Synopsis

Coastal Education & Research [CERF} [Published Date: 1986]. Hard cover, xiii, 253 pp; 23 cm; Illustrated with 39 color plates and numerous black-and-white distribution maps and figures. [From front jacket flap] This exciting new publication encompasses the ecology and evolutionary history of the popular genus Oliva. Over 300 species, subspecies, and color forms are described and illustrated, many for the first time. All described shells are clearly illustrated in the 39 beautiful color plates. To aid both professionals and amateurs in accurate identification of members of this genus, a zoogeographic review, with maps showing distributions of all known species, is included. A new systematic arrangement that recognizes 19 subgeneric groupings (10 described for the first time) makes the Atlas of the Living Olive Shells of the World an invaluable tool for shell collectors, malacologists, marine biologists, and naturalists. Contents include: Introduction; Morphological Characteristics; Evolutionary History of the Genus Oliva; Ecology of the Genus Oliva; The Systematic Arrangement of the Olividae; Zoogeography of the Living Olives; Synoptic Compendium of the Genus Oliva; Systematics: Acutoliva; Annulatoliva; Arctoliva; Cariboliva; Carmione; Galeola; Miniaceoliva; Multiplicoliva; Musteloliva; Neocylindrus; Oliva; Omogymna; Parvoliva; Porphyria; Proxoliva; Rufoliva; Strephona; Strephonella; Viduoliva; Glossary; Bibliography
