Synopsis

The Dissection of Vertebrates, Second Edition, provides students with a manual that combines pedalogical effective text with high-quality, accurate, and attractive visual references. Using a systemic approach within a systematic framework for each vertebrate, this book covers several animals commonly used in providing an anatomical transition sequence. Seven animals are covered: lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, pigeon, and cat.

This updated version include a revised systemic section of the introductory chapter; corrections to several parts of the existing text and images; new comparative skull sections included as part of the existing vertebrates; and a companion site with image bank.

This text is designed for 2nd or 3rd year university level comparative vertebrate anatomy courses. Such courses are usually two-semester courses, and may either be a required course or an elective. It is typically a required course for Biology and Zoology majors, as well as for some Forensics and Criminology programs, and offered as an elective for many other non-zoology science majors.

• Winner of the NYSM Jury award for the Rock Dove Air Sacs, Lateral and Ventral Views illustration

• Organized by individual organism to facilitate classroom presentation
• Offers coverage of a wide range of vertebrates
• Full-color, strong pedagogical aids in a convenient lay-flat presentation
• Expanded and updated features on phylogenic coverage, mudpuppy musculature and comparative mammalian skulls
