For those of you who want a quick overview and super-summary of ongoing work regarding nearby galaxy clusters like Fornax and Virgo and Coma, here is the 2011 conference on this issue, with downloadable pdf files of the presentations made:

Incidentally, the Fornax Cluster of Galaxies remains the poor cousin of the Virgo Cluster, in terms of the number of papers written about it, and this is as true in 2014 as it was in 2004!
To give just one random example, there has been very little published about NGC 1316 in the last 3 years, despite the fact that it is the 'rosetta stone' which can enable us to decipher the history of a galaxy which has undergone multiple mergers with other galaxies;
for instance, Paul Goudfrooij and colleagues, in the 2001 MNRAS, announced the discovery that NGC 1316 contains a large population of globular clusters that are only 3 billion years old, in comparison to the standard 'old' (9-13 billion years old) globular clusters of familiar galaxies like the Milky Way and M31 and M104 and M87.
While there is a fair degree of data that continues to accumulate about this galaxy, this major evolutionary event is still poorly studied and understood.
There is even an unresolved distance controversy about this important galaxy
(17.8 Megaparsecs vs. 20.8 Megaparsecs; the first of these distances puts it somewhat in the foreground of the Fornax Cluster, while the second of these distances puts it in the Fornax Cluster proper)
The Virgo-Fornax comparison is an important one, as Fornax Cluster is in a much more advanced state of evolution, with its smooth structure, and with its galaxies nearly universally being poor in gas and star formation.
