Pauly, D. (Daniel) Publisher: Cambridge University Press Cambridge, UK , New York Date Published: 2004 Language: English Format College Electronic Book | An encyclopedia of ichthyology, ecology, and evolution. Subjects: Darwin, Charles, 1809-1882--Knowledge--Ichthyology--Encyclopedias. Note By Author: Biologists, even ichthyologists, are usually surprised when they discover how much Charles Darwin ('CD') wrote about fish: with regards to specific groups of organisms, it is mainly CD's work on barnacles, orchids and earthworm which is known. The forum available on this web site, complementing my book on Darwin's Fishes, and the Reverend L. Jenyns' book on the fish collected by CD during the voyage of the Beagle (supplied below in a version closely linked with FishBase), is thus to enable colleagues to catch up on this, and to discuss CD's ichthyological work, and related issues in evolution and ecology.
