AWG Publications

A list of publications by members of the Aspidochirote Working Group. It consists primarily of articles in refereed scientific journals, but includes the occasional book and technical report on the systematics and faunistics of echinoderms, especially holothuroids. Authors who are AWG members or AWG alumni are shown in bold.
