This volume, 9B, covers the infraorders of the Astacidea that were not covered in volume 9A (Enoplometopoidea, Nephropoidea and Glypheidea) as well as the Axiidea, Gebiidea and Anomura. With the publication of this ninth volume in the Treatise on Zoology: The Crustacea, we depart from the sequence one would normally expect. Some crustacean groups never had a French version produced, namely, the orders Stomatopoda, Euphausiacea, Amphionidacea, and Decapoda; the largest contingent of these involved Decapoda - a group of tremendous diversity and for which we have great depth of knowledge. The organization and production of these "new" chapters began independently from the other chapters and volumes. Originally envisioned by the editorial team to encompass volume 9 of the series, it quickly became evident that the depth of material for such a volume must involve the printing of separate fascicles. These new chapters are now nearing completion, and the decision was made to begin publication of volume 9 immediately rather than wait until after volumes 3 through 8 would appear.

About the Author

M. Charmantier-Daures is an associate professor at the University of Montpellier and well known for her work on crustacean ecophysiology and genetics. She also is an editor of Crustaceana - International Journal of Crustacean Research

J. Forest (†), editor of the original French volumes of the Trait� de Zoologie, with his impressive published record of various groups of Crustacea, acted as a supervising editor of the series.

Frederick R. Schram, Ph. D. (1968), University of Chicago, is Professor Emeritus of Systematics and Zoogeography, University of Amsterdam. He has published extensive on fossil and recent crustaceans across almost all major groups., including the text-reference Crustacea (Oxford Univ. Press, 1986).

J. Carel von Vaupel Klein, Ph.D. (1984), Leiden University, and formerly employed there as an associate professor (now retired), works on systematics of calanoid copepods and is principal translator of the series Trait� de Zoologie / Treatise on Zoology - Crustacea.

From the Back Cover

With this edition, the texts of the famous "Trait de Zoologie" have not only been translated from the French and updated as required, but, with this volume 9 (of which now parts A and B have appeared), are also expanded to include the systemtics of the Decapoda. The chapters herein have thus been conceived anew, especially for this series, and present the current state-of-art in decapod taxonomy and biology. The editors of the present volume were fortunate enough to secure the involvement of leading specialists in all groups to be included. We believe this text will constitute a standard reference in carcinology for the next decades. This series is now planned to comprise a total of 9 volumes, some of which in more than one fascicle of approximately 400-600 pp. each.
