Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Morphology of Invertebrate Types Owing to the rapid advance of Experimental Zoology, the older branches of morphological study such as Comparative Anatomy and Embryology, have been left in the background. In order to acquire familiarity with modern methods and problems, it became necessary to curtail the time allotted to Morphology. As a natural consequence the laboratory guides in general use in this country are more elementary than is desirable. The result has proved in many ways unsatisfactory. The student is left with only a superficial knowledge of the structure, life and development of those very animals which in his later studies he is going to use for experiments. But the high tide in Experimental Zoology has been reached and passed. A general tendency to return to morphological studies is manifest in recent years in the great increase in the number of papers dwelling upon the anatomy of invertebrates. It seems, therefore, desirable to place in the hands of the student, a manual which will enable him to lay the foundation for a knowledge of invertebrate anatomy. The usual method of teaching this subject consists in having the student dissect a series of types, but while doing this he is supposed to pay attention only to structures of a general character and to skip details. This method is open to grave criticism. Generalization should come as the result of extended observation. If we substitute generalization for observation, we do the student's work for him and defeat our own end. By this I do not mean to say that the student should be offered only a knowledge of minute facts and left to his own resources to sift the material and draw conclusions. On the contrary!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Invertebrate Morphology The Morphology of Invertebrate Animals may be treated either from the standpoint of Comparative Anatomy or from the zoological side, and either method of treatment has much to recommend it. In my experience, however, the zoological method has proved most satisfactory for the presentation of the subject to students, inasmuch as it is necessarily the method employed in the laboratory, and accordingly in the present work that plan of presenting the facts of morphology has been followed. A bare statement of the structural peculiarities of the various groups, however, is simply collecting the bricks and stones without the mortar necessary to unite them together into a substantial edifice, and where the opportunity has presented itself attention has been directed to the comparative significance of various organs and to the affinities of the various groups. A word is perhaps necessary in regard to the classification adopted,which presents many radical changes from the schemes usually employed. For the larger groups, following the example of Claus, the term type has been employed, and no less than twelve of these types are adopted. This increased number has resulted from a division of two groups usually recognized, namely, the Vermes and the Arthropod. As regards the former it has long been acknowledged to be a heterogeneous collection, and its retention is to be regarded as a survival. It is true that the forms assigned to it do present certain phylogenetic affinities; but if this is to be the reason for its retention, then the Mollusca and Prosopygia (Molluscoidoa) should also be assigned to it. It has seemed more satisfactory to retain the Mollusca and Prosopygia as distinct groups, and to divide the Vermes into several types, such as the Platyhelmiuthes, Neinathelminthes, and Annelida, each of the same rank as the Mollusca, and presenting approximately similar degrees of affinity among themselves.

Download or read book Invertebrate Zoology written by Bernd Schierwater and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invertebrate Zoology: A Tree of Life Approach is a comprehensive and authoritative textbook adopting an explicitly phylogenetic organization. Most of the classical anatomical and morphological work has not been changed – it established the foundation of Invertebrate Zoology. With the explosion of Next-Generation Sequencing approaches, there has been a sea-change in the recognized phylogenetic relationships among and between invertebrate lineages. In addition, the merger of evolutionary and developmental biology (evo-devo) has dramatically contributed to changes in the understanding of invertebrate biology. Synthesizing these three approaches (classical morphology, sequencing data, and evo-devo studies) offers students an entirely unique perspective of invertebrate diversity. Key Features One of the first textbooks to combine classical morphological approaches and newer evo-devo and Next-Generation Sequencing approaches to address Invertebrate Zoology Organized along taxonomic lines in accord with the latest understanding of invertebrate phylogeny Will provide background in basic systematic analysis useful within any study of biodiversity A wealth of ancillary materials for students and teachers, including downloadable figures, lecture slides, web links, and phylogenetic data matrices

Download or read book Functional Morphology of the Invertebrate Skeleton written by Enrico Savazzi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1999-05-04 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Functional morphology is the relationship between the form and the function of an organism, seen in an adaptive and evolutionary context. This book deals with the functional morphology of the invertebrate skeleton, and concentrates on the taxonomic groups that are of greatest interest to the palaeontologist. Coverage of a broad variety of fossil as well as living invertebrates is included. Each group is treated by a specialist, providing a thorough and up-to-date review of the field. In addition to this general treatment, several short sections deal with topical and detailed observations that are seldom covered in a general text. The book also contains extensive coverage of theoretical, experimental and practical aspects of research in functional morphology, including field and laboratory techniques, computer modelling and even illustration techniques. Functional Morphology of the Invertebrate Skeleton provides a thorough introduction and overview of the subject for the professional palaeontologist and biologist. It is sufficiently generic and comprehensive to be used as a student textbook and its up-to-date coverage of the latest research constitutes a much needed shelf reference and modern review of the field.

This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invertebrates have proven to be extremely useful model systems for gaining insights into the neural and molecular mechanisms of sensory processing, motor control and higher functions such as feeding behavior, learning and memory, navigation, and social behavior. A major factor in their enormous contributions to neuroscience is the relative simplicity of invertebrate nervous systems. In addition, some invertebrates, primarily the molluscs, have large cells, which allow analyses to take place at the level of individually identified neurons. Individual neurons can be surgically removed and assayed for expression of membrane channels, levels of second messengers, protein phosphorylation, and RNA and protein synthesis. Moreover, peptides and nucleotides can be injected into individual neurons. Other invertebrate model systems such as Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans offer tremendous advantages for obtaining insights into the neuronal bases of behavior through the application of genetic approaches. The Oxford Handbook of Invertebrate Neurobiology reviews the many neurobiological principles that have emerged from invertebrate analyses, such as motor pattern generation, mechanisms of synaptic transmission, and learning and memory. It also covers general features of the neurobiology of invertebrate circadian rhythms, development, and regeneration and reproduction. Some neurobiological phenomena are species-specific and diverse, especially in the domain of the neuronal control of locomotion and camouflage. Thus, separate chapters are provided on the control of swimming in annelids, crustaea and molluscs, locomotion in hexapods, and camouflage in cephalopods. Unique features of the handbook include chapters that review social behavior and intentionality in invertebrates. A chapter is devoted to summarizing past contributions of invertebrates to the understanding of nervous systems and identifying areas for future studies that will continue to advance that understanding.
