Acknowledgments
No matter how many authors are on the cover, every book is the work of many hands. We would like to thank the many people who made this project possible, starting with the contributions of many students, postdocs, and co-investigators over the years. TB thanks particularly to René Augustin and Sebastian Fraune, who initiated work on innate immunity and host-microbe interactions in Hydra. The work related to this review was supported in part by grants from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and the Clusters of Excellence “The Future Ocean” and “Inflammation at Interfaces” (to TB). DJM gratefully acknowledges the support of the Australian Research Council, both directly and via the ARC Centre of Excellence in Coral Reef Studies, and the unlimited patience of Eldon Ball, a real scholar and remarkable human being.
