This book is updated from the First Edition of 1991, regarded as a valuable reference work. The revisions make it the most up-to-date and informative text of its kind. Written by experts in the ecology of various invertebrate groups, this book emphasizes ecological information within a current taxonomic framework. Each chapter contains both morphological and taxonomic information, including keys to North American taxa (usually to the generic level) as well as bibliographic information and a list of further readings. This new edition has been greatly expanded, especially in terms of the references cited and the classification of North American freshwater invertebrates. New or substantially revised chapters include those covering freshwater ecosystems, snails, aquatic spiders, aquatic insects, and crustaceans. It will be of value to those working in areas of freshwater biology, ecology, limnology, environmental science, invertebrate zoology and related fields.
