"Report on the Radiolaria Collected by H.M.S. Challenger During the Years 1873-76" by Ernst Haeckel is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book presents a detailed examination of Radiolaria, a group of microscopic marine organisms, analyzing their morphology, classification, and ecological significance as revealed through the findings of the H.M.S. Challenger expedition. The opening of this comprehensive report sets the stage for an extensive investigation into Radiolaria, expressing
Haeckel's realization of the immense variety and complexity of these organisms over the ten years he devoted to this study. It discusses the methodology employed for collecting and examining samples from deep ocean waters, emphasizing the significance of Radiolaria in understanding oceanic life. Haeckel outlines his initial expectations and acknowledges the challenges he faced, ultimately presenting a thorough account of over 4,300 species and emphasizing the rich variety within Radiolaria, while highlighting the interplay between their life cycles and environmental factors.
