Atlas of Marine Invertebrate Larvae, Second Edition covers the origins and history of marine larval science, contemporary state-of-the-art approaches to larval development and biology, and the highest-quality images and schematics showing the broadest diversity of marine larvae in the animal tree of life. This book illustrates larval body plans, the anatomy of their organ systems (muscular, sensory, digestive), including distinct ciliation patterns that facilitate swimming, and the complex metamorphic changes they undergo between different larval and growth stages. Each chapter contains in-text references that direct readers to both historical and contemporary research on the forms, functions, behaviors and biogeographical distributions of marine larvae.This book is a valuable and foundational resource for biologists across various disciplines, including biodiversity, biogeography, and developmental biology. Ecologists, taxonomists, oceanographers, and environmental scientists also benefit from the complete coverage of marine larval forms offered by this book. Additionally, the broad scope and phyletic coverage of marine biodiversity presented in this atlas is ideal for students in oceanography and marine biology, animal development, biological oceanography and invertebrate zoology.

Covers every major marine invertebrate clade within the Metazoa
Includes an expanded introductory chapter on the biology, ecology and roles of larvae in marine food webs and the movements of marine invertebrate species within the world’s oceans
Provides complete updates to each chapter, including condensed, comparative background information on taxon-specific development and life-history patterns
Features detailed anatomical schematics and drawings, accompanied by compound, confocal and scanning electron micrographs for multiple recognized clades within each phylum

Michael Boyle is Biologist and Principal Investigator of the Life Histories Program at the Smithsonian Marine Station. Dr. Boyle is an early-career scientist with doctoral and post-doctoral research experience on comparative development of embryonic and larval stages of marine annelids. He is an expert on the imaging of larval invertebrates with confocal laser scanning microscopy. His laboratory focuses on describing molecular, genetic, and developmental diversity of marine invertebrate life cycles. Craig Young is Professor of Biology at the University of Oregon, and past Director of the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology. Dr. Young has devoted his professional career to investigating the reproduction and early life-history stages of marine benthic invertebrates at all depths of the sea, and his lab pioneered the culture of larvae from deep-sea environments worldwide. Dr. Young, the founding editor of Atlas of Marine Invertebrate Larvae, returns to the second edition as co-editor. Mary A. Sewell is a Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. She is an authority on the larval form, physiology, and ecology of echinoderms, with research on species from the tropics to the Antarctic and from the intertidal to abyssal depths. Dr. Sewell returns to the second edition of Atlas of Marine Invertebrate Larvae as associate editor.
