      Schierwater, B., & DeSalle, R. (2021). Invertebrate Zoology: A Tree of Life Approach (1st ed.). CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/9780429159053

      ABSTRACT

      Invertebrate Zoology: A Tree of Life Approach is a comprehensive and authoritative textbook adopting an explicitly phylogenetic organization. Most of the classical anatomical and morphological work has not been changed – it established the foundation of Invertebrate Zoology. With the explosion of Next-Generation Sequencing approaches, there has been a sea-change in the recognized phylogenetic relationships among and between invertebrate lineages. In addition, the merger of evolutionary and developmental biology (evo-devo) has dramatically contributed to changes in the understanding of invertebrate biology. Synthesizing these three approaches (classical morphology, sequencing data, and evo-devo studies) offers students an entirely unique perspective of invertebrate diversity.

      Key Features

      • One of the first textbooks to combine classical morphological approaches and newer evo-devo and Next-Generation Sequencing approaches to address Invertebrate Zoology
      • Organized along taxonomic lines in accord with the latest understanding of invertebrate phylogeny
      • Will provide background in basic systematic analysis useful within any study of biodiversity
      • A wealth of ancillary materials for students and teachers, including downloadable figures, lecture slides, web links, and phylogenetic data matrices
