Further information: The authors divide the bilaterians in three informal groups:. (phyla Platyhelminthes, Gastrotricha, Entoprocta, Gnathostomulida, Cycliophora).

(or pseducoelomate, phyla Rotifera, Kinorhyncha, Nematoda, Nematomorpha, Acanthocephala, Loricifera). (or eucoelomates, phyla Nemertea, Priapula, Annelida, Sipuncula, Echiura, Onychophora, Tardigrada, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Phoronida, Ectoprocta, Brachiopoda, Echinodermata, Chaetognatha, Hemichordata, Chordata). Several groups traditionally viewed as having a blastocoelomate condition are viewed here as acoelomates (e.g., ). Some of the coelomates groups (e.g., ) have greatly reduced celomic spaces; often the main body cavity is a bloodfilled space called a hemocoel, and is associated with an open circulatory system. The, and are viewed as.

'Invertebrates' 2nd edition presents a modern survey of the 34 animal phyla (plus the Protista) and serves as both a college course text and a reference on invertebrate biology. It is organized around the themes of bauplans (body plans) and evolution (phylogenetics). Detailed classifications, phylogenetic trees, and references for all phyla are provided. The text is accompanied by detailed line drawings and - new to this edition - four-colour photographs. Other key changes from the 1st edition (1990) include: the incorporation of all the new developments in phylogenetics, developmental biology and molecular genetics; major changes at the highest levels among the invertebrates; three phyla that appeared in the original book Pentastomida, Pogonophora and Vestimentifera no longer exist, and an entire new phylum, Cycliophora, has been erected.

Moreover, this edition discusses recent work in molecular systematics, and there is a large new section on 'Kingdom Protista' (replacing 'Protozoa') containing new contemporary views of these organisms (arranged in 17 phyla).
