Description: "In Remarkable Shrimps, Raymond T. Bauer explores the evolution, natural history, biological diversity, and commercial importance of caridean shrimps - a fascinating and colorful group of aquatic organisms that inhabit freshwater and marine environments from the tropics to the poles." "Extensive fieldwork is showcased in life history studies on shrimps, employing both behavioral observations using time-lapse video and experimental work to test hypotheses on mating strategies." "Profiling each of the nearly thirty families of caridean shrimps, Bauer writes in an informal style that is nevertheless rich with precise and useful references. Over one hundred figures and eleven plates with seventy color and half-tone photographs accompany the text."--BOOK JACKET.
