Annelids (the segmented worms) exist in a remarkably diverse range
of mostly marine but also freshwater and terrestrial habitats,
varying greatly in size and form. Annelida provides a fully updated
and expanded taxonomic reference work which broadens the scope of
the classic Polychaetes (OUP, 2001) to encompass wider groups
including Clitellata (comprising more than a third of total annelid
diversity), Sipuncula, and Thalassematidae (formerly Echiura). It
reflects the enormous amount of research on these organisms that
has burgeoned since the millennium, principally due to their use as
model organisms to address wider and more general evolutionary and
ecological questions. Beginning with a clear introduction to the
phylum and an outline of annelid taxonomy, this authoritative text
describes their collection, the methods to ensure their optimal
preservation, and an overview of anatomy with its relevant
terminology. The core of the work comprises 77 fully up-to-date
taxonomic chapters, informed by anatomy and the latest molecular
phylogenomic evidence and carefully organised based on a new,
robust phylogenetic hypothesis. Lavishly illustrated throughout
with hundreds of previously unpublished high-resolution colour
images and SEM micrographs, the sheer beauty and diversity of the
annelids is nowhere better presented. Annelida is the definitive
reference work for annelid biologists, whilst being of interest to
a broader audience of invertebrate zoologists, systematists, and
organismal biologists.
