Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of Anthozoa, a group of marine animals commonly known as corals and sea anemones. The author begins with the earliest scientific observations of these creatures in the works of Aristotle, Dioscorides, and Pliny the Elder. He then follows the development of Anthozoan taxonomy and classification from the 16th century onwards, culminating in Ehrenberg's establishment of the Anthozoa as a distinct animal group in 1834. The book also explores the long-running scientific debate over the nature of corals, which were once believed to be plants or minerals. Along the way, the author discusses the contributions of key figures in the history of Anthozoan research, including Peyssonnel, RÃ aumur, Ellis, Cavolini, and Lamarck. The book concludes by examining the significance of Anthozoan studies for our understanding of marine ecosystems and the history of life on Earth.
