A Laboratory Guide to Invertebrate Zoology

Written by a professor with 15 years of experience teaching invertebrate zoology, this innovative guide provides students a self-paced way to learn about the fascinating anatomy, physiology, and behavior of the invertebrate world.


Each of the eight chapters includes introductory material on a single phylum (i.e., its major unifying traits) and one to three dissection guides for specimens representing important classes. These guides take full advantage of the format with over 300 high-resolution images, many of which are interactive. In addition, embedded videos and assessment tools provide opportunities for students to enhance, review, and assess their learning.


For instructors, this guide includes access to an image library, specimen source list, and links to additional exercises and resources to augment the dissections.
