Zoology Books

About Zoology Books

This application is a learning aid to understand the relationship between structure and function. The concept of phylogeny will be introduced and the great diversity of animals will be examined within a phylogenetic framework. Major events in animal evolution as demonstrated by adaptations to parasitism, the marine environment and life on land will be provided. The section on invertebrate diversity will conclude with a recent lecture on the incredible discoveries currently being made of new species and even new groups and how scientists determine where they fit in the tree of life. Vertebrate biology will follow groups from fish to land vertebrates, including amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. We'll spice this up with an interesting lecture on animal adaptation and some of the major evolutionary hurdles in vertebrate evolution. Topics in animal physiology relevant to vertebrates and invertebrates will include the flow of energy through the organism, the processes of respiration and the functioning of the nervous and sensory systems as well as muscle function.

Zoology (/zoʊˈɒlədʒi/)[note 1] is the branch of biology that studies the animal kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and heredity, and how they interact with their ecosystems. The term is derived from Ancient Greek , zōion ('animal'), and , logos ('knowledge', 'study').

Although humans have always been interested in the natural history of the animals they saw around them, and made use of this knowledge to domesticate certain species, the formal study of zoology can be said to have originated with Aristotle. He viewed animals as living organisms, studied their structure and development, and considered their adaptations to their surroundings and the function of their parts. The Greek physician Galen studied human anatomy and was one of the greatest surgeons of the ancient world, but after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the onset of the Early Middle Ages, the Greek tradition of medicine and scientific study went into decline in Western Europe, although it continued in the medieval Islamic world. Modern zoology has its origins during the Renaissance and early modern period, with Carl Linnaeus, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, Robert Hooke, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel and many others.

The study of animals has largely moved on to deal with form and function, adaptations, relationships between groups, behavior and ecology. Zoology has increasing been subdivided into disciplines such as classification, physiology, biochemistry and evolution. With the discovery of the structure of DNA by Francis Crick and James Watson in 1953, the realm of molecular biology opened up, leading to advances in cell biology, developmental biology and molecular genetics.
