This best-selling dictionary is the most comprehensive and up to
date of its kind, containing over 6,000 entries on all aspects of
zoology. Complemented by numerous illustrations, it includes terms
from the areas of ecology, animal behaviour, evolution, earth
history, zoogeography, genetics, and physiology and provides full
taxonomic coverage of arthropods, other invertebrates, fish,
reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. The fourth edition has
been fully revised and updated and includes many new entries, for
example, activational effects of hormones, aqueous humour,
deprivation studies, immunization, and Psocoptera. It also features
new terms from anatomy and physiology, biomechanics,
neurophysiology, immunology, and evolutionary development.
Recommended web links can be accessed via the Dictionary of Zoology
companion website and provide valuable extra information by
directing you to useful online resources and the homepages of
relevant organizations. Detailed appendices include a list of
endangered animals, the universal genetic code, the geologic time
scale, SI units, and a taxonomic classification scheme based on the
three-domain taxonomic system. Wide-ranging, authoritative, and
with jargon-free definitions, this dictionary is an indispensable
reference tool for students and teachers of zoology, biological
sciences, and biomedical sciences, and a valuable resource for
naturalists and anyone with an interest in animals.
