Phylogeography and Population Genetics in Crustacea

Written for a wide variety of readers such as crustaceanists and those in organismal disciplines such as zoology and biology, this text presents a state-of-the-art synopsis of current knowledge on population genetics and analysis of phylogeography in crustacean biology. It presents patterns and processes of reproduction, geographic differentiation at regional and global scales, incipient speciation, cryptic endemism, and methodical approaches for analyses. Case studies from all major crustacean taxa and the different habitats of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial are covered. Written and edited by internationally distinguished researchers, there also includes be a full-color insert from the authors.
