This new edition features new cladograms (presented as line art figures) used as "phylogenetic summaries" and are balanced by an appendix dedicated to traditional Linnaen classification.
Body systems approach examines different types of vertebrates by looking at each system (digestive, circulatory, etc.) separately.

This revision includes updates throughout to be consistent with the most current research in Comparative Anatomy.
This text covers the patterns of anatomy when comparing vertebrates. It also includes patterns among parts of the biological process- which includes similarities due to convergence, similarities due to accident, and similarities in terms of embryology.
The core of this text emphasizes comparative aspects of vertebrate morphology. This is a straightforward, no frills text that has been streamlined as a result of multiple revisions.
