Publisher Description:

Those who study invertebrate animals are expected to learn hundreds of scientific words and names and apply them correctly to a diverse array of taxa and their internal organs, appendages, and larvae. This glossary was written to help students with this task, and it guides the reader through over 900 of the most common terms in the field. Each word is thoughtfully defined and cross-referenced, and each is given its proper taxonomic context based on the latest scientific studies. At the beginning there is a guide to Latin and Greek plurals and root words, with examples from invertebrates, and there are easily understood pronunciation guides for unfamiliar words. At the end there is a summary of synonyms and near-synonyms, as well as references for further reading.

Ron Clouse received his doctorate in biology from Harvard University and his master
