Invertebrate Zoology: A Tree of Life Approach is a great choice for anyone who wants to know more about the phylogenetic organisation of invertebrate life.

What does this book cover? 

This edition of Invertebrate Zoology: A Tree of Life Approach contains all of the morphological and anatomical references as earlier editions, but has a stronger emphasis on reorganising the phylogenetic relationships between different invertebrate lineages. It strives to synthesise the ideas of evo-devo studies, sequencing data and classical morphology.

Important features of Invertebrate Zoology: A Tree of Life Approach include:

• Digital resources such as web links, lecture slides, and phylogenetic data matrices
• An overview of systematic analysis which can be applied to any topic touching upon biodiversity
• Invertebrate phylogeny according to the latest developments in taxonomy
• Applications of evo-devo and next-gen sequencing approaches to classic morphology

About the Authors  

Rob DeSalle is a part of the American Museum of Natural History’s Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics. His research specialties are biodiversity and bioinformatics. Bernd Schierwater works at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover’s Institute of Animal Ecology and Cell Biology. There, he is working with next-generation biomonitoring techniques.

In Invertebrate Zoology, they work together to deliver the resources students need to understand the principles of materials engineering, analysis and design.
