Synopsis
This book is a comprehensive exploration of the Cirripedia, a diverse and widespread subclass of crustaceans. These creatures, commonly known as barnacles, have been studied and classified since the work of Darwin. The author, an expert on this group, provides a historical overview of barnacle studies while presenting a revised classification system based on the latest findings. This new system is based on an examination of shell morphology and an analysis of the soft part anatomy and appendages. Beyond a taxonomic revision, this book presents detailed insights into the evolution and diversification of barnacles. The author traces their origins from free-living ancestors and discusses how various lineages adapted to different habitats, including deep-sea environments and symbiotic relationships with other organisms. This significant work offers a valuable resource for researchers and students studying the Cirripedia and provides a comprehensive understanding of the diversity and evolution of this fascinating group of animals.
