The Embryology And Metamorphosis Of The Macroura (1891)

By William Keith Brooks and Francis Hobart Herrick

Book Overview

The Embryology And Metamorphosis Of The Macroura is a scientific book written by William Keith Brooks and published in 1891. It is a detailed study of the embryonic development and metamorphosis of a group of marine crustaceans known as Macroura, which includes shrimps, lobsters, and crabs. The book is divided into four main sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Macroura embryology and metamorphosis. The first section provides an overview of the group and its classification, while the second section examines the embryonic development of Macroura and the changes that occur during this process. The third section focuses on the post-embryonic development, including the various stages of metamorphosis that Macroura undergo before reaching adulthood. The final section of the book discusses the ecological and evolutionary implications of Macroura embryology and metamorphosis. The book is highly detailed and technical, with numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding the complex processes involved in Macroura development. It is considered a classic work in the field of marine biology and is still used as a reference by scientists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
