Dispersal Of Shells: An Inquiry Into The Means Of Dispersal Possessed By Freshwater And Land Mollusca (1893)

""The Dispersal of Shells: An Inquiry into the Means of Dispersal Possessed by Freshwater and Land Mollusca"" is a scientific book written by Harry Wallis Kew in 1893. The book explores the various ways in which freshwater and land mollusks disperse and spread across different habitats. Kew delves into the physical and biological mechanisms that enable the movement of these creatures, including their ability to float, crawl, and hitchhike on other animals or objects. The book also discusses the role of human activity in the dispersal of mollusks, such as through the transportation of goods and the introduction of non-native species. Kew's research provides a comprehensive understanding of the dispersal of mollusks and sheds light on the ecological and evolutionary processes that shape the distribution of these creatures. The book is an essential resource for biologists, ecologists, and anyone interested in the study of mollusks and their behavior.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
