<br/><br/> Using the theme of evolution to develop a broad-scale view of animal diversity, this book helps students to focus not only on the organisms themselves, but also on the processes that produce evolutionary diversity. It gives a comprehensive survey of zoological diversity and emphasises on evolutionary, systematic and ecological principles.
