Dear all,
If you haven't already seen it, definitely have a look a the new issue of
the Canadian Journal of Zoology (Vol 84(2) Feb), which is devoted to
Porifera. Thanks to all those who
contributed!
http://pubs.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/cgi-bin/rp/rp2_tocs_e?cjz_cjz2-06_84. PDFs are
available with a subscription, but you can see the list of contributors and
email each of them for a reprint.
I would also like to alert you to a few recent articles that my
collaborators and I have just published (below). Other articles can be
found on my website under Publications:
(http://www.biology.ualberta.ca/faculty/sally_leys/uploads/personal/). For
those interested in reprints please email me at: [log in to unmask]
