Description

Book Synopsis
Mollusca, the second largest animal phylum that boasts a fossil record of over 540 million years, includes the bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods. This study treats each taxon and supplies information as well as overviews of its evolution and phylogeny using data from morphological, ultrastructural, molecular, developmental, and fossil records.

Trade Review
"Provides an updated collation badly needed... Makes exciting reading, all the more so because in providing overviews of work in progress it reflects divergent opinions." Science (AAAS) "[Will] serve as standard reference for evolutionary ecologists over the next decade." Marine Ecology "This book is a must-have for researchers studying molluscan (or even invertebrate) evolution. It includes an incredible amount of useful information, all of which is well-referenced." Bulletin Of Marine Science "The book has been carefully edited and is rich in high-quality figures... A standard reference for evolutionary ecologists over the next decade." -- Martin Zuschin Marine Ecology
