商品描述
Molluscan Communities of the Florida Keys and Adjacent Areas: Their Ecology and Biodiversity is the first comprehensive overview of the ecology and biodiversity of the phylum Mollusca in the area of Florida extending from the Dry Tortugas and Ten Thousand Islands in the west to Palm Beach in the east. The book provides detailed analyses of molluscan faunas found in 20 different ecosystems, emphasizing the marine environments of the Florida Keys archipelago and its extensive coral reef tracts.
Full-page color illustrations portray living animals, unique Keys environments, underwater ecosystems, and satellite images. More than 1,200 species of macromollusks--in 86 gastropod families and 54 bivalve families--are recorded from the study area, with color plates illustrating over 550 of the region's most ecologically important species.
For the first time in any book on the malacology of the Florida Keys area, the 20 marine ecosystems and their associated molluscan assemblages are arranged by the CMECS (Coastal Marine Ecological Classification Standard) system. This system emphasizes the hierarchical relationships determined by substrate type, bathymetry, and water chemistry. Along with complete species lists for every molluscan assemblage, this handy guide introduces ten newly-discovered gastropods, including new species in the families Muricidae, Buccinidae, Nassariidae, Naticidae, Turritellidae, and Olividae. Two new bivalves in the families Pectinidae and Arcidae are also described in a special systematic appendix.
This richly illustrated book is written for the professional scientific audience interested in mollusks, marine ecology, evolution, and taxonomy as well as malacologists, naturalists, and shell collectors. It is also an ideal synoptic field guide, showing where individual species of mollusks can be found and within which ecosystems they occur.

《佛羅里達礁島及其周邊地區的軟體動物群落：生態學與生物多樣性》是首部全面概述佛羅里達地區（從乾托圖加群島和一萬島向西延伸至棕櫚灘向東）軟體動物門生態學與生物多樣性的著作。該書詳細分析了在20種不同生態系統中發現的軟體動物群，強調佛羅里達礁島群及其廣泛的珊瑚礁環境的海洋生態。
全頁彩色插圖描繪了活體動物、獨特的礁島環境、水下生態系統和衛星影像。研究區域記錄了超過1,200種大型軟體動物，涵蓋86個腹足類（gastropod）科和54個雙殼類（bivalve）科，並且彩色圖版展示了該地區550多種生態上最重要的物種。
在任何關於佛羅里達礁島地區的軟體動物學書籍中，首次將20個海洋生態系統及其相關的軟體動物群按照CMECS（沿海海洋生態分類標準）系統進行排列。該系統強調了由基質類型、水深和水化學性質所決定的層級關係。除了每個軟體動物群的完整物種名單外，這本實用指南還介紹了十種新發現的腹足類，包括來自Muricidae、Buccinidae、Nassariidae、Naticidae、Turritellidae和Olividae科的新物種。還在特別的系統附錄中描述了來自Pectinidae和Arcidae科的兩種新雙殼類。
這本插圖豐富的書籍是為對軟體動物、海洋生態學、演化和分類學感興趣的專業科學讀者而寫的，同時也適合軟體動物學家、自然學家和貝殼收藏家。它也是一本理想的綜合野外指南，顯示了各種軟體動物的分佈及其所處的生態系統。
作者簡介
Edward J. Petuch is a professor of geology in the Department of Geosciences at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, where he teaches courses on oceanography, paleontology, and physical geology. When not collecting and studying mollusks in the Florida Keys or the nearby Lake Worth Lagoon, Petuch leads an active career as a musician, giving regular concerts on the pipe organ and playing the recorder and harpsichord in university chamber ensembles.
Robert F. Myers has written or coauthored numerous scientific papers and popular articles on western Pacific fishes and several books. He has also developed an application for iPhones and iPads on Florida-Caribbean reef fish identification. Myers is currently working on a field guide to Florida and Caribbean marine life and serves on the coral reef fishes Species Survival Commission (SSC) of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

愛德華·J·佩圖赫（Edward J. Petuch）是佛羅里達大西洋大學（Florida Atlantic University）地球科學系的地質學教授，他教授海洋學、古生物學和物理地質學等課程。在佛羅里達礁群或附近的沃斯湖（Lake Worth Lagoon）收集和研究軟體動物之餘，佩圖赫還活躍於音樂界，定期在管風琴上舉行音樂會，並在大學的室內樂團中演奏直笛和羽管鍵琴。
羅伯特·F·邁爾斯（Robert F. Myers）撰寫或共同撰寫了多篇有關西太平洋魚類的科學論文和流行文章，以及幾本書籍。他還為iPhone和iPad開發了一款有關佛羅里達-加勒比海珊瑚礁魚類識別的應用程式。邁爾斯目前正在編寫一本佛羅里達和加勒比海海洋生物的實地指南，並擔任國際自然保護聯盟（IUCN）珊瑚礁魚類物種生存委員會（SSC）的成員。
