Grzimek's Student Animal Life Resource: Crustaceans, Mollusks, and Segmented Worms offers readers comprehensive and easy-to-use information on Earth's crustaceans, mollusks, and segmented worms. Entries are arranged by taxonomy, the science through which living things are classified into related groups. Each entry includes sections on physical characteristics; geographic range; habitat; diet; behavior and reproduction; animals and people; and conservation status. All entries are followed by one or more species accounts with the same information as well as a range map and photo or illustration for each species. Entries conclude with a list of books, periodicals, and Web sites that may be used for further research.
