Invertebrate Zoology
Invertebrate Zoology: A Tree of Life Approach is a comprehensive and authoritative textbook adopting an explicitly phylogenetic organization. Much of the classical anatomical and morphological work remains unchanged, establishing the foundation of Invertebrate Zoology. With the advent of Next-Generation Sequencing approaches, there has been a profound shift in the recognized phylogenetic relationships among and between invertebrate lineages. Furthermore, the integration of evolutionary and developmental biology (evo-devo) has dramatically enhanced the understanding of invertebrate biology. By synthesising these three approaches—classical morphology, sequencing data, and evo-devo studies—the book offers students a unique perspective on invertebrate diversity.
Key Features
- Combines classical morphological approaches with newer evo-devo and Next-Generation Sequencing methods to address Invertebrate Zoology.
- Organised along taxonomic lines in accord with the latest understanding of invertebrate phylogeny.
- Provides foundational knowledge in basic systematic analysis useful in any study of biodiversity.
- Includes a wealth of ancillary materials for students and teachers, such as downloadable figures, lecture slides, web links, and phylogenetic data matrices.
