How dispersal affects the geographic ranges of species is a controversial issue. This book describes the conspicuous, colourful, and ecologically important snail genus Conus, and provides what is probably the best and most extensive data set of life parameters available for any tropical invertebrate taxon. The conclusions drawn are likely to apply to many coral-reef invertebrates, and are of considerable significance for marine biogeographers, comparativebiologists, ecologists, and all...
