Description

This Monograph of the <Fauna Ibérica> series is devoted to Phoronida and Brachiopoda and is the first part of the study of Lophophorata, coelomate, bentic, sessile, marine (except the phylactolaemate bryozoans, restricted to freshwater), from the ibero-balearic coasts. Seven phoronid species, included in 2 genera, and 30 brachiopod species included in 21 genera, 14 families, 5 orders and 3 subphyla. Two additional species of Phoronida and 5 of Brachiopoda, found in localities close to the Iberian Peninsula, are also discussed and diagnosed.
The book is illustrated with 80 figures and contains an introductory chapter to Lophophorata, followed by several chapters devoted to the study of Phoronida and Brachiopoda, their systematic position, geographic distribution, morphology and classification, with descriptions and dichotomical identification keys for genera, species, and, in the case of the brachiopods, also for suprageneric taxa.
Also included in this volume are data on the geographical distribution and biology of each species as well as an updated bibliography. The book ends with 4 appendices containing complete taxonomic nomenclature and a list of Phoronida and Brachiopoda on both the coasts of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands (appendices 1 and 2), illustrated keys (in English and Spanish) of species of both groups with representation in the ibero-balearic coasts (appendix 3), and glossary of morphological and anatomical terms (appendix 4).
