Excerpt from Revision of the Balanomorph Barnacles: Including a Catalog of the Species
The primary data base for this work was, quite naturally, the literature, and we have cited virtually all that was available to us. Much of the contemporary literature was made available as reprints by authors and others, and we thank them for their generosity. A large portion, however, came from various university and museum libraries, over many years, through direct borrowing and interlibrary loans. Librarians involved are too numerous to mention individually, but we thank them, known and unknown to us, for their services.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive exploration of the Cirripedia, a diverse and widespread subclass of crustaceans. These creatures, commonly known as barnacles, have been studied and classified since the work of Darwin. The author, an expert on this group, provides a historical overview of barnacle studies while presenting a revised classification system based on the latest findings. This new system is based on an examination of shell morphology and an analysis of the soft part anatomy and appendages. Beyond a taxonomic revision, this book presents detailed insights into the evolution and diversification of barnacles. The author traces their origins from free-living ancestors and discusses how various lineages adapted to different habitats, including deep-sea environments and symbiotic relationships with other organisms. This significant work offers a valuable resource for researchers and students studying the Cirripedia and provides a comprehensive understanding of the diversity and evolution of this fascinating group of animals.
