Locomotion and Energetics in Arthropods

Locomotion and Energetics in Arthropods edited by Clyde F. Herreid.

At the 1980 Christmas meetings of the American Society of zoologists in Seattle, Washington, the Division of Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry sponsored a symposium on the locomo­ tion and exercise of arthropods. This book is an outgrowth of that symposium. To our knowledge, the symposium and...
