Three colleagues were selected to represent all women  ichthyologists, \u003cstrong\u003eEthelwynn Trewavas\u003c\/strong\u003e (ET), \u003cstrong\u003eRosemary  Lowe-McConnell\u003c\/strong\u003e (Ro) and \u003cstrong\u003eEugenie Clark\u003c\/strong\u003e (Genie). All have had  distinguished professional careers and have contributed in their own  ways to their science. The career of each is highlighted by a personal  interview with one of the editors of the volume, a bibliography of  their lifetime publications, and a biography of their careers.  Questions of historical inequities and current controversies in the  treatment of women ichthyologists by their peers are raised and  addressed by the women themselves. The personal and professional  influences of these three women, and other women ichthyologists, are  highlighted. A survey article by Pat Brown brings a number of women  ichthyologists to the attention of a broader audience, and points the  way for a more comprehensive historical consideration of the  accomplishments and contributions of women ichthyologists. The volume  continues with 16 solicited and contributed papers. ET's studies of  taxonomy and life history are echoed in papers on the taxonomy and  systematics of marine angelfishes, and of freshwater bitterlings, a  review of reproduction in the North Atlantic ichthyofauna, and a  comparison of reproductive styles and systematics of African minnows.  Ro's studies on ecology, life history and behaviour are paralleled by  papers on growth and metabolism in piranha, the community structure in  tide pool fishes, and the social system and reproductive patterns in  groupers. Genie's pioneering work on sexual roles and sex change, and  her field studies of the behaviour of marine fishes are reflected in  papers on gonadal structure and environmental sex determination in  brook lamprey, sexual patterns in hawkfish, reproduction and  systematics in phallostethids, gonadal structure and systematics in  gobiids, reproductive and predator avoidance behaviour in razorfish,  early ontogeny of an African mouth brooder, and alternative life  histories in killifish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401040907\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0199-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279.0cm x210.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 456.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541637329036,"sku":"9789401040907","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401040907.jpg?v=1759288588","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401040907","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
