 Aim

This site contains authoritative information about the echinoderm class Ophiuroidea (brittle stars and basket stars) for the general public and fellow researchers. The focus of this site lies primarily with taxonomy and phylogeny, but general biology and ecology are included when appropriate. At present, taxon names are automatically linked to various types of information on external sites all over the internet. Please, feel free to explore. For an up-to-date authoritative taxonomy please visit the World Ophiuroidea database at http://www.marinespecies.org/ophiuroidea
