Chordates comprise lampreys, hagfishes, jawed fishes, and
tetrapods, plus a variety of more unfamiliar and crucially
important non-vertebrate animal lineages, such as lancelets and sea
squirts. This will be the first book to synthesize, summarize, and
provide high-quality illustrations to show what is known of the
configuration, development, homology, and evolution of the muscles
of all major extant chordate groups. Muscles as different as those
used to open the siphons of sea squirts and for human facial
communication will be compared, and their evolutionary links will
be explained. Another unique feature of the book is that it covers,
illustrates, and provides detailed evolutionary tables for each and
every muscle of the head, neck and of all paired and median
appendages of extant vertebrates. Key Selling Features: Has more
than 200 high-quality anatomical illustrations, including
evolutionary trees that summarize the origin and evolution of all
major muscle groups of chordates Includes data on the muscles of
the head and neck and on the pectoral, pelvic, anal, dorsal, and
caudal appendages of all extant vertebrate taxa Examines
experimental observations from evolutionary developmental biology
studies of chordate muscle development, allowing to evolutionarily
link the muscles of vertebrates with those of other chordates
Discusses broader developmental and evolutionary issues and their
implications for macroevolution, such as the links between
phylogeny and ontogeny, homology and serial homology, normal and
abnormal development, the evolution, variations, and birth defects
of humans, and medicine.
