Author: Peter Castro , Michael E Huber

Introductory, one-semester text designed for non-majors. Covers the basics of marine biology with a global approach using examples from numerous regions and ecosystems worldwide.

Table of contents: 

1. Introduction to Marine Invertebrates:
  • Defining Invertebrates: Briefly explaining what defines an invertebrate and their evolutionary significance.
  • Diversity of Invertebrates: Highlighting the vast diversity of invertebrate groups found in the ocean. 
     
2. Major Invertebrate Groups:
  • Sponges (Porifera): Their unique body structure, feeding mechanisms, and ecological roles.
  • Cnidarians (Jellyfish, Corals, Anemones): Their stinging cells (cnidocytes), body forms (medusa and polyp), and diverse habitats.
  • Worms: A variety of worm phyla, including flatworms, ribbon worms, segmented worms (like polychaetes), and peanut worms, their adaptations to different marine environments.
  • Mollusks: Bivalves (clams, oysters), gastropods (snails, slugs), and cephalopods (squid, octopus) – their diverse body plans, feeding strategies, and ecological importance.
  • Arthropods: Crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, shrimp) – their segmented bodies, exoskeletons, and importance in marine food webs.
  • Echinoderms: Starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers – their unique radial symmetry, water vascular system, and regenerative abilities.
  • Other Invertebrate Groups: Bryozoans, brachiopods, and other less prominent groups. 
     
3. Invertebrate Ecology:
  • Feeding Strategies:
    How different invertebrates obtain food (filter feeding, predation, scavenging, etc.).
  • Symbiotic Relationships:
    Examples of invertebrates forming close relationships with other organisms (e.g., coral and zooxanthellae).
  • Habitat Importance:
    How invertebrates contribute to the structure and function of various marine habitats (e.g., coral reefs, seagrass beds, deep-sea vents). 
     
4. Human Impact:
  • Overfishing: How human activities affect invertebrate populations.
  • Pollution: The effects of pollution on invertebrate health and survival.
  • Climate Change: How rising ocean temperatures and acidification impact invertebrates.
