Description

More than seventy percent of the earth's surface is covered by ocean - the home to a staggering and sometimes overwhelming diversity of organisms, a majority of which reside in pelagic form.

Marine invertebrate larvae are an integral part of this pelagic diversity and have stimulated the curiosity of researchers for centuries.

This book will provide an important, modern update on the topic of larval ecology, representing the first major synthesis of thisinterdisciplinary field for more than 20 years.

The content will be structured around four major areas: evolutionary origins and transitions in developmental mode; functional morphology and ecology of larval forms; larval transport, settlement, and metamorphosis; climate change and larval ecology at theextremes.

This novel synthesis will integrate traditional larval ecology with life history theory, evolutionary developmental biology, and modern genomics research.
