✦ Synopsis

This volume contains 34 papers presenting a very broad spectrum of approaches from classical morphological to applications of methods of molecular biology and from field observations to experiments elucidating the cause and effect relations. In more specific terms papers present new findings in phylogeny, taxonomy and biogeography, ecological genetics, feeding, growth, and reproduction, life histories and population dynamics including die1 activity competition and predator prey interactions, behavior and chemical cues influencing life history traits and community ecology including parasite host interaction and palaeolimnology.
