Book Description
This book provides an overview of the XI International Congress on Medical and Applied Malacology: “Crossing Boundaries: Integrative Approaches to Malacology”. The event was held at the State University of Rio de Janeiro between the 25th and 29th of September 2012. A number of the plenary lecturers from the conference were invited to contribute their papers to these proceedings, as were speakers whose papers were eligible for student awards. The volume contains articles on bioprospecting methods; medical malacology; aquaculture; biomonitoring; alien species; reproductive and developmental biology; interdisciplinary teaching and education; and trends in malacological research. The information contained here will convey to the general public the importance of mollusks to human and animal health, as well as their applications in various areas of knowledge.

Book Description
Malacology refers to the study of molluscs, and is a sub-discipline of invertebrate zoology. After the arthropods, molluscs form the second-largest division of animals in terms of described species. It includes snails, slugs, clams, octopuses, squids and numerous other invertebrates, many of which have shells. Taxonomy, ecology and evolution are the prominent areas of research within the scope of malacology. It is also employed by archaeology to understand the evolution of the climate, the biota of the area and the usage of the site. Medical, veterinary and agricultural applications of molluscs are studied in applied malacology. Recent studies in the field focuses on the medicinal uses and conservation of molluscs. This book unravels the current studies in the field of organismal and molecular malacology. The various sub-fields of malacology along with scientific progress that have future implications are glanced at herein. This book is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.
