Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding where and how invertebrates live, reproduce, and develop continues to be a growing fascination to those in scientific, economic, environmental, and health-related fields. The Invertebrate Reproduction and Development fills the need for an updated reference that outlines essential information concerning all of the generally recognized phyla. It provides readers with an overview of the major reproductive and developmental strategies employed throughout the animal kingdom. Invertebrate Reproduction and Development, covers the reproductive and developmental biology of invertebrates in a manner that is straightforward and comprehensible. Researchers and instructors in the fields of morphology, developmental biology, and invertebrate biology will all be reminded of how the study of invertebrates has led the way in attempting to understand the mechanisms by which life is defined and propagated. After a brief historical overview that identifies the conceptual underpinnings of invertebrate zoology and embryology, the book discuss oogenesis, spermatogenesis, fertilization, and embryonic development. Besides this book also depicts about phylogenetically to encompass annelids, priapulans, molluscs, bryozoans, and echinoderms-covers larval morphology and evolution.

The text has been rewritten and completely reorganized, and now includes the first cladistic analysis of all the invertebrate phyla, as well as newly discovered phyla and classes.
Download or read book The Invertebrates written by R. S. K. Barnes and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-04-13 with total page 507 pages. 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.'
Download or read book Invertebrate Zoology written by Donald Thomas Anderson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of Invertebrate Zoology offered undergraduates studying the biology and evolution of invertebrate animals a new approach to the subject. While the text of the second edition has been revised significantly, the original format has been maintained and enhanced. The chapters, written by expert authors, provide contemporary accounts of the functional, physiological, and reproductive biology of the invertebrate phyla. The final chapter of the book reviews modern interpretations of the phylogeny of invertebrates, based on cladistic and molecular evidence. The study of invertebrates has advanced rapidly in recent years, and several major changes are highlighted in this new edition. Separate chapters now reflect the recognition that the former 'aschelminths' include two disparate groups of phyle, a protostome group related to annelids and molluscs, and an ecdysozoan group related to arthropods. All classifications have been updated, and the relationships among the phyla have been further clarified. Generously illustrated throughout, and with an emphasis on readability and clear presentation, this book will be a valuable resource for all students of invertebrate zoology as well as those involved in current advances in the biological sciences.

Download or read book Invertebrate Zoology written by Bernd Schierwater and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview of invertebrate organismal zoology (IZ), defining invertebrates as any multicellular organism without a backbone (excluding plants and Fungi). While there are many IZ textbooks on the market, few combine the classical anatomical information with the newer genome level DNA sequence data and evo-devo data for teaching purposes. This book documents the latest research in these areas and combines it with classical information, giving students a unique opportunity to learn the biology of these organisms. Key selling features: Combines classical morphological approaches and newer evo-devo and next generation sequencing approaches to address invertebrate zoology (first book to do so) Presents information along taxonomic lines in accord with the latest understanding of invertebrate phylogeny Includes the latest data matrices on a website available for student use in learning newer analytical techniques Contains chapter-ending questions that reinforce the study of invertebrate evolution Provides background in basic systematic analysis, useful within any study of biodiversity

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most up-to-date book on invertebrates, providing a new framework for understanding their place in the tree of life In The Invertebrate Tree of Life, Gonzalo Giribet and Gregory Edgecombe, leading authorities on invertebrate biology and paleontology, utilize phylogenetics to trace the evolution of animals from their origins in the Proterozoic to today. Phylogenetic relationships between and within the major animal groups are based on the latest molecular analyses, which are increasingly genomic in scale and draw on the soundest methods of tree reconstruction. Giribet and Edgecombe evaluate the evolution of animal organ systems, exploring how current debates about phylogenetic relationships affect the ways in which aspects of invertebrate nervous systems, reproductive biology, and other key features are inferred to have developed. The authors review the systematics, natural history, anatomy, development, and fossil records of all major animal groups, employing seminal historical works and cutting-edge research in evolutionary developmental biology, genomics, and advanced imaging techniques. Overall, they provide a synthetic treatment of all animal phyla and discuss their relationships via an integrative approach to invertebrate systematics, anatomy, paleontology, and genomics. With numerous detailed illustrations and phylogenetic trees, The Invertebrate Tree of Life is a must-have reference for biologists and anyone interested in invertebrates, and will be an ideal text for courses in invertebrate biology. A must-have and up-to-date book on invertebrate biology Ideal as both a textbook and reference Suitable for courses in invertebrate biology Richly illustrated with black-and-white and color images and abundant tree diagrams Written by authorities on invertebrate evolution and phylogeny Factors in the latest understanding of animal genomics and original fossil material

