Vertebrates Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution

This one-semester text is designed for an upper-level majors course. Vertebrates features a unique emphasis on function and evolution of vertebrates, complete anatomical detail, and excellent pedagogy. Vertebrate groups are organized phylogenetically, and their systems discussed within such a context. Morphology is foremost, but the author has developed and integrated an understanding of function and evolution into the discussion of anatomy of the various systems.Kardong, Kenneth is the author of 'Vertebrates Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution', published 2005 under ISBN 9780072528305 and ISBN 0072528303.
