Description
Aeglidae focuses on these unique crustaceans who are endemic to South America.
The book is the first to summarize the diverse aspects of the Aeglidae, whose taxonomic features and phylogenetic relationships, evolutionary history and biogeographical background, biological characteristics, and current conservation awareness make them stand out among all other decapods.
Addresses the morphology, taxonomy, and phylogenetics that characterize the Aegla and their relationship to other decapod taxaProvides in-depth treatment of the evolutionary history, biogeography, reproduction, developmental biology, and the life cycle of the AeglidaeDiscusses their physiology, ecology and behavior, including physiological mechanisms associated with freshwater adaptation, population dynamics, trophic ecology, agonistic and non-agonistic behaviorCovers the current conservation status of all known species of aeglids, major threats to them, the use of aeglids as flagships or umbrella species, and conservation action planningEdited by internationally distinguished leaders in this field. This will be an important reference not only for carcinologists working with this family of decapods, but also readers interested in the evolution, biogeography, taxonomy, phylogenetics, physiology, and reproductive ecology.