Download or read book Evolutionary Developmental Biology of Invertebrates 4 written by Andreas Wanninger and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-10 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multi-author, six-volume work summarizes our current knowledge on the developmental biology of all major invertebrate animal phyla. The main aspects of cleavage, embryogenesis, organogenesis and gene expression are discussed in an evolutionary framework. Each chapter presents an in-depth yet concise overview of both classical and recent literature, supplemented by numerous color illustrations and micrographs of a given animal group. The largely taxon-based chapters are supplemented by essays on topical aspects relevant to modern-day EvoDevo research such as regeneration, embryos in the fossil record, homology in the age of genomics and the role of EvoDevo in the context of reconstructing evolutionary and phylogenetic scenarios. A list of open questions at the end of each chapter may serve as a source of inspiration for the next generation of EvoDevo scientists. Evolutionary Developmental Biology of Invertebrates is a must-have for any scientist, teacher or student interested in developmental and evolutionary biology as well as in general invertebrate zoology. This second volume on ecdysozoans covers all animals commonly known as crustaceans. While “Crustacea” is currently not considered a monophylum, it still appears reasonable to combine its representatives in one joint volume due to their numerous shared morphological and developmental characteristics. Because of the huge variation in the amount of available developmental data between the various taxa, only the Dendrobranchiata, Astacida and Cirripedia are treated in individual chapters. The remaining data on crustacean development, usually incomplete and often patchy, is presented in two chapters summarizing early development and larval diversity, thereby also taking into account the data on fossil larval forms.

Download or read book Laboratory Exercises in Invertebrate Zoology written by Alan Holyoak and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cost of textbooks and laboratory support materials has skyrocketed over the past few decades. A new copy of a laboratory manual in invertebrate zoology published by a textbook company can now cost over $100/copy. In my opinion this is just too expensive, especially when such a lab manual may be woefully out of date. That's why I developed a set of exercises several years ago to support my course in invertebrate zoology. When I learned about the CreateSpace self-publishing service I decided to make these exercises more broadly available (1st edition, 2013). In the meantime I solicited feedback from users and worked to review and update materials in these exercises in light of recent developments in the field.The 3rd Edition of Invertebrates by Brusca, et al. was released in winter 2016 and I decided to update all taxonomies and related material in the second edition of this set of laboratory exercises to conform with information in that textbook.This new edition includes a significant changes and improvements in many areas including the following:1) 82 pages of new material 2) 71 new figures (169 figures total)3) 46 links to supplemental video material on the anatomy or behavior of invertebrates4) A glossary of terms at the end of each chapter5) Updated and expanded taxonomic information for all groups following Invertebrates, 3rd Ed, by Brusca, et al., (2016) 6) Tables listing defining characteristics for major taxa are included in each chapter7) Inclusion of word roots/word meanings for many taxonomic names8) A taxonomic index replaces the cumbersome index of the 1st edition 9) Addition of a procedure for calibrating and using an ocular micrometer to the chapter on microscopy10) Replacement of the old overly complicated exercise on cladistics with a new streamlined exercise11) Addition of an entirely new chapter on Domain Eukarya including life cycles of pathogens. This chapter includes an introduction to Group Amoebozoa, Group Chromalveolata, Group Rhizaria, Group Excavata and Group Opisthokonta12) Addition or expansion of exercises on corals and siphonophores to the chapter on Cnidarians13) Addition of Phylum Ctenophora to the lab manual14) Addition of a larger number of nematode representatives, including Tubatrix and the pathogens Trichinella, Wuchereria, Enterobius, Dracunculus and Dirofilaria including their life cycles to the chapter on Phylum Nematoda 15) Addition of tardigrades, onychophorans and pycnogonids to the chapter on Panarthropoda17) New and expanded material on arachnids and myriapods in the chapter on Panarthropoda16) Addition of ophiuroids to the chapter on echinoderms.And, the price is still set with students in mind at only $20/copy for a hard copy version and even less for a Kindle version.
