These new areas of research have  stimulated a reconsideration of classical morphology and embryology.  \u003cem\u003eArthropod\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eRelationships\u003c\/em\u003e is the first synthesis of the  current debate to emerge: not since the volume edited by Gupta was  published in 1979 has the arthropod phylogeny debate been, considered  in this depth and breadth. \u003cbr\u003e  Leaders in the various branches of arthropod biology have contributed  to this volume. Chapters focus progressively from the general issues  to the specific problems involving particular groups, and thence to a  consideration of embryology and genetics. This wide range of  disciplines is drawn on to approach an understanding of arthropod  relationships, and to provide the most timely account of arthropod  phylogeny. \u003cbr\u003e  This book should be read by evolutionary biologists, palaeontologists,  developmental geneticists and invertebrate zoologists. It will have a  special interest for post-graduate students working in these fields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780412754203\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4904-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 383\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312114225292,"sku":"9780412754203","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780412754203.jpg?v=1771518980","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780412754203","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
