DEF

[...] animal sans colonne vertébrale, comme les insectes, les crustacés, les mollusques, les vers [...]

OBS

Invertébrés sert à désigner tous les animaux hors les Vertébrés. Ce groupement ne saurait à aucun titre avoir une valeur zoologique quelconque, les divers êtres qu'ils renferment étant absolument différents les uns des autres. C'est un terme commode, mais qui ne doit pas prendre place dans la classification.
