Still a good sound copy. [The book traces the ways in which terrestrial animals have evolved from aquatic ancestors and discusses the means by which they are adapted to life on land. The most important physiological adaptations are those involving salt and water balance, the excretion of nitrogen, reproductive mechanisms and the sense organ and these are given priority. Evidence from fossil history is combined with that from the ecology and physiology of present-day species to assess the probable routes along which various evolutionary lines had moved on to land. Individual chapters are concerned with specific animal groups and emphasis is placed on comparisons of physiological mechanisms between closely related animals before attempting wider generalisations. The book closes with a brief account of the… Read More

London: The Ray Society, 1991. Illustrated, large quarto, pp 468, a very good copy in dustwrapper, virtually as new. [ Copepods are small crustaceans that have colonised virtually every aquatic habitat from the deep-sea floor to the high Himalayas. They are by far the dominant animal group in marine plankton and often in freshwater plankton also. They are abundant both on and in marine sediments from the intertidal zone to the abyss and can be found in damp terrestrial habitats in large numbers. The variety of freeliving forms is only part of the copepod success story since copepods have become associates or parasites of virtually every animal phylum from sponges and cnidarians up to chordate, including fish and mammals. This volume examines in detail the evolutionary pathways that generated this amazing diversity. It contains over 900 individual drawings and 43 plates of black and white photographs, the great majority illustrating the basic form of each of the ten recognised orders of copepods.… Read More
