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.
