  • The Division of Invertebrate Zoology
    • A group of invertebrate zoologists set up to study and document invertebrates

    • Analyzes how the species are related through DNA analysis[2]

During the 20th century another contributor to invertebrate zoology was Libbie Henrietta Hyman (1888-1969). She did research on protozoans, flatworms, and coelenterates. From her knowledge she was able to write six volumes detailing work on invertebrates and how to study them properly. From this she was awarded the Linnean Society Gold Medal.[1]

An organization that was developed during the 20th century is The Division of Invertebrate Zoology. This group consists of zoologist that set up studies and document invertebrates within their collection that currently has 500,000 species. They also analyze how the different invertebrate species are related to each other through DNA analysis.[2]
