Editorials from The Biological Bulletin The following editorials introducing the Marine Models Electronic Record (then referred to as the BB-MMER) appeared in The Biological Bulletin in 1993 and 1994. Please note that some of the information contained in them, such as the URL listed and certain of the instructions to authors, is already outdated. Nevertheless, these editorials can provide a useful overview and general introduction to the objectives and development of the MMER. Greenberg, M.J. (1993).

(December, 1993) An Animal Resources Section and a Marine Models Electronic Record for The Biological Bulletin With the next issue of The Biological Bulletin (February, 1994; Volume 186, Number 1), we inaugurate a new section of the journal devoted to nonmammalian marine organisms that serve, either altogether or in part, as experimental models in basic biological research. Of special interest will be reports on the collection and husbandry of these model organisms, the preparation of their cells or tissues, and research techniques specifically applicable to them. This new animal resources section should help in promoting the use of marine organisms for the study of fundamental problems in biology and, if that goal is fulfilled, it should also make the road easier for the converts. To those ends, the section will: | |
