ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
sponges, Louis van der Laan (Institute for Systematics and Population Biology, University of Amsterdam) for skillfully preparing the black and white
photographs in this book, Christopher Lowe (Delft University of Technology) for his collaboration in the lattice Boltzmann simulations, and Mario
de Kluijver (Institute for Systematics and Population Biology, University of
Amsterdam) for his collaboration in the transplantation experiments with
the sponges . J.E.N. (Charlie) Veron (Australian Institute of Marine Sciences)
kindly permitted use of the photographs of Pocillopora damicornis shown in
Fig. 1.1.
The authors would like to thank Robert Belleman, Kamil Iskra, Rafael
Garcia Leiva, Frank Lakeman, Nico Rozemeijer, Hans Ragas (University of
Amsterdam, Section Computational Science) for their assistance in creating
many of the color pictures shown in Chapters 3 and 4, and Benno Overeinder
(University of Amsterdam, Section Computational Science) for all his help
during the preparation of the manuscript. Sean Spicer (Stanford University)
kindly permitted us to use his software for producing the volume renderings
shown in Fig. 3-17. Figure 2.4 was reprinted with permission of the Journal
of Phycology. Eshel Ben-Jacob (School of Physics and Astronomy, Tel Aviv
University) and Inon Cohen (School of Mathematical Sciences, TelAvivUniversity) kindly permitted us to use a picture of a Paenibacillus dendritiformis
colony (see Fig. i.sa), Wewant to thank Sarita Ingalsuo-Kaandorp for her help
in preparing several of the pictures. Without her support and her patience,
at least the first author could never have written this book.
Wewould like to thank all contributors and we hope these collaborations
may result in many new research projects on modeling the growth and form
of marine sessile organisms. We want to thank Hans Wossner and Ingeborg
Mayer from Springer-Verlag for their pleasant cooperation. Wewish to thank
the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in Santa Barbara
(California) for supporting the workshop on "Modeling Growth and Form of
Marine Sessile Organisms" in August 1999 in Santa Barbara and their support
during the writing of this book. Please note that quicktime movies, related
to the topics discussed in this book, are made available at the homepage of
one of the authors (http://www.science.uva.nll-jaapkl).
