Tunicates are curious marine animals that live either attached to the ocean floor or drifting in open water, carried by currents, spending their lives filtering seawater. Who would imagine that these organisms, devoid of heads or legs, are our distant cousins ? This guide addresses the question of their evolutionary relationship, outlines the history of our knowledge, and describes the anatomy, biology, and ecology of tunicates; it also provides detailed, richly illustrated profiles of the species most commonly observed along the coasts of Western Europe.

An essential field guide for all those curious about nature, divers, amateurs or specialists in marine environment.
