 | Biology of the Antarctic Seas II The volume is arranged to bring together papers that complement one another, either by reason of supporting data or through regional association. There is another advantage to this order: the first four contributions are largely concerned with phenomena, whereas the last three emphasize systematics. Contribution number five provides a balance between these general areas of research. Thus, although each study is distinct and independent of the others, the subject materials are interrelated and provide a common fund of information on Antarctic marine environments and their organisms. The eight papers in this volume of the Antarctic Research Series comprise a second collection of marine biological studies to appear under the title Biology of the Antarctic Seas. The work was conducted at Stanford University, Texas A&M University, Columbia University, the University of Southern California, and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science under the auspices of the United States Antarctic Research Program of the National Science Foundation. George A. Llano is the editor of Biology of the Antarctic Seas II, published by Wiley. |
