Topic: Invertebrate zoology


  
  Zoology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zoology (Greek zoon = animal and logos = word) is the biological discipline which involves the study of animals.
The real dawn of zoology after the legendary period of the Middle Ages is connected with the name of an Englishman, Edward Edward Wotton, born at Oxford in 1492, who practised as a physician in London and died in 1555.
The most ready means of noting the progress of zoology during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries is to compare Aristotle's classificatory conceptions of successive naturalists with those which are to be found in the works of Caldon.

 SICB Careers - Invertebrate Zoology
Invertebrate biologists study many aspects of the biology of animals without backbones, a large field of study as it includes at least 95 percent of all animal species.
Invertebrates may be found and studied in all conceivable habitats - freshwater, marine, high and low latitudes, hot rift vents, deserts, mountaintops and the Antarctic.
Invertebrate zoology is exciting and rewarding and is important in understanding the world.

 Invertebrate Zoology Libraries: Smithsonian Institution Libraries
The present-day Department of Invertebrate Zoology was originally established as the Department of Marine Invertebrates during the general reorganization of the U.S. National Museum in 1880.
The division of Marine Invertebrates remained in the Department of Invertebrate Zoology until the Division was abolished in 1965 to become three new divisions: Crustacea, Echinoderms and Worms.

Zoology (From College of Letters and Science Bulletin) 145 Noland Hall, 262-1051 Professors Abrahamson, Auerbach, Borisy, Bownds, Carpenter, Denniston, Dodson, Engels, Hailman, Jeanne, Kirsch, Kitchell, Magnuson, Meyer, Moermond, Passano, Porter, Schatten, Snowdon, Sonneborn, Stretton; Associate Professors Baylis, Garland, Karasov, Pawley, Steudel, Strier; Assistant Professors Bement, Blair, Hardin, Ives, Padilla.
The zoology department provides a gateway to the diverse and exciting areas of modern biology, on a campus where the pursuit of biology is probably more vigorous and varied than at any other institution in the world.
The diversity of pathways to the zoology major, for students with general as well as specific interests in biology, is augmented by the possibility of applying, upon approval by the department, non-zoology courses toward the required 30 credits; however, a minimum of 6 credits of formal, nonconference, upper-level courses within the zoology department is required.

 Yale Peabody Museum: Invertebrate Zoology: History
The invertebrate holdings at Yale University now in the Yale Peabody Museum’s Division of Invertebrate Zoology began to grow immediately with the arrival of Addison E. Verrill in 1864 as the University’s first Professor of Zoology.
Named Curator of Zoology in 1866 at the newly founded Peabody Museum, his collecting and describing of local marine and freshwater fauna formed the basis of what was to evolve into a major collection of Western Atlantic coastal invertebrates for the Museum.
In 1994, most of the zoological specimens of the George M. Gray Museum Collection were transferred to the Yale Peabody Museum and incorporated within the invertebrate zoology and vertebrate zoology (ichthyology) collections.
