- Systematic Biology, Vol. 53, Dec. 2004, No. 6
This comprehensive treatment of issues on the interface of evolution and development results in an integrated view of the subject presented by top authors in their field … This book is an extremely important contribution to the integration of evolutionary and developmental biology of both crustaceans and arthropods. The compilation of present knowledge in this volume will facilitate many scientists and students in this rapidly expanding field of research.

Book Description
Evolutionary Developmental Biology of Crustacea presents a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of the field, beginning with a discussion of the implications of the typological Bauplan and phylum concepts versus historical concepts such as ground pattern and monophylum for the formulation of conceptual questions in evo-devo. Following this, the authors present the results of Hox gene expression in various crustacean taxa, aspects of segment formation at the cellular and genetic levels, the formation of segmental structures such as neurons, ganglia, and limbs, and the role of morphological ontogenetic characters in resolving phylogenetic relationships.
