Books in the Advances in Crustacean Research series

The papers in this volume have been grouped according to the main sub-themes of the congress and primarily deal with the biodiversity issues of invasive crustacea, ecology and behaviour and fisheries and aquaculture.

Abetted by recent technological advances in scanning and transmission electron microscopy, as well as new preparative methods, these contributions examine crustacean anatomy, demonstrating (or at least inferring) the functions of morphological features. In addition to feeding and grooming, they also

This volume is an outcome of the annual meeting of the crustacean society symposia on Crustacean Issues 2. It examines issues in contemporary carcinology. The volume emphasises on larval and postlarval growth in decapods.

This volume is an outcome of the symposia on the Crustacean Issues in the annual meeting of The Crustacean Society. It examines in depth timely topics at issue in contemporary carcinology. The volume covers studies of growth rate and life history in two of the major categories of crustaceans.

Presents methodological information for research on the diversity and relationships of the decapods. This title provides an overview of understanding of the systematics within select major decapod assemblages, assembling and coding molecular and morphological characters toward an overall decapod phylogeny.

Considers the history of the world of crustacea. Topics covered include the beginning of Portugese carcinology; the development of brachyuran crab tascononry in the Neotropics (1535-1937); reflections on crab research in North America since 1758; and carcinology in classical Japanese works.

A look at isopod systematics and evolution, topics confronted include the influence of genetic and extrachromasomal factors on their population rate and a comparison of different species in different habitats.

The diversity of their body organization and development unmatched by other arthropod groups makes crustaceans well-suited objects for studies dealing with questions at the interface of evolution and development. This book treats various aspects of crustacean 'evo-devo' in a comprehensive way.

This work provides a guide to current research in barnacle evolution. Topics covered include: chemical signals in barnacles; larval settlement; naupliar evidence for cirripede taxonomy and phylogeny; and South American patterns of barnacle distribution.

This text gives an overview of almost all aspects of barnacle biology covering advances made since Charles Darwin to the present day.

From the third international workshop on the subject (U. of Florence, 1997), come 18 papers reviewing the issue of alien crayfish decimating the relatively few native species in European freshwater environments. In a historical and taxonomic context, the initial paper explains why such homogenizatio

This text contains the papers of a meeting on American isopods, the only crustacean group with representatives in all terrestrial ecosystems. It deals with two main subjects: the effects of stressful conditions on the individual animal; and distribution and selection of microhabitat.

This work covers the geographical distribution of Crustaceans with hypotheses on how the distribution took place, based on fossil and recent records.
