  • TROPICAL MARINE MOLLUSKS
    EDWARD J. PETUCH / DAVID P. BERSCHAUER
    Marine biogeography, the study of the spatial distribution of organisms in the world’s oceans, is one of the most fascinating branches of oceanography. This book continues the pioneering research into the distributions of molluscan faunas, first studied by biologists over 160 years ago. It illustrates 1778 species of gastropods in full color, many of which are extremely rare an...

  • BIOGEOGRAPHY AND BIODIVERSITY OF WESTERN ATLANTIC MOLLUSKS
    EDWARD J. PETUCH
    Shallow water marine molluscan faunas are distributed in a pattern of distinct, geographically definable areas. This makes mollusks ideal for studying the distribution of organisms in the marine environment and the processes and patterns that control their evolution. Biogeography and Biodiversity of Western Atlantic Mollusks is the first book to us ...

  • MOLLUSCAN PALEONTOLOGY OF THE CHESAPEAKE MIOCENE
    EDWARD J. PETUCH / MARDIE DROLSHAGEN
    The Chesapeake Miocene will always be considered a paleontological treasure. Given the richness and accessibility of the Maryland and Virginia Miocene shell beds, it seems remarkable that very few people have ever described new species from these strata over the past 185 years. Until now. Integrating elements from paleontology, geology, environmental science, and ecology, Mollu...
