After a review of the islands' oceanographic and geologic settings, contributions utilize a taxonomic approach to explore: the genera and species of shallow-water invertebrates, biogeographic affinities, factors controlling the occurrence of species in the islands, localities and habitats, and evolutionary relationships with species in other parts of the world. The volume focuses exclusively on marine invertebrate fauna, with the exception of a chapter on land snails, which rounds out coverage of the phylum Mollusca. eng
