Echinoderm research 1995

This volume, the result of a meeting held to honour the retirement of Professor David Nichols, demonstrates the wide range of echinoderm research, from molecular genetics to palaeontology, in progress today. Many of the papers are on research themes in which David Nichols was a pioneer and is now an acknowledged authority. Few of the authors have not been influenced by his contribution to Science over recent years. We present this diverse collection of papers as a small testimonial to David's influence and contribution to Echinoderm Biology.
