This second edition of Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates has been
thoroughly revised. It is based around two fundamental themes. Part
A, comprising the first eight chapters, is devoted to the
discussion of chordates' evolution and classification. A detailed
taxonomic synopsis for each class is included in the chapter
dealing with that class. In addition a combination of phylogenetic
trees (cladograms) and narrative discussions to unveil facts about
animal evolution are included. Cladograms are used where
appropriate. The book also discusses molecular-based hypotheses
that have received widespread attention. Part B deals with
comparative anatomy and provides an introduction to the
structure-function concept at the level of organs and the organ
system, which is fundamental to the understanding of synthesis of
comparative anatomy. Key features: Treats the subject in a
sequential manner Brief and lucid discussion of the subject matter
Outline diagrams, taken from authentic sources, that can be easily
reproduced
