SIE 2003 INVERTEBRATE BIOLOGY
SIE 2001 PRINCIPLES OF SYSTEMATICS
Introduction to Invertebrate: classification, diversity,
This course is to develop the students' skills in classification ecology, evolution etc. Groups of invertebrate being
of organisms by understanding the concepts of systematics discussed are Protozoa, Porifera, Cnidaria,
and the philosophy behind systematics (classification, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Mollusca,
taxonomy and nomenclature). Taxonomy in particular and Arthropoda (Trilobitomorpha, Chelicerata, Crustacea,
systematics in general are the prerequisites in scientific Myriapoda, Hexapoda, Lophophorata) and Echinodermata.
