Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive examination of the field of mammalogy, tracing its historical evolution from zoological and paleontological perspectives. The author, an established expert, combines zoological and paleontological methods to analyze the similarities and contrasts in research methodologies between the two disciplines. The book explores various principles and nomenclatures of proportion characters and discusses the influence of endocrine secretions, nutrition, sex, and age on mammalian skeletal proportions. It also critically evaluates the causes of mammalian variation and challenges traditional views on the role of natural selection as a driver of adaptive evolution. The author argues for a holistic approach that incorporates insights from both zoology and paleontology to gain a deeper understanding of mammalian evolution. This book is essential reading for mammalogists, paleontologists, and evolutionary biologists, and provides valuable insights for ecologists, conservationists, and wildlife managers.
