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.
