Invertebrates (Fourth Edition)

 Invertebrates is a complete, trusted, and engaging textbook whose comprehensive coverage makes it an invaluable resource for both undergraduate and graduate courses and professional researchers. The 4th edition will continue to feature recent scholarship and current perspectives, while streamlining the text to improve accessibility for intro-level students. Gonzalo Giribet joins as coauthor, contributing his phylogenomic expertise as an Evolutionary Biologist and Phylogeneticist, and Director of Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology.

This edition retains the popular aspects of previous editions, but is substantially shorter in length.  Detailed classifications and taxonomic synopses within each phylum are provided. These are to be used as a reference to look up taxonomic names, understand the traits that distinguish groups, or get an overall sense of the scope of the higher taxa in a phylum.  Invertebrates is the only college textbook on the subject that is in full color
