Stomatopods (p. 36) 
More than half of the sixty-two dif- 
ferent species of mantis shrimps de- 
scribed in R.B. Manning’s Stoma - 
topod Crustacea of the Western 
Atlantic (Coral Gables: University of 
Miami Press, 1969) were unknown in 
the western Atlantic fauna prior to 
this study. Part of the “Studies in 
Tropical Oceanography” series, this 
primary research work summarizes ex- 
isting knowledge of the region’s 
stomatopods, including distribution 
records, and contains a bibliography 
(pp. 350-71). “Geographic Range, 
Life History Patterns, and Body Size 
in a Guild of Coral-dwelling Mantis 
Shrimp,” by M.L. Reaka ( Evolution , 
vol. 34, pp. 1019-30), examines the 
relationship between body size and ex- 
tent of geographical range in coral- 
dwelling stomatopods. Based on stud- 
ies of their life history traits and on 
observation of catastrophic disturbance 
in shallow coral habitats, the author 
concludes that large species of hole- 
dwelling mantis shrimps disperse more 
widely and are relatively more oppor- 
tunistic colonizers than small species. 
Reaka analyzes the ecological and evo- 
lutionary consequences of molting in 
mantis shrimps in “Lunar and Tidal 
Periodicity of Molting and Reproduc- 
tion in Stomatopod Crustacea: A Self- 
ish Herd Hypothesis” ( The Biological 
Bulletin, vol. 150, pp. 468-90); she 
investigates stomatopod learning abil- 
ity and its relationship to behavior 
in her recent “On Learning and Living 
in Holes by Mantis Shrimp” ( Animal 
Behaviour, vol. 28, pp. 111-15). An 
illustrated overview of these shrimp- 
like creatures is R.L. Caldwell and 
H. Dingle’s “Stomatopods” ( Scientific 
American, January 1976, pp. 80-89), 
which includes information on pred- 
atory behavior, threat displays, attacks, 
and competitive ability. Other useful 
articles by Caldwell and Dingle in- 
clude “The Aggressive and Territorial 
Behavior of the Mantis Shrimp Gono- 
dactylus bredini Manning (Crustacea: 
Stomatopoda)” in Behavior (vol. 33,
