Sea Slugs of the Red Sea By Nathalie YonowPublisher: Pen,.,soft Pub 3119 | 316 Pages | ISBN: 9666633391 | PDF | 69 MB This book brings together, for the first time, all known information on the species of sea slugs of the Red Sea, belonging to 331 genera and 63 families. An overview of the group includes discussions on taxonomy, distribution, bionomics, habitats, and ecology. An introductory chapter describes in detail the history of studies on the opisthobranchs of the Red Sea, and includes a section reproducing the old engravings, most which have never been seen since their original publication. The book is excellently illustrated by nearly 611 photos of living animals in their natural habitats, representing 399 species, many (61) of which are depicted for the first time.This book will be of interest to marine biologists, systematists, ecologists, divers and all lovers of the incredible biodiversity of the Red Sea. Dr. Nathalie Yonow has been studying opisthobranchs for over 31 years, following an obsession with marine biology since a child living in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Greece, and Wales. She earned both her B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Swansea University (Wales, United Kingdom). Her undergraduate dissertation was on the marine biology of a small reef in Sri Lanka, including her first new species of opisthobranchs, and her Ph.D. thesis was on Acteon tornatilis, a primitive shelled cephalaspidean living on a local (Welsh!) sandy shore.She has since been invited on a number of expeditions collecting opisthobranchs from the Red Sea, Mauritius, and the Maldives, as well as being given other Indo-Pacific collections to work up - Ambon, Chagos, Socotra, Reunion, and the Persian Gulf. These form the substance of many publications, and are still on-going. Her first love is the Red Sea, and her research is based on her collections as well as additional specimens from museums and enthusiastic divers. Dr. Yonow has contributed sea slug chapters to a number of taxonomic publications from regions ranging from northern European to East African shores.Be Happy!!!!!!No Mirrors below, please!
