Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos, Volume 27 [Memoires Du Museum National D’Histoire Naturelle, Volume 204]

About this book

Language: English

Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos is a series dedicated to the inventory of the world’s deep-sea fauna, especially those found in the little-explored Indo-West Pacific. Growing out of the French National Museum of Natural History and Institut de Recherche pour le Développement’s recent expeditions off Mozambique, Madagascar, and Papua New Guinea, Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos, Volume 27 (which is volume 204 in the parent series Mémoires du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle) provides descriptions of more than two hundred species – including twenty-seven new species of crabs, shrimp, lobsters, and more. With a list of contributors that reads like a “who’s who” of crustacean biodiversity research, this spectacularly illustrated book is a fascinating guide.
