Systematic Principles of Zoology

About The Book

The last few centuries have seen a remarkable resurgence in systematics. The reasons for this are varied. Taxonomists played an important role in the new synthesis of developmental hypotheses, and their work has demonstrated that systematics' primary concern—the study of natural diversified variety—is a very important and relevant scientific discipline. Precise has also had an important role in launching the entire discipline of population science, including the study of population genetics. There are also contemporary biomechanical, neurophysiological, immunological, and revolutionary terms included. Using the three-part classification system as a guide, the book's extensive reference section provides information on endangered species, the universal genetic code, the geologic time scale, SI units, and a ranked list of descriptive terms. This massive, authoritative, and language-neutral dictionary is an essential tool for students and teachers in the fields of zoology, organic sciences, and biomedical sciences, as well as a valuable resource for naturalists and anybody with an interest in animals.
