Opis

Crustacean and Arthropod Relationships is a valuable collection of research published by international experts in the field. It addresses the important scientific issues relating to this successful animal phylum. It includes research on evolution and diversification and the latest data on phylogenic research, including metazoan phylogenetics. This book also provides a comparative view of appendage loss and regeneration in arthropods, comparative morphology, and current research on ostracods. It addresses the most recent data on relational DNA and mitochondrial genomics and includes new data on the evolution of eye structure and re-solving the stemlineage of Crustacea.
