About This Book

A comprehensive natural-history overview describes crustacean anatomy (using a lobster as an exemplar), classification, and the sequence of metamorphoses and larval stages. It surveys ecological diversity from shore, deep-sea, and pelagic plankton to freshwater and terrestrial forms, and treats parasitic and commensal relationships. Human interactions such as harvesting and uses, together with fossil evidence and evolutionary considerations, are discussed. Practical guidance on collecting and preserving specimens accompanies numerous plates and figures that illustrate morphology, development, and representative taxa.
