Overview
Invertebrate zoology is the study of animals without backbones. Those animals form a vast majority of animal species, from the simple sponges and jellyfish to the more complex mollusks, arthropods, and annelids. Invertebrate zoology is important for understanding the origins of many organisms and the evolutionary pathways of life on Earth. It is also essential for monitoring and managing biodiversity, managing invasive species, and predicting changes in species populations due to climate change and human activities. Invertebrate zoology provides important knowledge and tools to help protect our planet's most valuable organisms, and can help inform conservation efforts and species management.
