► Description: |
Volume 43 is an eclectic volume with
reviews on ecology and biogeography of
marine parasites; fecundity:
characteristics and role in life-history
strategies of marine invertebrates; the
ecology of Southern Ocean Pack-ice; and
biological and remote sensing perspectives
of pigmentation in coral reef organisms.
Advances in Marine Biology was first
published in 1963. Now edited by A.J.
Southward (Marine Biological Association,
UK), P.A. Tyler (Southampton Oceanography
Association, UK), C.M. Young (Harbor

the serial publishes in-depth and
up-to-date reviews on a wide range of
topics which will appeal to postgraduates
and researchers in marine biology,
fisheries science, ecology, zoology,
oceanography. Eclectic volumes in the
series are supplemented by thematic
volumes on such topics as The Biology of
Calanoid Copepods . Key Features * AMB
first published 1963 * This volume
presents a selection of reviews on the
biology of lesser-known taxa of the phylum
Mollusca, including: * The mostly
diminutive protobranch bivalves * The
slug-like shelled opisthobranchs * The
highly specialized and evolutionarily
advanced tusk shells * The beautiful,
priceless, yet frustratingly
hard-to-collect slit shells
