Rezensionen

"This volume is a stunning compendium of knowledge about Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) reefs ... . It is also a sumptuous field guide to the system for any naturalist-diver planning a visit to the region." (Phillip Dustan, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 94 (3), 2019)
"Each chapter includes a short abstract, chapter contents (with tables and illustrations-many in color), a short summary, and a bibliography. ... The book is written for the advanced graduate student or researcher, but many of the chapters are suitable for the general reader. ... Summing Up: Recommended. All readers, but particularly for graduate students, researchers, and faculty." (L. T. Spencer, Choice, Vol. 54 (8), April, 2017)
