Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of undergraduate texts in invertebrate zoology (of which there are many) fall into one of two categories. They either offer a systematic treatment of groups of animals phylum by phylum, or adopt a functional approach to the various anatomical and physiological systems of the better known species. The Invertebrates is the first and only textbook to integrate both approaches and thus meet the modern teaching needs of the subject. This is the only invertebrate textbook to integrate systematics and functional approaches. The molecular systematics sections have been completely updated for the new edition. Strong evolutionary theme which reflects the importance of molecular techniques throughout. Distills the essential characteristics of each invertebrate group and lists diagnostic features to allow comparisons between phyla. New phyla have been added for the new edition. Stresses comparisons in physiology, reproduction and development. 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.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 for the invertebrates. The second edition of Janet Moore's An Introduction to the Invertebrates fills this gap by providing a short updated guide to the invertebrate phyla, looking at their diverse forms, functions and evolutionary relationships. This book first introduces evolution and modern 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 explains uses of molecular evidence and presents 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Courses on the invertebrates have two principal aims: (1) to introduce students to the diversity of animal life and (2) to make them aware that organisms are marvellously integrated systems with evolutionary pasts and ecological presents. This text is concerned exclusively with the second aim and assumes that the reader will already know something about the diversity and classification of invertebrates. Concepts of whole-organism function, metabolism and adaptation form the core of the subject-matter and this is also considered in an ecological setting. Hence, the approach is multi-disciplinary, drawing from principles normally restricted to comparative morphology and physiology, ecology and evolutionary biology. Invertebrate courses, as with all others in a science curriculum, also have another aim - to make students aware of the general methods of science. And these I take to be associated with the so-calledhypothetico deductive programme. Here, therefore, I make a conscious effort to formulate simple, some might say naive, hypotheses and to confront them with quantitative data from the real world. There are, for example, as many graphs in the book as illustrations of animals. My aim, though, has not been to test out the principles of Darwinism, but rather to sharpen our focus on physiological adaptations, given the assumption that Darwinism is approximately correct. Whether or not I succeed remains for the reader to decide.

Download or read book Animal Forms written by David S. Jordan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Forms: A Text-Book of Zoology The present volume is designed to meet the needs of the beginning student of zoology. Accordingly, technical and scientific names have been avoided as far as possible, and those used are fully explained in the text or elsewhere. The opening chapters deal with the characteristics of living things, and, in contrasting animals and plants, attempt to bring into relief the distinguishing marks of all animals. Then follows a discussion of the cell and protoplasm, preparing the way for the examination of a series of animals representative of each of the great groups, from the simplest to the most complex. These are considered from the view-point of structure; but considerable attention is also paid to the functions of their parts, to their habits and life-history, so that while the representatives examined are, for the sake of simplicity, relatively few in number, they are, it is believed, thoroughly typical. Hence, with a knowledge of the facts presented, the student should have a broad view of the animal kingdom, and a foundation on which to base future study and observation. It is perhaps unnecessary to add that from the study of books alone no one can really make such knowledge his own.
