Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos, volume 27

Tropical Deep-Sea Benthos is a series dedicated to the inventory of the world’s deep-sea fauna, especially those found in the little-explored Indo-West Pacific. Growing out of the French National Museum of Natural History and Institut de Recherche pour le Développement’s recent expeditions off Mozambique, Madagascar, and Papua New Guinea, this volume provides descriptions of more than two hundred species—including twenty-seven new species of crabs, shrimp, lobsters, and more. With a list of contributors that reads like a “who’s who” of crustacean biodiversity research, this spectacularly illustrated book is a fascinating guide.
