Cover of Invertebrate zoology

Invertebrate zoology

This textbook offers a broad survey of invertebrate animals, organised by major groups rather than by a single theme. Its focus is on how each group's body is built and how it functions, with particular attention to adaptive structure and physiology. The authors also cover the basic body plans shared across the animal kingdom and the general patterns by which these animals develop from embryo to adult. Recent evolutionary research is incorporated throughout, linking anatomy and function to how these creatures diverged and changed over time.
