In Evolution and Phylogeny of Pancrustacea: A Scientific Method, Drs. Frederick Schram and Stefan Koenemann introduce us to the wonderful world of crustaceans and insects by discussing body plans, segmentation, development, phylogeny and classification. Many beautifully illustrated figures and drawings allow readers to visualize relatedness, defining characteristics and distributional ranges. This book is truly the most comprehensive review of Pancrustacea to date and should be a staple for all retired, practicing, and aspiring zoologists for decades to come.
