Biogeography and Biodiversity of Western Atlantic Mollusks
Langbeschreibung
This is the first book to use quantitative methodologies to define marine molluscan biogeographical patterns, tracing the historical development of these arrangements for the subtropical and tropical western Atlantic. Drawing on his decades of intensive field work, the author defines three provinces (Carolinian, Caribbean, and Brazilian) and 15 subprovinces, and discusses the ancestral biogeographical regions that gave rise to the recent provincial and subprovincial patterns. The book presents maps and color photographs of over 400 species of rare and seldom seen shells.
