The Dispersal Of Shells : An Inquiry Into The Means Of Dispersal Possessed By Freshwater And Land Mollusca (1893)
Other Available Formats
Overview
""The Dispersal of Shells"" is a scientific inquiry into the various ways in which freshwater and land mollusks are able to disperse and spread across different environments. Written by Harry Wallis Kew in 1893, this book explores the different physical and biological mechanisms that allow these mollusks to move and establish themselves in new habitats. Using detailed observations and experiments, Kew examines the role of water currents, wind, animals, and other factors in the dispersal of shells. He also discusses the impact of human activities on the distribution and abundance of mollusks, and provides insights into the ecological and evolutionary significance of their dispersal patterns. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the biology, ecology, and conservation of mollusks, as well as the broader field of animal dispersal and biogeography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
