Book Description

Members of the family Littorinidae are among the most widely studied gastropod molluscs and the more questions we answer about this group, the more questions are inevitably posed. Littorinid research spans diverse disciplines, from molecular biology, physiology, ecology, systematics and evolutionary biology to elegant anatomical studies. The papers n this volume reflect the current research being carried out on littorinids, and fall into three broad themes: systematics, ecology, and pollution studies. This book is primarily targeted at the research level, while providing useful information for advanced first-degree students conducting research projects.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`Especially valuable for insights provided on innovative applications of recent advances in biological research techniques. As such, an important book for researchers in other molluscan genera and other marine invertebrates.' Northeastern Naturalist, 6:3 (2000)
