Opis

This book focuses on these unique crustaceans endemic to South America and is the first to summarize the diverse aspects of the Aeglidae. It will appeal not only to carcinologists working with this family of decapods, but also readers interested in the evolution, biogeography, taxonomy, phylogenetics, physiology, and reproductive ecology.
