Handbuch der Zoologie 35

Más información sobre el libro

Covering a century of zoological research, this comprehensive resource delves into the entire animal kingdom, including both invertebrates and vertebrates. It offers detailed insights into animal systematics and morphology, while also addressing physiology, behavior, ecology, and applied zoological research. Despite significant advancements in our understanding of various taxonomic groups, the aim remains to provide a thorough foundation for further research through well-curated text and references. The editors and authors strive to balance species diversity with the significance of certain groups in a phylogenetic context, ensuring a review of current knowledge and references. New contributions are the result of a collaborative effort from an international team, published in English to meet the needs of the global scientific community. Future volumes will cover Annelida, Bryozoa, Mammalia, and more, with ongoing projects addressing fishes, reptiles, and additional mammalian topics. Founded in the 1920s by Professor Willi Kükenthal, the Handbook has evolved from eight thematic volumes to more flexible groupings that reflect modern phylogenetic knowledge. The latest editions are available in print and e-book formats, and an online database allows for easy searching and updates. This living reference continuously integrates new content and offers diverse search options, enhancing its appeal to both authors and users.
