"Few
groups of organisms hold such a fascination for evolutionary biologists as the Volvocales.
It is almost as if these algae were designed to exemplify the process of
evolution" (Bell 1985)
This project is designed
as a common effort among scientists with interests in
Volvocales who wish to share information, data, images,
publications. The site provides
information about research themes/projects, labs, databases, and other
research tools of interest to
the
Volvocales community. The website has
also sections on Volvocales ecology and life-history, phylogeny,
and it has recently been enhanced with a
wiki (Volvocales
wiki). When available, PDF files of publications are
posted.
If you have information you would like
to share, please contact
Aurora Nedelcu at
anedelcu@unb.ca.
