Series Overview

This is the eighth volume of a ten-volume series on The Natural History of the Crustacea.

Volume Focus

The volume examines Evolution and Biogeography, and the first part of this volume is entirely dedicated to the explanation of the origins and successful establishment of the Crustacea in the oceans.

Biogeography and Adaptation

In the second part of the book, the biogeography of the Crustacea is explored in order to infer how they conquered different biomes globally while adapting to a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial conditions.

Patterns and Future Insights

The final section examines more general patterns and processes, and the chapters offer useful insight into the future of crustaceans.
