| Abstract
|
:
|
All aspects of the ecology of freshwater molluscs are discussed in this unique volume. Extensively referenced and providing a synthesis of work from the 19th century to the present day, this book will appeal to professional ecologists, evolutionary biologists and parasitologists interested in these diverse invertebrates.
