Summary:
"This book presents a comprehensive overview of invertebrate organismal zoology (IZ), defining invertebrates as any multicellular organism without a backbone (excluding plants and Fungi). While there are many IZ textbooks on the market, few combine the classical anatomical information with the newer genome level DNA sequence data and evo-devo data for teaching purposes. This book documents the latest research in these areas and combines it with classical information, giving students a unique opportunity to learn the biology of these organisms"-- Provided by publisher.
