50 years of turbellarian research A brief biography of Tor G. Karling

  • Conference paper
The Biology of the Turbellaria

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 6))

Abstract

This third international symposium on the biology of the Turbellaria is held in honour of Professor Tor G. Karling. He is a very experienced person within the field, having now worked for half a century with morphological, taxonomical, systematic and other problems of the Turbellaria, and we are happy to find him here, taking part in the symposium.
