This work covers the geographical distribution of Crustaceans with hypotheses on how the distribution took place, based on fossil and recent records.

From the third international workshop on the subject (U. of Florence, 1997), come 18 papers reviewing the issue of alien crayfish decimating the relatively few native species in European freshwater environments. In a historical and taxonomic context, the initial paper explains why such homogenizatio

This text contains the papers of a meeting on American isopods, the only crustacean group with representatives in all terrestrial ecosystems. It deals with two main subjects: the effects of stressful conditions on the individual animal; and distribution and selection of microhabitat.

This text gives an overview of almost all aspects of barnacle biology covering advances made since Charles Darwin to the present day.

This work provides a guide to current research in barnacle evolution. Topics covered include: chemical signals in barnacles; larval settlement; naupliar evidence for cirripede taxonomy and phylogeny; and South American patterns of barnacle distribution.
