Review Global Diversity of the Stylasteridae (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa: Athecatae)
The history and rate of discovery of the 247 valid Recent stylasterid species are discussed and graphed, with emphasis on five historical pulses of species descriptions. A table listing all genera, their species numbers, and their bathymetric ranges are presented. The number of species in 19 oceanog...
