The Anatomy of Dolphins: Insights into Body Structure and Function is a precise, detailed, fully illustrated, descriptive, and functionally oriented text on the anatomy and morphology of dolphins. It focuses on a number of delphinid species, with keynotes on important dolphin-like genera, such as the harbor porpoise. It also serves as a useful complement for expanding trends and emphases in molecular biology and genetics.
The authors share their life-long expertise on marine mammals in various disciplines. Written as a team rather than being prepared as a collection of separate contributions, the result is a uniform and comprehensive style, giving each of the different topics appropriate space. Many color figures, which use the authors’ access to wide collections of unique dolphin and whale material, round out this exceptional offering to the field.
- Includes high-quality illustrations, drawings, halftone artwork, photographic documentations, microphotos, and tables detailing dolphin anatomy, function, and morphology
- Facilitates education and training of students of all basic research and applied sciences dedicated to marine biology and the medical care of marine mammals
- Brings together the current knowledge and information on this topic, including those in obscure past or non-English publications, or scattered in short chapters in volumes
- Covers a number of delphinid species and serves as a useful complement for expanding trends in molecular biology and genetics

His professional experience spans veterinary and comparative anatomy fields, within which he specializes in the neuroanatomy and physiology of marine mammals, large herbivores, and humans. He has multi-decadal teaching experience in veterinary anatomy and has written multiple textbooks including the first edition of Anatomy of Dolphins (Elsevier), Atlas of the Anatomy of Dolphins and Whales (Elsevier), and Human Neuroanatomy.
Dr. Stefan Huggenberger is Lecturer and Assistant Professor at the Institute of Anatomy and Clinical Morphology within the Witten/Herdecke University, Germany. He obtained his PhD from Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, and held post-doc positions in zoology at Potsdam University and the University of Cologne. Dr. Huggenberger’s research focuses on the comparative anatomy of dolphins and whales. He has multi-decadal teaching experience in comparative anatomy and has written multiple textbooks including the first edition of Anatomy of Dolphins (Elsevier), Atlas of the Anatomy of Dolphins and Whales (Elsevier), Human Neuroanatomy, The Human Brainstem: Anatomy and Pathology, and Neuroanatomy of the Mouse: An Introduction.
Helmut Oelschläger (Dr.rer.nat.) is a senior lecturer, senior scientist and professor in human anatomy. After studying biology and chemistry in Tübingen (Germany) he made his Ph.D. and habilitation in Frankfurt am Main. He received several scientific awards and organized two marine mammal workshops (Kyoto and Tokyo 2000, Frankfurt 2001). Prof. Oelschläger is an experienced morphologist and neurobiologist and received numerous grants. Scientific topics are: the terminal nerve, magnetic orientation in mammals and the structure of the mammalian head and nervous system (sensory organs, brainstem, neocortex, ontogenetic development). His main focus lies on the comparative neurobiology and the evolution of whales and dolphins.
