Item description from seller

1995 Hard Cover. 223 Pgs. No marks, clean pgs, binding tight. DJ excellent. The harsh environment of caves - dark, damp, sparse of food - is home to a variety of "bizarre" creatures. Biologists, for their part, often treat these delicate, colourless organisms with no eyes, or at least greatly reduced eyes, as mere oddities with little importance to a topic as grand as evolution. Focusing on one cave-dwelling crustacean, "Gammarus minus", this book shows that, to the contrary, cave life can provide a valuable empirical model for the study of evolution, particularly adaptation. Presents the results of many years of extensive research on Gammarus minus by a team of workers who have carefully investigates many aspects of its genetics, ecology, morphology and systematics.
