Treatise on Zoology - Anatomy, Taxonomy, Biology. the Myriapoda, Volume 1

Myriapods are the only major zoological groups for which a modern encyclopaedic treatment has never been produced. In particular, this was the single major gap in the largest zoological treatise of the XIX century (Grass 's Trait de Zoologie), whose publication has recently been stopped. "The Myriapoda" fills that gap with an updated treatment in the English language. All aspects of biology of the four myriapod classes (about 15,000 species described to date) are covered, including external and internal morphology, physiology, reproduction, development, distribution, ecology, phylogeny and taxonomy. The work is thus a necessary complement for all institutional and personal libraries of researchers interested in Arthropoda or in soil biology.
