Description
This comprehensive textbook provides an in-depth exploration of vertebrates, focusing on their comparative anatomy, function, and evolution. Organised phylogenetically, the book examines the systems of various vertebrate groups within a functional and evolutionary context.
With a strong emphasis on morphology, the author has developed a unique approach that integrates understanding of function and evolution into the discussion of anatomy. This one-semester text is designed for upper-level majors courses, providing students with a thorough understanding of vertebrates.
Packed with detailed anatomical detail, this textbook is an essential resource for anyone studying biology, zoology, or veterinary medicine.
