The majority of undergraduate texts in invertebrate zoology (ofwhich there are many) fall into one of two categories. They eitheroffer a systematic treatment of groups of animals phylum by phylum,or adopt a functional approach to the various anatomical andphysiological systems of the better known species. TheInvertebrates is the first and only textbook to integrate bothapproaches and thus meet the modern teaching needs of the subject.
* * This is the only invertebrate textbook to integrate systematicsand functional approaches.
* The molecular systematics sections have been completely updatedfor the new edition.
* Strong evolutionary theme which reflects the importance ofmolecular techniques throughout.
* Distills the essential characteristics of each invertebrategroup and lists diagnostic features to allow comparisons betweenphyla. New phyla have been added for the new edition.
* Stresses comparisons in physiology, reproduction anddevelopment.
* Improved layout and illustration quality.
* Second edition has sold 14000 copies.
Nature of the first edition:
'Students will like this book. It deserves to succeed.'
