商品描述
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.
Key selling features:
- Combines classical morphological approaches and newer evo-devo and next generation sequencing approaches to address invertebrate zoology (first book to do so)
- Presents information along taxonomic lines in accord with the latest understanding of invertebrate phylogeny
- Includes the latest data matrices on a website available for student use in learning newer analytical techniques
- Contains chapter-ending questions that reinforce the study of invertebrate evolution
- Provides background in basic systematic analysis, useful within any study of biodiversity
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了無脊椎動物生物學(IZ)的全面概述,將無脊椎動物定義為任何沒有脊椎的多細胞生物(不包括植物和真菌)。雖然市場上有許多無脊椎動物生物學的教科書,但很少有書籍將傳統的解剖學資訊與較新的基因組層級DNA序列數據和演化發展(evo-devo)數據結合起來以供教學之用。本書記錄了這些領域的最新研究,並將其與傳統資訊相結合,為學生提供了學習這些生物學的獨特機會。
主要銷售特點:
- 結合傳統形態學方法和較新的演化發展及下一代測序方法來探討無脊椎動物生物學(首本這樣做的書籍)
- 根據最新的無脊椎動物系統發生學理解,沿著分類學的脈絡呈現資訊
- 包含最新的數據矩陣,並提供網站供學生使用,以學習較新的分析技術
- 包含章節結尾的問題,加強對無脊椎動物演化的學習
- 提供基本系統分析的背景,對於任何生物多樣性的研究都很有用
