Introduction to the biology of invertebrates is highly regarded for its accuracy and strong research base. This thorough revision provides a survey by animal group, emphasizing evolutionary origins, adaptive morphology and physiology, while covering anatomical ground plans and basic developmental patterns. New co-author Richard Fox brings to the revision his expertise as an ecologist, offering a good balance to Ruppert's background as a functional morphologist. Lavish illustrations and extensive citations make the book extremely valuable as a teaching tool and reference source.

  • Clearly identified and illustrated functional concepts unify invertebrate diversity.
  • Information and concepts from emerging fields such as evolutionary developmental biology are integrated into the text. This ties the traditional field of invertebrate zoology to contemporary disciplines in biology.
  • Web page references and text citations link the textbook to dynamic and informative Web sites for further exploration.
