Invertebrate Zoology: A Functional Evolutionary Approach 7th Edition by Edward E. Ruppert , Richard S. Fox , Robert D. Barnes

This long-awaited revision to Ruppert/Barnes’ best-selling introduction to the biology of invertebrates is highly regarded for its accuracy and strong research base. This thorough revision provides a survey by groups, emphasizing 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.
