Oniscids are wonderful model organisms for studies addressing more general biological questions, and they arguably demonstrate the best evolutionary progression in any extant group of organisms. Their unique properties as terrestrial crustaceans living in a wide range of habitats from coast to desert offer great advantages to study physiological and behavioural adaptations, ecological, phylogenetic, and biogeographical patterns, and evolutionary processes. This volume contains contributions, which were presented at the 5th International Symposium on the Biology of Terrestrial Isopods...

This guide represents a compilation of the available descriptions of the zoeal and megalopal stages of anomuran and brachyuran crabs of North Carolina, USA. Descriptions and keys for the zoeae of 44 species and the megalopae of 34 species are included.

Though the subterranean waters are among the most fragile and threatened ecosystems, and are also considered to be rich in biodiversity, there is very little information even on their total biological diversity. Presenting one group of small crustaceans, this book shows how rich and complex subterranean systems may be even in Australian desert regions. This is the first comprehensive study of the subterranean copepods from Australia. It contains descriptions of five new genera and 24 new species. Many representatives of this unique fauna are of ancient origin, dating as far back as Jurassic....

This book deals with a large number of deep-sea taxa of Tanaidacea from the Gulf of Mexico, primarily collected during the Deep Gulf of Mexico Benthos Study and the North Gulf of Mexico Continental Shelf Study. Four new genera, Aramaturatanais, Caudalonga, Insociabilitanais, and Pseudoarthrura are described. Twenty-one new species belonging to those new genera and to Anarthruropsis, Araphura, Araphuroides, Chauliopleona, Filitanais, Leptognathia, Leptognathiella, Leviapseudes, Meromonakantha, Paragathotanais, Paranarthrura, Robustochelia, and Stenotanais are...

In this work, the composition of the superfamily Callianassoidea is reassessed and the classification of its included taxa is critically reviewed. The material examined mainly originates from the collections of the Zoological Museum of the University of Copenhagen, and comprises samples from the Galathea Expedition 1950-1952, Dr. Th. Mortensen's expeditions, including the Java-South African Expedition 1929-1930, and Dr. G. Thorson's Persian expedition. In all, three of the possibly five families currently incorporated in the Callianassoidea, i.e., Callianassidae, Gourretiidae, and...

The classification of the family Upogebiidae is critically reviewed. The material examined mainly originates from the collections of the Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Frankfurt/M, and the Zoological Museum of the University of Copenhagen. In all, two subfamilies, 11 genera and 157 species are represented.

Copepods are top predators in the interstitial ecosystems and this book offers the first data about two large orders from the Australian marine interstitial. This exciting fauna abounds in new taxa, and this helped the author to recognize new zoogeographic regions in Australia.

The monograph describes the Candoninae fauna of the Pilbara region, containing 84 species and 12 genera, of which 83 species and 11 genera are endemic. This ancient fauna holds one of the most important clues about the evolution of the subfamily.

The first monograph to compile observations about the post-embryonic development of the morphologically and ecologically diverse subclass Copepoda. Analyses provide insights into the correspondence of developmental stages among species, architecture of the naupliar body, and patterning of copepodid body and limbs.
