Description
Illustrated with hundreds of colour figures, Biology and Evolution of the Mollusca [2-volume set] reviews molluscan biology, genomics, anatomy, physiology, fossil history, phylogeny and classification. It includes general chapters drawn from extensive and diverse literature on the anatomy and physiology of their structure, movement, reproduction, feeding, digestion, excretion, respiration, nervous system and sense organs. Other chapters review the natural history (including ecology) of molluscs, their interactions with humans, and assess research on the group. This resource provides the first comprehensive account of the Mollusca in decades. This resource summarises research activity and suggests future directions for investigation. Winston F Ponder has published extensively over the last 55 years on the systematics, evolution, biology and conservation of marine and freshwater molluscs, as well as supervised post graduate students and run university courses; David R. Lindberg has conducted research on the evolutionary history of marine organisms and their habitats on the rocky shores of the Pacific Rim for more than 40 years. 1,815 p.
