A Dictionary for Invertebrate Zoology

This reference work is the most comprehensive and up to date dictionary for invertebrate zoology currently available. Entries include invertebrate anatomy, biology, reproduction and a wide-ranging taxonomic coverage of the current thirty-seven invertebrate phyla down to the level of family in most cases, including numerous subfamilies and many species that are of particular interest. Each taxonomic entry allows to you to find the next higher and lower level. So you can ‘walk’ up and down through the hierarchy.

Invertebrate zoology is not studied in isolation and thus the 708 text pages contain over 21,200 entries covering many terms that one would normally come across from the related fields of Anatomy, Animal Behavior, Biochemistry, Cell Structure and Function, Cytology, Earth History, Ecology, Genetics, Physiology, Palaeontology, Taxonomy and Zoogeography.

Additionally, there is a brief introduction to scientific Latin and Greek and an appendix giving an outline classification of the animal kingdom.

This dictionary is the standard reference for students and will be invaluable to naturalists and all those with an interest in invertebrate

zoology.
