The significance of molecular approaches in comparative biology and the rapid emergence of new molecular tools are truly remarkable. Despite the remarkable strides made in molecular research, there remains a pressing need to comprehend the evolution and fundamental biology of entire organisms. Intensive international endeavors to nurture the next generation of experimental biologists must encompass both cutting-edge molecular techniques and traditional organismal biology. This comprehensive book offers insightful chapters on the expanding roster of marine model organisms, which have become an indispensable prerequisite for modern education of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers engaged in marine model systems.

Model organisms, far from being mere tools, serve as vital bridges between diverse fields, spanning from behavior, development, physiology, and functional genomics. This book provides deep insights into the cutting-edge realm of model system science, offering comprehensive overviews of all prominent marine model organisms. It also illustrates challenging experimental approaches employed in model system research, serving as a valuable reference book for next-generation functional genomics applications. Moreover, it addresses an urgent need for students, researchers, and practitioners alike.
