Many of the individual papers were first presented at the  Third International Large Branchiopod Symposium (ILBS-3) held at the  University of San Diego, CA, USA, July 15-18, 1996.  Contributions on additional topics from participants at the symposium,  and from colleagues not able to join us in San Diego, are also  included. In addition, there is a supplement to the 1995 `Checklist of  the Anostraca'. \u003cbr\u003e  The theme of the ILBS-3 was `understanding and conserving large  branchiopod diversity'. Researchers from around the world presented  papers on a variety of topics related to conservation of large  branchiopods, with contributions ranging from alpha-taxonomy and  zoogeography to community structure and studies of ecology and  evolution. One important issue developed in many of the papers in this  volume is the need to advance our understanding of basic aspects of  branchiopod biology throughout the world in order to enhance our  efforts to conserve them. Although we have made important strides in  understanding the biology of large branchiopods, we have, with few  notable exceptions, made little progress in assuring the conservation  of their diversity. We hope this volume will supply the reader with  new ideas, and generate enthusiasm for research and public education  efforts on behalf of branchiopod conservation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792349662\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-3177-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279.0cm x210.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 246.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541553672332,"sku":"9780792349662","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792349662.jpg?v=1759287021","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792349662","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
