Spineless: Status and Trends of the World's Invertebrates

Compiled by leading invertebrate experts on the status and trends of the world's invertebrates; this report highlights the vital role which invertebrates play in ecosystem, provisioning, and regulatory services. An example of their huge economic importance is the predicted loss of $100 million to fisheries by 2015 if the current trend in coral reef degradation continues.
