BOOK
The Invertebrates: Acanthocephala, Aschelminthes, and Entoprocta
This volume is part of Hyman’s authoritative multi-volume series on invertebrate zoology. It focuses on pseudocoelomate bilaterian groups, specifically Acanthocephala (thorny-headed worms), Aschelminthes (a historical grouping that includes nematodes and related phyla), and Entoprocta. The book provides detailed descriptions of morphology, anatomy, development, classification, and evolutionary relationships, supported by extensive illustrations and scholarly references. It is considered a foundational reference in zoology, particularly for understanding early interpretations of invertebrate phylogeny and taxonomy.
