Product Description The only comprehensive treatment of camel-spiders available! The Biology of Camel-Spiders is the only work available that deals exclusively with Arachnida, Solifugae. Beginning with an introduction to Solifugae, this work covers folklore surrounding this group, functional anatomy and physiology, life history, ecology, behavior, phylogeny, biogeography and taxonomy, as well as field techniques and laboratory rearing methods. Extensive coverage is also devoted to natural history, habitat preference, diet composition, dispersion patterns, mating and hunting behavior, and burrowing activities, as well as diel/seasonal patterns of activity. The book also discusses the biology of Solifugae in relation to other major groups of arachnids and points out the importance of solifuges to desert communities. | ||
Reviews | ||
Serious problem with the book's production A number of this book's figures were copied from various sources and used without ever acknowledging those who had drawn the figures. It is not appropriate to buy a book by an author who presents the work of others as if it were his own. | ||
most comprehensive treatment of this order Excellent treatment of the ecology, behavior, life history, morphology, phylogeny and neurobiology of the Solifugae. This book also provides keys for families and genera worldwide. | ||
