Reviews

This series forms a reference work in the truest sense, one that will be referred to frequently for many years to come. The whole series would be an excellent addition to a reference library; these individual volumes are essential for anyone involved in research on the neurobiology or physiology of crustaceans, or indeed, other invertebrates. Adrian J. Wolstenholme, Invertebrate Neuroscience

This volume is a luminous compendium documenting our progress toward understanding important issues in several scientific arenas. In addition to being a timely review by a broad spectrum of scientists, this will be an excellent resource for teachers, and uninitiated novices as well as professional crustacean biologists. It will become an indispensable resource in the scientific community. Carl L.
