  • Description: The following three chapters can be regarded as thematic complexes of studies on phenotypic variations and variability in order to elucidate their origins on a systematic hierarchy-level in echinoids. Chapter 2 seeks systematically valuable characters in the microstructure of recent atelostomate echinoids (Spatangoida, Holasteroida). Within the last 145 Myr years, the atelostomate group of echinoids has become an important component of the marine benthos. Systematic studies within this echinoid group are predominantly based on test morphology (Kroh & Smith, 2010). An important feature of ec...
