Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, the definitive work on Chitons, or coat-of-mail shells, offers researchers and collectors an exhaustive study of a diverse marine invertebrate group. Chitons are recognizable by their eight overlapping, plate-like shells. The author, an acknowledged expert in conchology, has spent many years meticulously examining hundreds of Chiton species, resulting in a systematic classification of these ancient and ecologically vital creatures. This latest edition includes numerous illustrations and descriptions of newly discovered species. The author describes the fascinating anatomy, evolutionary history, and ecological significance of Chitons, including their remarkable adaptation to a wide range of environments. The book is a comprehensive resource, providing historical notes, a global species list, and an insightful exploration of the extensive fossil record of Chitons. Chitons, though often overlooked, are an indispensable component of healthy marine ecosystems, and are increasingly threatened by human activity. By shedding light on these unique animals, this book contributes to ongoing conservation efforts and highlights the urgent need to protect our oceans and their inhabitants.
