Decapod crustacean phylogenetics [electronic resource] / edited by Joel W. Martin, Keith A. Crandall, Darryl L. Felder.

Presents methodological information for research on the diversity and relationships of the decapods. This title provides an overview of understanding of the systematics within select major decapod assemblages, assembling and coding molecular and morphological characters toward an overall decapod phy...
