Learning in Crustacea

  • Chapter
Invertebrate Learning

Abstract

The Crustacea have been called the “water-breathing insects of the sea” (Schmitt, 1965). Although they have invaded both freshwater and terrestrial habitats, this description gives a reasonable intuitive feeling for many of the general behavioral and morphological characteristics of the class.

The author wishes to thank Alan Barnebey, Jeff Wine, and Joan Bryan for help in preparing this manuscript as well as for the use of their unpublished data. The chapter was prepared with the aid of USPHS Grant No. 2-ROI-NS-8108-04.
