Cambridge University Press, 2000, 1st edition hard cover, no dust jacket, excellent condition, unmarked, 509 pages.

Snails and bivalves are commonly found in rivers and lakes worldwide. The ecology of these species in its broadest sense is discussed in this book, including diet, habitat, reproductive biology, life history and biogeography. In addition the author examines the interactions of molluscs in populations and communities, as well as their predators and parasites. Extensively referenced and providing a synthesis of work from the 19th century to the present day, The Ecology of Freshwater Molluscs will appeal to professional ecologists, evolutionary biologists and parasitologists interested in these diverse invertebrates.
