Armed and Armored: The Amazing Evolutionary Story of the Crustaceans
Crustaceans, with their hard, protective outer skeleton and highly specialized limbs, are truly evolutionary wonders. Join Scripps Oceanography marine biologist Jennifer Taylor as she describes her research on crustacean biomechanics and tells us how 500 million years of evolution has shaped crustaceans into the remarkable array of animals we see on Earth today.
Jennifer Taylor is an assistant professor in the Marine Biology Research Division at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego.
