Holy Grail for C.Tubercultus research

This study on Caribbean chiton was so useful in my chiton study I feel inclined to kiss and hug this man if I ever meet him. The reference page alone is worth looking at for anyone trying to study chiton.

Holy Grail of Caribbean/Bermudian Chiton

Chiton Anatomy

If you would like to learn a disturbing amount of information on the life cycle of a chiton and its anatomy and physiology please click on the site below. I have read it and I have not been the same since....

More than one should ever know about Chiton

Chiton Comprehensive Study

This PDF file offers a comprehensive study on chiton. It's a excellent primer for anyone interested in chiton!

Tide Pool Etiquette

If you are studying tide pools you should learn the proper way to interact with a tide pool. The basic of tide pool etiquette is to interfere as little as possible with the natural order of the pool.

Because, your mother would be proud.

Tide Pool Food Web

Here is a link to a very basic tide pool food web, it helps to put tide pool predator-prey relationships in perspective. It's simple format is a plus.
