Extensive coverage is also devoted to natural history, habitat preference, diet composition, dispersion patterns, mating and hunting behavior, and burrowing activities, as well as diel/seasonal patterns of activity.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Serious problem with the book's production,
This review is from: The Biology of Camel-Spiders (Arachnida, Solifugae) (Hardcover)
A number of this book's figures were copied from various sources and used without ever acknowledging those who had drawn the figures. It is not appropriate to buy a book by an author who presents the work of others as if it were his own.
