About This Book

This volume offers a systematic survey of molluscs and brachiopods, combining modern classifications with detailed accounts of anatomy, physiology, reproduction, development, and shell structure. It treats behaviour, habitats, enemies, mimicry, parasitism, and economic uses including cultivation and food. Separate chapters examine sensory and digestive systems, circulation and respiration, and the mantle and radula, while regional chapters map the geographical distribution of land, freshwater, marine and deep-sea faunas. Major groups—cephalopods, gastropods (various subclasses), pelecypods, scaphopods—and both recent and fossil brachiopods receive illustrated, referenced treatments intended for students and naturalists.
