The Biology of Millipedes, Hardback Book

Hardback

Description

Millipedes are common components of the leaf-litter fauna of most terrestrial environments.

The Biology of Millipedes is the first single-volume review of this important group and covers their ecology, behaviour, physiology, and evolution.

This book is essential reading for terrestrial ecologists, zoologists, and students taking courses in invertebrate biology. Introductory chapters consider millipede taxonomy and phylogeny, basic anatomy, locomotion, and ecomorphology.

Later chapters review feeding and digestion, metabolism, nerves, and neurosecretion, together with all aspects of millipedes in decomposition processes, and their role as pests.

The authors provide an extremely comprehensive bibliography of research papers and literature.
