图书简介
Richly illustrated, Oar Feet and Opal Teeth by Charles B. Miller introduces readers to free-living copepods. Copepods are small crustaceans found only in water. Although they play a critical role in maintaining ecological balance in lakes and oceans, most people are unfamiliar with them. In Oar Feet and Opal Teeth, Miller characterizes their shape, oar-like feet for escaping predators, and stone-like teeth. He also discusses copepods’ internal anatomy, life cycle variations, and how they capture food and avoid predators. In addition, Oar Feet and Opal Teeth features profiles of several leading copepodologists, providing insight into how scientists study these complex and fascinating animals.
