Publisher's Synopsis
The Lower Metazoa: Comparative Biology and Phylogeny is a comprehensive book written by Ellsworth Charles Dougherty that explores the comparative biology and phylogeny of lower metazoans. The book provides a detailed analysis of the lower metazoans, including their morphology, physiology, ecology, and behavior. It also delves into the evolutionary history of these organisms, examining their relationships to other animal groups and tracing their origins back to the earliest forms of life. The Lower Metazoa: Comparative Biology and Phylogeny is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a specific group of lower metazoans. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the anatomy and physiology of sponges, the behavior and ecology of cnidarians, the diversity of flatworms, and the evolutionary relationships between different groups of lower metazoans. Throughout the book, Dougherty draws on his extensive knowledge of the subject matter to provide readers with a clear and concise overview of the lower metazoans. The book is written in an accessible style, making it an ideal resource for students, researchers, and anyone with an interest in the biology and evolution of these fascinating organisms. Overall, The Lower Metazoa: Comparative Biology and Phylogeny is an essential reference for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the diversity and complexity of life on Earth.Additional Contributor Is Willard D.
