[b]Bivalve Seashells of Tropical West America. Marine Bivalve Mollusks from Baja California to Perú
by Eugene V. Coan and Paul Valentich-Scott[/b]
Bivalve Seashells of Tropical West America is the most comprehensive book ever written on tropical Pacific Ocean bivalves.
The culmination of an eight year study, it treats all bivalve mollusks living from northern Baja California, México to northern Perú. A total of over 900 species are described and illustrated with detailed color photographs and drawings. All habitats in the region are included from the intertidal splash zone to the abyssal depths of the ocean basins.
The book has over 6,000 complete bibliographic references to the bivalves including citations on the biology, physiology, ecology, and taxonomy of this commercially and biologically important group. Character tables and dichotomous keys assist the reader in identification. Also included in the 1300 page book is an illustrated key to the superfamiles of the region, and a complete glossary.
This is a “must have publication” for tropical malacologists, paleontologists, archeologists, libraries, shellfishery and environmental scientists, and shell collectors.
