Zoogeography Of The Sea PDF Download

"This work is invaluable in its field as there is no substitute. It organizes our knowledge of the distribution of marine animals into a comprehensive animal geography. It is an analysis of the phenomena by investigating the intimate interaction between the physiology of the animal and its external environment. The task of zoogeography is to use the results obtained by palaeozoology, palaeogeography and palaeoclimatology to clarify the origin and history of the various faunas in their several distributions. In other words it sets the faunas in their global context of geological history. On such basic principles the author has treated the faunas of the various marine regions."--
