  • invertebrate zoology
    • 20th century
      • Libbie Henrietta Hyman (1888-1969)
        • Wrote many volumes detailing work on invertebrates
        • Awarded Linnean Society Gold Medal for her invertebrate textbooks
        • Did research and furthered knowledge on protozoans, flatworms, and coelenterates [1]
      • phylogenetics
        • Willi Hennig
          • entomologist
          • publication of Phylogenetic Systematics in 1966
            • redefinition of the goals of classification/systematic schemes for living things
            • focus on evolutionary relationships instead of morphology
            • definition of monophyly, ideas about hierarchical classification
            • nothing on outgroup comparison, though this method is important today and Hennig was apparently aware of it[2]
    • The Division of Invertebrate Zoology
      • A group of invertebrate zoologists set up to study and document invertebrates
      • Has a collection of 500,000 species that it's examined
      • Analyzes how the species are related through DNA analysis[3]
