Phylogeny and Evolution of the Mollusca

Zusatztext "The book has been carefully edited and is rich in high-quality figures. . . . A standard reference for evolutionary ecologists over the next decade." Informationen zum Autor Winston F. Ponder is an Honorary Fellow at the Australian Museum in Sydney! Australia! from where he recently retired after a long career as a research scientist specializing on molluscs. David R. Lindberg is Professor of Integrative Biology at the University of California! Berkeley! and Curator for the University of California Museum of Paleontology. He is also coeditor of Molecular Systematics and Phylogeography of Mollusks. Klappentext "Ponder and Lindberg provides a breathtaking overview of the evolutionary history of the Mollusca! effectively melding information from anatomy! ecology! genomics! and paleobiology to explore the depths of molluscan phylogeny. Its outstanding success is due to thoughtful planning! focused complementary contributions from 36 expert authors! and careful editing. This volume is a must for malacologists."-Bruce Runnegar! Department of Earth and Space Sciences! University of California! Los Angeles "Our understanding of the phylogeny and evolutionary history of the mollusca has been revolutionized over the past two decades through new molecular data and analysis! and reinvestigation of morphological characters. In this volume Ponder! Lindberg! and their colleagues do a wonderful job of integrating this work to provide new perspectives on the relationships of the major molluscan clades! their evolutionary dynamics! and their history.

Zusammenfassung
Mollusca, the second largest animal phylum that boasts a fossil record of over 540 million years, includes the bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods. This study treats each taxon and supplies information as well as overviews of its evolution and phylogeny using data from morphological, ultrastructural, molecular, developmental, and fossil records.
