An Introduction to Copepod DiversityCopepods are small but extremely abundantcrustaceans which occur in every type of aquatic habitat. The rapid expansionof taxonomic knowledge concerning copepods has made it difficult for studentsand non-specialists to access the voluminous, but scattered primary literature.This volume is designed to provide an overview of the entire group - frommarine plankton to subterranean forms, and from parasites to minute inhabitantsof the interstitial spaces between sediment particles. |
