Recent Advances in Freshwater Crustacean Biodiversity and
Conservation focuses on minor crustacean groups and regionally
endemic groups, all from freshwaters. Chapters in this book cover
crustaceans such as Maxillopods, Mysids, Cumaceans, Isopods,
Amphipods, Branchiopods, Copepods, and Decapods. Each looks at
global or regional fauna and discusses conservation issues for that
group. The majority of the chapters are based on papers presented
at symposia organized by the editors at two international
scientific meetings held in Barcelona and Washington DC. The
contributors are world-renowned experts on their groups, as well as
on freshwater crustacean conservation and biodiversity at global
levels. It has previously been difficult for conservation managers,
NGOs, and university professors and students who may not have
access to comprehensive journal subscriptions to find relevant
information on diversity and conservation of freshwater
crustaceans. This book meets that need, addressing crustacean
groups not previously treated and providing additional information
beyond any presented in existing books. As the editors write in
their introduction: we cannot conserve and we cannot protect what
we do not know exists. This is a reliable, cutting-edge reference
for anybody involved in crustacean research: students, researchers,
agencies, and NGOs, as well as science educators, conservationists,
and government conservation policymakers. The book will also be
useful for those working in aquaculture and fisheries, given that
many of the taxa discussed are economically important.
