Synopsis
This superbly illustrated new edition retains the logical organization and clear, lively style that have made previous editions so popular. The book describes the anatomy of the major structural and behavioral groups of vertebrate animals, interpreting their form in terms of evolution and adaptation to habit and habitat., Functional approach to morphology--treatment is unique as to organization, thoroughness, and extent of biomechanical analysis. * Profusely illustrated with high quality original artwork. * Comment boxes evaluate points of controversy and note inadequately understood phenomena., This world-renowned text describes the anatomy of the major structural and behavioral groups of vertebrate animals, interpreting their form in terms of evolution and adaptation to habit and habitat. The presentation is sound and solid yet not so long and detailed as to overwhelm students. Designed for use in a one-term course in the structural analysis of vertebrates. Milton Hildebrand is extremely well known in the field especially for his collection of specimens that are now housed at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at UC Berkeley. The chapter opening photos in the text are of these specimens from the collection. The photographs were taken by a National Geographic photographer., "Analysis of Vertebrate Structure" - Jetzt erscheint der internationale Lehrbuchklassiker in der 5. Auflage. Der Band beschreibt die Anatomie von Struktur und Verhalten der gro en Wirbeltiergruppen. Er erläutert ihre Körperform im Hinblick auf ihre entwicklungsgeschichtliche Anpassung an den jeweiligen Lebensraum. Die Autoren gehen dabei von einem funktionsmorphologischen Ansatz aus. Berücksichtigt werden auch Strukturinterpretationen verschiedener Anpassungen zur Nahrungsaufnahme sowie der Lokomotionsapparate. In Textkästen mit der Überschrift "Concepts" werden umstrittene Punkte untersucht, unzureichend erforschte Phänomene festgehalten, Grundlagen tiefgehender analysiert und eine historische Sichtweise zu laufenden Analysen vermittelt. Mit einem neuen Anhang zu anatomischen Präparationstechniken.
