Cambridge University Press 052135210X - The Ecology of Freshwater Molluscs Robert T. Dillon Frontmatter More information The Ecology of Freshwater Molluscs This book provides a comprehensive review of the ecology of freshwater bivalves and gastropods worldwide. It deals with the ecology of these species in its broadest sense, including diet, habitat and reproductive biology, emphasizing in particular the tremendous diversity of these freshwater invertebrates. Following on from these introductory themes, the author develops a new life history model that unifies them, and serves as a basis for reviews of their population and community ecology, including treatments of competiton, predation, para- sitism, and biogeography. Extensively referenced and providing a synthesis of work from the nineteenth century through to the present day, this book includes original analyses that seek to unify previous work into a coherent whole. It will appeal pri- marily to professional ecologists and evolutionary biologists, as well as to parasitologists. . is Associate Professor in the Department of Biology, College of Charleston, South Carolina. He has published widely on the ecology, evolution and genetics of molluscs for 20 years. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 052135210X - The Ecology of Freshwater Molluscs Robert T.
