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
