Dorothy M. Skinner's interest in the study of crustaceans grew out of her experiences as a student and teaching assistant in the Experimental Invertebrate Zoology course at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA. Her early training in both biology and chemistry was instrumental in allowing her to pursue lines of research as diverse as control of molting and regeneration, structure of the crustacean integument, and characteristics of satellite DNAs throughout her career. Dorothy published a number of landmark papers in crustacean biology over the years, which served to inspire the work of numerous biologists. The breadth and depth of her contributions was made apparent in this symposium, in which eleven researchers presented their newest findings in the areas of satellite DNA, control of regeneration and molting, dynamics of muscle atrophy and reorganization, and structure and evolution of arthropod proteins.
