This volume of the "Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research" series deals with the major zoological indicators used in palaeolimnology. Other volumes deal with the acquisition and archiving of lake sediment cores, chronological techniques, large-scale basin analysis methods, physical and geochemical parameters and methods, terrestrial, algal and siliceous indicators and statistical and data handling methods. These monographs should provide sufficient detail and breadth to be useful handbooks for both seasoned practitioners as well as newcomers to the area of palaeolimnology. Although the chapters in these volumes target mainly lacustrine settings, many of the techniques described can also be readily applied to fluvial, glacial, marine, estuarine and peatland environments.

"This book is an excellent compendium of modern uses and techniques of various zoological indicators (other than protozoa, rotifers and sponges). The editors have done a superb job in keeping the chapters broadly focused and aimed at the introductory level, making the content of this volume accessible to other specialist and non-specialist alike from a variety of disciplines."
