Treatise on Zoology
Volume 1

The Revised and Updated CRUSTACEA from the Traité de Zoologie

Editors: J. Forest and J.C. von Vaupel Klein

Editors: Advisory Editor: F.R. Schram

BRILL Academic Publishers is pleased to announce that with this edition, access to the texts of the famous Traité de Zoologie is now available to a worldwide readership. Parts 1, 2, and 3A of volume VII, i.e., the Crustacea, were published in French in, respectively, 1994, 1996, and 1999. BRILL Academic Publishers recognized the importance of these books and arranged for a translation to be made. However, some of the manuscripts dated from the early 1980s and it was clear from the beginning that in many fields of biology a mere translation of the existing text would not suffice. Thus, all chapters have been carefully reviewed, either by the original authors or by newly attracted specialists, and adequate updates have been prepared accordingly. As the current standard works on Crustacea in English (Th. Waterman's The Physiology of Crustacea, D.E. Bliss' The Biology of Crustacea, and F.R. Schram's Crustacea) date back from the 1960s through 80s, it seems obvious that the Crustacea published in this Treatise on Zoology will take over as a standard reference to the biology and systematics of the group for the next decades. The fact that the editor of the original French edition, J. Forest, could be contracted as a supervisor and editor for the current series, proved to be of great advantage. Thus, with J.C. von Vaupel Klein, the principal translator, and F.R. Schram as an advisor, these three well-known scientists have edited the new version in an attempt at meeting the demands and expectations of the carcinological world. We think they have succeeded.

In order to ensure availability of the new texts in an early stage, the series is planned to comprise at least eight volumes (of approx. 400 pp. each), based on the French parts hitherto published.
