on sponge taxonomy; who would read such a book; what is the relevance of sponges; and what are sponges anyway?

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants” (Sir Isaac Newton, 1676 [Turnbull et al., 1959])
