The majority of undergraduate texts in invertebrate zoology (of
which there are many) fall into one of two categories. They either
offer a systematic treatment of groups of animals phylum by phylum,
or adopt a functional approach to the various anatomical and
physiological systems of the better known species. The
Invertebrates is the first and only textbook to integrate both
approaches and thus meet the modern teaching needs of the subject.
* * This is the only invertebrate textbook to integrate systematics
and functional approaches.
* The molecular systematics sections have been completely updated
for the new edition.
* Strong evolutionary theme which reflects the importance of
molecular techniques throughout.
* Distills the essential characteristics of each invertebrate
group and lists diagnostic features to allow comparisons between
phyla. New phyla have been added for the new edition.
* Stresses comparisons in physiology, reproduction and
development.
* Improved layout and illustration quality.
* Second edition has sold 14000 copies.

‘Students will like this book. It deserves to succeed.’
