Summary

"Recent biodiversity studies, reported here for the first time, have shown that the molluscan fauna of the Gulf of Mexico is far richer and more complex than previously thought. The Gulf malacofauna is shown to contain large numbers of endemic species. These species are illustrated here on 132 color plates and are discussed in detail in the individual chapters. The emphasis on endemic species and species complexes underscores the special nature of the Gulf of Mexico malacofauna, setting it aside from all others in the Tropical Western Atlantic Region"-- Provided by publisher.
