Inhaltsangabe

The Atlas of Marine Invertebrate Larvae is the most comprehensive guide to larval form and anatomy ever produced. Each chapter provides a
referenced overview of life cycles, reproduction, embryology, larval life, larval form and metamorphosis in a particular group of invertebrates. More than 1200 drawings and photographs illustrate the gross anatomy of all
known types of marine larvae and provide a visual survey of the range of larval diversity within each phylum. Most of the plates, which include some color photographs and numerous scanning electron micrographs, are original. However, the book also assembles into one place many of the
best larval photographs previously published in the scientific literature.
More than 50 recognized authorities on larval development from throughout the world contributed chapters and illustrative material.

Key Features
* Provides glossy photographs of all known types of marine invertebrate larvae in a single reference
* Includes juvenile forms, paralarvae, etc. of several groups with direct development
* Illustrates metamorphosis from larval to juvenile form for most groups
* Provides brief synopses of life history biology, larval development, embryology, and metamorphosis
* Provides key references to review articles and classic works

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Craig Young is Professor of Biology at the University of Oregon, and past Director of the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology. Dr. Young has devoted his professional career to investigating the reproduction and early life-history stages of marine benthic invertebrates at all depths of the sea, and his lab pioneered the culture of larvae from deep-sea environments worldwide. Dr. Young, the founding editor of Atlas of Marine Invertebrate Larvae, returns to the second edition as co-editor.

Mary A. Sewell is a Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. She is an authority on the larval form, physiology, and ecology of echinoderms, with research on species from the tropics to the Antarctic and from the intertidal to abyssal depths. Dr. Sewell returns to the second edition of Atlas of Marine Invertebrate Larvae as associate editor.
