Synopsis
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.

Book Description
A short, user-friendly guide to these often neglected animal groups, Introduction to the Invertebrates discusses the evolution, form and habits of all the major invertebrate groups. Clear and concise text and numerous line drawings spread throughout, aid understanding of form and function, whilst text-boxes highlight more technical additional information. This guide also shows how molecular techniques, combined with older methods can elucidate the evolutionary relationships between the different invertebrate groups. It will form an excellent introduction to the basics of invertebrate evolution and biology for all undergraduate biology students.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Overhill, Raith (illustrator). So much has to be crammed into today's biology courses that basic information on animal groups and their evolutionary origins is often left out. This is particularly true of invertebrates, where most of the texts available are too large for the typical short introductory course. This volume fills the gap. An Introduction to the Invertebrates is a short guide to the invertebrate phyla, looking at their diverse forms, functions and evolutionary relationships. This book first introduces evolution and molecular methods of tracing it, then considers 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. The final chapter combines fossil and molecular evidence to present an up-to-date view of evolutionary history, giving a more certain definition of the relationships between invertebrates. This user-friendly and well-illustrated introduction will be invaluable for all those studying invertebrates. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001764746
