Covering 100 years of zoological research, the Handbook of Zoology
represents a vast store of knowledge. Handbook of Zoology provides
an in-depth treatment of the entire animal kingdom covering both
invertebrates and vertebrates. It publishes comprehensive overviews
on animal systematics and morphology and covers extensively further
aspects like physiology, behavior, ecology and applied zoological
research. Although our knowledge regarding many taxonomic groups
has grown enormously over the last decades, it is still the
objective of the Handbook of Zoology to be comprehensive in the
sense that text and references together provide a solid basis for
further research. Editors and authors seek a balance between
describing species richness and diversity, explaining the
importance of certain groups in a phylogenetic context and
presenting a review of available knowledge and up-to-date
references. New contributions to the series present the combined
effort of an international team of editors and authors, entirely
published in English and tailored to the needs of the international
scientific community. Upcoming volumes and projects in progress
include volumes on Annelida (Volumes 1-3), Bryozoa, Mammalia,
Miscellaneous Invertebrates, Nannomecoptera, Neomecoptera and
Strepsiptera and are followed later by fishes, reptiles and further
volumes on mammals. Background The renowned German reference work
Handbook of Zoology was founded in the 1920's by Professor Willi
Kukenthal in Berlin and treated the complete animal kingdom from
single cell organisms to mammals in eight thematic volumes: Volume
I Protozoa, Porifera, Colenteratea, Mesozoa (1925); Volume II
Vermes (1933/34); Volume III Arthropoda ex. Insecta (1927/1932);
Volume IV Arthropoda: Insecta; Volume V Solenogastres, Mollusca,
Echinoderma (1925); Volume VI Pisces / Amphibia (1930); Volume VII
Reptilia / Aves (1931); Volume VIII Mammalia. The Volumes IV
Arthropoda: Insecta and VII Mammalia continued publication into the
present with the most recent contributions in English language.
Adapting to the accelerating speed of scientific discovery in the
past decades the Handbook of Zoology entered a next phase in 2010.
In the new edition of the Handbook of Zoology, the original eight
thematic volumes gave way for smaller and more flexible groupings
that reflect the current state of phylogenetic knowledge. All
subsequent volumes were published in print as well as e-book
format. The Handbook of Zoology is additionally offered as a
database, the Handbook of Zoology Online, which can easily be
searched and rapidly updated. Original Handbook material (ca. 28
000 pages) has been reordered along taxonomic (instead of
bibliographical) categories and forms the historical basis of this
Online Reference Work. As a living Online Reference, the content is
continuously updated and new content added. The material can be
accessed through taxonomic and subject categories as well as free
text, with a diversity of linking and search options. Faster
publication times through online-first publication, reference- and
cross-linking, and make the Handbook of Zoology highly attractive
to both authors and users.
