This special issue belongs to the section “Marine Biology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Life originated in the sea more than three billion years ago, and has been evolving ever since. Marine invertebrates have long fascinated researchers due to their abundance, diversity, and adaptations. The purpose of this invited Special Issue is to publish the most exciting research with respect to the above subjects, provide a rapid turnaround time regarding reviewing and publishing, and disseminate the articles freely for research, teaching, and reference purposes.
High-quality papers that are directly related to various aspects, as mentioned below, are encouraged for publication. Novel techniques for studies are encouraged.
