Arthropod Biology and Evolution Molecules, Development, Morphology

From the book reviews:

“This volume, edited by Minelli et al., is a timely, invaluable, and extensive overview of advances. … This volume is a significant achievement and provides an outstanding starting point for students interested in any aspect of arthropod evolution, as well as a rich resource in which researchers specializing in particular taxa can situate their work in a broader evolutionary and functional context.” (John True, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 89 (3), September, 2014)

“The ambitious volume of Minelli and co-editors represents a comprehensive, stimulating and timely review of what is currently known about arthropods. Individual chapters reveal gaps in our knowledge and highlight possible directions for further research. … Minelli et al.’s book should not be neglected by zoologists, and I recommend it to all students, teachers and researchers interested in arthropods.” (Georg Mayer, Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Vol. 52 (1), 2014)

“The contents are organized into 18 chapters devoted to morphology, paleontology, phylogeny and developmental biology, and to aspects of physiology and molecular biology. … The layout is aesthetically pleasing; drawings and illustrations … as well as the colour images are of high quality throughout. … it can be highly recommended to anyone interested in any group of arthropods and/or in any aspect of biology.” (Hannelore Hoch, Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, Vol. 60 (2), 2014)
