Vertebrates: Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution 6th Edition

Vertebrates: Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution

An upper-level textbook exploring vertebrate anatomy through the integrated perspectives of morphology, function, and evolution. Vertebrate groups are organized phylogenetically, helping students understand anatomical systems in an evolutionary context. The accompanying laboratory guide provides detailed, illustrated instructions for comparative vertebrate dissections.
