| Summary |
"Perspectives in Animal Phylogeny and Evolution successfully integrates morphological, fossil, and molecular evidence to produce a novel reinterpretation of animal evolution. This accessible text is suitable for graduate students taking advanced courses in evolutionary developmental biology, invertebrate zoology, molecular phylogenetics, and palaeontology, as well as professional researchers in these fields requiring an authoritative and up-to-date overview of this dynamic topic."--BOOK JACKET |
