This book is useful for anyone interested in the basic structural
and functional characteristics of the digestive system and how
these vary among vertebrate groups and species. It discusses all of
the major aspects of nutrition, anatomy and physiology in all of
the major groups of vertebrates. It contains numerous figures and
tables to aid in their comparison, including many illustrations of
gastrointestinal tracts of vertebrates prepared so as to allow for
direct comparison. The terminology of scientific specialties and
sub-specialties is defined and animals are referred to by both
their common and scientific names. Relationships between digestive
strategies and the diet and environment are discussed throughout
the text, and brought together in a chapter on the evolution of the
digestive system. The final chapter offers a brief summary of the
major concepts and suggests future directions for research.
