The Boxwood Press: Acmaeidae

ACMAEIDAE

by David R. Lindberg, Ph.D 1981, 6x9, 122 pp., cloth, $12.50, ISBN: 0-910286-72-8

THE FAMILY Acmaeidae includes over 150 species of marine gastropods, which differ little in morphological characteristics. Dr. David Lindberg, distinquished malacologist and Professor of Biology at the University of California (Santa Cruz) has developed a taxonomic identification manual that identifies all known California limpets in this family with simple, straight forward taxonomic keys. To facilitate use by both novices and specialists, pictorial keys are used in addition to the more traditional verbal dichotomous keys. The general biologist, student, amatuer taxonomist, specialist, and ecologist will find this manual an essential addition to their reference collection.
