Hardback. 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. Editor(s): Ponder, Winston; Lindberg, David R. Num Pages: 488 pages, 42 b/w photographs, 78 line illustrations, 20 tables. BIC Classification: PSVT3. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational.

Brought together by Winston F. Ponder and David R. Lindberg, thirty-six experts on the evolution of the Mollusca provide an up-to-date review of its evolutionary history. The Mollusca are the second largest animal phylum and boast a fossil record of over 540 million years. They exhibit remarkable anatomical diversity and include the bivalves (scallops, oysters, and clams), gastropods (limpets, snails, and slugs), and cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish, and octopus). This study treats each major taxon and supplies general information as well as overviews of evolution and phylogeny using data from different sources - morphological, ultrastructural, molecular, developmental, and from the fossil ...

Reviews for Phylogeny and Evolution of the Mollusca
"Provides an updated collation badly needed... Makes exciting reading, all the more so because in providing overviews of work in progress it reflects divergent opinions." Science (AAAS) "[Will] serve as standard reference for evolutionary ecologists over the next decade." Marine Ecology "This book is a must-have for researchers studying molluscan (or even invertebrate) evolution. It includes an incredible amount of ... Read more
