Cette page n'a ni la prétention ni pour objet de proposer une liste exhaustive des références relatives à la zoologie, une telle entreprise serait, bien-entendu, sans fin... Son ambition est de présenter une liste d'ouvrages, de publications ou de sites internet reconnus par la communauté scientifique comme incontournables ou majeurs, qu'ils soient généraux ou plus ciblés. Pour les sujets comportant une liste de références trop importante, se reporter aux éventuelles sous-pages plus spécialisées via les liens proposés. Le second objectif de cette page est, pour chaque discipline, d'en présenter les grandes lignes historiques de la littérature ainsi que d'en citer les auteurs ayant le plus de notoriété. Par ailleurs, les espèces fossiles ne sont pas représentées ici. Pour des références se rapportant aux groupes disparus, consulter la page Orientation bibliographique sur l'origine et l'évolution du vivant. Enfin, cette page ne traite que des métazoaires (animaux multicellulaires). Pour des références se rapportant aux protozoaires ou au zooplancton unicellulaire, consulter la page Orientation bibliographique en microbiologie.

Dans le domaine des oligochètes terrestres, ou vers de terre, l'ouvrage très complet d'Edwards et Bohlen (1996) fait figure de référence depuis de nombreuses années. En France, l'unique ouvrage étendu sur le sujet est celui de Bouché (1972). La principale référence quant aux niveaux supérieurs de la classification des vers de terre est celle de Sims (1980), en attendant probablement de futurs éclairages en provenance de la biologie moléculaire. Pour les oligochètes aquatiques, la référence incontestée au niveau international est l'ouvrage de Brinkhurst et Jamieson de 1971.

Les Merostomata sont presque tous des organismes fossiles. Les seuls représentants du groupe encore vivants aujourd'hui font partie de l'ordre des Xiphosura.
