Contents:

Chapter 1. Evolutionary history and phylogenetic relationships of Aeglidae Sandro Santos, Marlise Ladvocat Bartholomei-Santos, Bianca Laís Zimmermann, Marcos Pérez-Losada and Keith A. Crandall Chapter 2. Morphology, taxonomy and diversity of extant Aeglidae Sandro Santos, Georgina Bond-Buckup and Carlos G. Jara Chapter 3.

Intra- and interspecific behavioral interactions of Aeglidae with a comparison to other decapods Marcelo M. Dalosto and Alexandre V. Palaoro Chapter 8. Physiological ecology: osmoregulation and metabolism of the aeglid anomurans John Campbell McNamara and Samuel Coelho Faria Chapter 9. Conservation status and threats of Aeglidae: beyond the assessment Harry Boos, Paula Guimarães Salge and Marcelo A. A. Pinheiro Chapter 10.

Summary: Aeglidae focuses on these unique crustaceans who are endemic to South America. The book is the first to summarize the diverse aspects of the Aeglidae, whosetaxonomic features and phylogenetic relationships, evolutionary history and biogeographical background, biological characteristics, and current conservation awareness make them stand out among all other decapods. Addresses the morphology, taxonomy, and phylogenetics that characterize the Aegla and their relationship to other decapod taxa Provides in-depth treatment of the evolutionary history, biogeography, reproduction, developmental biology, and the life cycle of the Aeglidae Discusses their physiology, ecology and behavior, including physiological mechanisms associated with freshwater adaptation, population dynamics, trophic ecology, agonistic and non-agonistic behavior Covers the current conservation status of all known species of aeglids, major threats to them, the use of aeglids as flagships or umbrella species, and conservation action planning Edited by internationally distinguished leaders in this field. This will be an important reference not only forcarcinologists working with this family of decapods, but also readers interested in the evolution, biogeography, taxonomy, phylogenetics, physiology, and reproductive ecology.Summary: "Aeglidae focuses on these unique crustaceans who are endemic to South America.
