Integrating morphology, ecology, evolution, and behavior, this book explores the diverse world of sea snails, detailing their adaptations for defense, locomotion, nutrition, and reproduction. It begins with general characteristics of mollusks, then delves into the unique traits of gastropods. The text covers both primitive and advanced sea snail groups, including limpets, brush snails, and sea slugs, while also discussing their cultural significance. Accompanied by over 200 illustrations, it serves as a valuable resource for marine biologists, educators, and naturalists alike.
