Description
Emphasizing the central role of evolution in generating diversity, this best-selling text describes animal life and the fascinating adaptations that enable animals to inhabit so many ecological niches. Featuring high quality illustrations and photographs set within an engaging narrative, Integrated Principles of Zoology is considered the standard by which other texts are measured. With its comprehensive coverage of biological and zoological principles, mechanisms of evolution, diversity, physiology, and ecology, organized into five parts for easy access, this text is suitable for one- or two-semester introductory courses.

Features

Chapter notes, which appear throughout the book, augment the text material and offer interesting sidelights without interrupting the narrative. Many new notes were prepared for this edition and several existing notes were revised.

To assist students in chapter review, each chapter ends with a concise summary, a list ofreview questions, and annotated selected references. The review questions enable a student to self-test retention and understanding of the more important chapter material.
