Features: This book is a revised and supplemented version of the second edition of "General Zoology." It is divided into 24 chapters and has undergone comprehensive modifications and additions in terms of arrangement, content, and illustrations. For example, representative animal discussions on "Basic Structure and Function of Vertebrate Bodies" and "Vertebrate Body Structure and Function Reviews" have been removed to reduce repetition; a dedicated chapter on "Origin and Evolution of Chordates" has been added for easier learning and comprehension; "Overview of Animal Evolution" has been changed to "Basic Principles of Animal Evolution," specifically introducing the achievements of research on animal evolution at the cellular and molecular levels, allowing students to engage with the research hotspots and methods of modern zoology; and knowledge of conservation biology has been strengthened in relevant chapters. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students majoring in zoology at comprehensive universities, agricultural and forestry colleges, and can also be used as a reference for teacher training institutions and related professionals.
