In this field there has been an explosion of information generated
by scientific research. One of the beneficiaries of this has been
the study of morphology, where new techniques and analyses have led
to insights into a wide range of topics. Advances in genetics,
histology, microstructure, biomechanics and morphometrics have
allowed researchers to view teeth from alternative perspectives.
However, there has been little communication between researchers in
the different fields of dental research. This book brings together
overviews on a wide range of dental topics linking genes, molecules
and developmental mechanisms within an evolutionary framework.
Written by the leading experts in the field, this book will
stimulate co-operative research in fields as diverse as
paleontology, molecular biology, developmental biology and
functional morphology.
This book reviews comprehensively incubation effects on embryonic
development in birds and reptiles and presents the first ever
synthesis of data from these two vertebrate classes. The book is in
three parts. The first deals with the structure, shape and function
of eggs. The second examines the effects of the four main
parameters on the process of incubation: temperature, water
relations, respiratory gas exchange, and turning. The third section
deals with early embryonic development and the methods used to
investigate and manipulate the embryo. Further chapters deal with
aestivation, megapodes and oviparity. International experts in each
field have contributed to this extensively referenced volume and it
will be of great interest not only to research biologists, but also
to bird and reptile breeders, whether in commercial organisations
or in zoos.
