"""Provides an updated collation badly needed... Makes exciting reading, all the more so because in providing overviews of work in progress it reflects divergent opinions."" Science (AAAS) ""[Will] serve as standard reference for evolutionary ecologists over the next decade."" Marine Ecology ""This book is a must-have for researchers studying molluscan (or even invertebrate) evolution. It includes an incredible amount of useful information, all of which is well-referenced."" Bulletin Of Marine Science ""The book has been carefully edited and is rich in high-quality figures... A standard reference for evolutionary ecologists over the next decade."" -- Martin Zuschin Marine Ecology"
