Description / Table of Contents:
Reflecting the wide variety of ideas and hypotheses concerning decapod phylogeny, the world's leading decapodologists assemble their knowledge in this volume for the sole purpose of elucidating these relationships. These experts present methodological updates for research on the diversity and relationships of the decapods, provide an overview of current understanding of the systematics within select major decapod assemblages, and take steps toward coding molecular and morphological characters toward an overall decapod phylogeny. They provide a synopsis of current understanding of this vast and important group of animals.
