Sinopsis

This text presents a complete phylogenetic analysis of all animal phyla. Using modern cladistic techniques, each phylum is analyzed to ascertain that the units in the analysis belong to the same ancestral group, then gradually extended from the identification of sister phyla to the construction of a complete phylogenetic tree of extant metazoa. The systematic cladistic analysis of phylogenetic relationships has been integrated into a text which also describes the main features of the various groups.

Críticas

"Claus Nielson has compiled an extremely impressive review of the major features of animal phyla, and within a phylogenetic framework. This masterpiece integrates both developmental and adult characteristics into a synthesis that will form THE fundamental reference for the evolution of animal phyla for at least the next decade--a truly impressive accomplishment. This work not only offers a complete phylogenetic analysis of all animal phyla, it contains new hypotheses of relationships where such rearrangements are supported by clear, unambiguous synapomorphies. . . .This book has great potential as a university classroom text. Although this does not appear to be the intention of the text, learning about the progression of animal complexities could not be presented in a more lucid manner for students."-- Robert W. Murphy, The Canadian Field-Naturalist"Nielsen has prepared an exceptionally valuable, concise book. . .A must for all zoologists and biologists engaged in teaching the systematics of animal groups." --Choice
