Dear Martina and Tunicata enthusiasts,
The Canadian Journal of Zoology is publishing a special issue in 2005 on
the protochordates. All the papers have been reviewed, revised and accepted
now I believe, and are officially In Press. I do not know what month the
issue will appear though. The issue will be quite comprehensive, covering
development, immune system, hormones, neurobiology, ecology and natural
history, molecular phylogeny, larval biomechanics, feeding. It will cover
ascidians, hemichordates, amphioxus, planktonic Tunicata.
Best wishes, Gretchen Lambert
