Atlas of Terrestrial Mammal Limbs is the first comprehensive and
detailed anatomy book on a broad phylogenetic and ecological range
of mammals. This extraordinary new work features more than 400
photographs and illustrations visualizing the limb musculature of
28 different species. Standardized views of the dissected bodies
and concise text descriptions make it easy to compare the anatomy
across different taxa. It provides tables of nomenclature and
comparative muscle maps (schematic drawings on the origins and
insertions of the muscles onto bones) in a diversity of animals.
Atlas of Terrestrial Mammal Limbs is a reliable reference and an
indispensable volume for all students and professional researchers
in biology, paleontology, and veterinary medicine. Key Features:
Provides an overview of the anatomy of the mammalian limb Includes
osteological correlates of the limb muscles Illustrates anatomy in
2D Guides dissection Documents anatomical diversity in mammalian
limbs Related Titles: D. L. France. Human and Nonhuman Bone

Muscles of Chordates: Development, Homologies, and Evolution (ISBN
978-1-1385-7116-7)
We live in a well-engineered universe. This engineering is present
in every system and organism in existence, including in the actions
and interactions of plants and animals. In fact, one could say that
the function and movement of plants and animals is just as much a
part of their makeup as chlorophyll and fiber or bone and blood.
Consequently, if we want to understand the ecology of animals and
plants especially in an integrated ecosystem, it follows that great
insight can be gained by taking an approach that studies function
and integration of parts rather than the individual parts
themselves. Ecology and Biomechanics: A Mechanical Approach to the
Ecology of Animals and Plants offers a collection of
state-of-the-art papers that ingeniously demonstrates how
biomechanics can provide novel insights into long standing
ecological and evolutionary questions. The majority of the book's
chapters were originally presented at a symposium held at the
annual meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology in
Edinburgh, U.K., in 2004. Combining approaches from various
disciplines, this volume covers subjects that encompass theoretical
concepts and practical approaches involving research on both plants
and animals, as well as interactions between the two. Although most
of the examples emphasize distinct organism-environment
relationships such as the grazing of ruminants, the book also
includes a few examples that span larger temporal and spatial
scales, achieving wider application across ecosystems. This can be
seen in the chapter Implications of Microbial Motility on the Water
Column Ecosystems, which highlights how microbial ecosystems can be
understood from the mechanics, morphology, and motile responses of
the individual organisms. Designed to serve as a reference for
students and researchers, Ecology and Biomechanics: A Mechanical
Approach to the Ecology of Animals and Plants paves the way for
further research.

Muscles of Chordates: Development, Homologies, and Evolution (ISBN
978-1-1385-7116-7)
They change color depending on their mood. They possess uniquely
adapted hands and feet distinct from other tetrapods. They feature
independently movable eyes. This comprehensive volume delves into
these fascinating details and thorough research about one of the
most charismatic families of reptiles--Chameleonidae. Written for
professional herpetologists, scholars, researchers, and students,
this book takes readers on a voyage across time to discover
everything that is known about chameleon biology: anatomy,
physiology, adaptations, ecology, behavior, biogeography,
phylogeny, classification, and conservation. A description of the
natural history of chameleons is given, along with the fossil
record and typical characteristics of each genus. The state of
chameleons in the modern world is also depicted, complete with new
information on the most serious threats to these remarkable
reptiles.
