Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Aspects of crustacea Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lockwood, P. M., Auteur Editeur : Olivier and boyd Année de publication : 1968 Importance : 328 p. Format : 22 cm Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 595 Arthropodes Résumé : The crustacea have always been a popular group for physiological research, since they show such diversity in body form and mode of life. To the practical researcher they are particularly attractive because many of the more readily obtainable species are amenable to being kept under laboratory conditions and, as a rule, tolerate simple operations well. Consequently, a considerable amount of physiological knowledge concerning the group is already available, and much of it was most ably summarized a few years ago in the two volumes of The physiology of crustacea edited by T. H. Waterman (academic press). I feel that there is now need for more concise book at a level suitable both as a textbook for senior undergraduates and as background reading for postgraduates. In neither of these groups do potential readers usually have much time to devote to a single topic; so I have attempted to provide an outline of the physiology of the Crustacea which can be read at a few sittings and yet give an overall appreciation of the subject.

Principles of comparative anatomy of invertebrates / J.M. Maclennan

Public ISBD Faire une suggestion d'achat Titre : Principles of comparative anatomy of invertebrates : promorphology (volume 1) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : J.M. Maclennan, Auteur Editeur : Olivier and boyd Année de publication : 1969 Importance : 490 p. Format : 25 cm Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 593 Invertébrés marins et des bords de mer Résumé : Comparative anatomy is a part of biological systematic in the broad sense of that term, i.e. a part of the study of the diversity of forms of living matter. At first glance that diversity appears unlimited and chaotic, and merely to encompass and describe it calls for tremendous and well-planned labor. This problem is solved by means of systematic application of the comparative method, which consists in searching out, evaluating, and systematizing the similarities and differences between organisms. The comparative anatomical method is one of the special methods of systematic description of the diversity of organic forms. It was not without reason that, during the period of creation of the principles of comparative anatomy at the beginning of last century, it was held to be a higher stage of knowledge than simple anatomical description and was designated by a special name. Comparative anatomy is not simple description, but is, in a sense, explanation. What does comparative-anatomical explanation consist of?.
