Book Summary
An Introduction to the Invertebrates is a short guide to the invertebrate phyla, looking at their diverse forms, functions, and evolutionary relationships. This book introduces evolution and the molecular methods of tracing it. The volume then discusses the distinctive body plan of each invertebrate phylum showing what has evolved, how the animals live, and how they develop. Boxes introduce physiological mechanisms and development. Finally the author combines fossil and molecular evidence to present an up-to-date view of evolutionary history, showing a better definition of the relationships among invertebrates. This user-friendly and well-illustrated introduction will be invaluable for all those studying invertebrates.
