Description: Pennak's Freshwater Invertebrates of the United States : Porifera to Crustacea, Hardcover by Smith, Douglas Grant, ISBN 0471358371, ISBN-13 9780471358374, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Smith (evolutionary and organismic biology, U. of Massachusetts at Amherst) presents the newest edition of a biological overview of a number of freshwater invertebrates, and also the first not to be penned by its original author, Robert Pennak. With the growth of knowledge of more taxonomic groups, Smith has dropped the chapter on protozoa, as Pennak dropped insects in the preceding edition. After discussing the general ecology of freshwater fauna, separate chapters discuss the biology of the porifera, cnidaria, platyhelminthes, nemertea, gastrotricha, rotifera, nematoda, nematomorpha, tardigrada, entoprocta, ectoprocta, annelida, mollusca, arachnida, and a number of crustacea. Chapters provide information on general characteristics; digestive, nervous, reproductive, and other systems, feeding habits; ecologies; and taxonomies. Descriptive illustrations are included throughout and bibliographies are included for each chapter. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
