The first three chapters deal with the chemistry and function of marine-derived peptides. Two chapters deal with ecological topics: epibiosis and feeding behavior. The final chapter is an account of the twenty-year bryostatin-1 saga and makes fascinating and instructive reading. Contents/Information: C.M. Ireland, T.F. Molinski, D.M. Roll, T.M. Zabriskie, T.C.
