Description and Table of Contents
Description
Containing much original, previously unpublished research, this book describes the conspicuous. colourful, and ecologically important snail genus Conus. It provides what is probably the best and most extensive data set of life parameters available from any tropical invertebrate taxon.
The conclusions drawn are likely to apply to many coral-reef invertebrates and thus ensure the book's significance for all those interested in the study of biodiversity.
