The Dissection of Vertebrates covers several vertebrates commonly used in providing a transitional sequence in morphology. With illustrations on seven vertebrates – lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, cat, pigeon – this is the first book of its kind to include high-quality, digitally rendered illustrations.This book received the Award of Excellence in an Illustrated Medical Book from the Association of Medical Illustrators. It is organized by individual organism to facilitate classroom presentation.This illustrated, full-color primary dissection manual is ideal for use by students or practitioners working with vertebrate anatomy. This book is also recommended for researchers in vertebrate and functional morphology and comparative anatomy. The result of this exceptional work offers the most comprehensive treatment than has ever before been available.- Received the Award of Excellence in an Illustrated Medical Book from the Association of Medical Illustrators- Expertly rendered award-winning illustrations accompany the detailed, clear dissection direction- 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

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- Expertly rendered award-winning illustrations accompany the detailed, clear dissection direction- 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

Detailed and concise dissection directions, updated valuable information and extraordinary illustrations make The Dissection of Vertebrates, 3rd Edition the new ideal manual for students in comparative vertebrate anatomy, as well as a superb reference for vertebrate and functional morphology, vertebrate paleontology, and advanced level vertebrate courses, such as in mammalogy, ornithology, ichthyology, and herpetology.

This newly revised edition of the most comprehensive manual available continues to offer today's more visually oriented student with a manual combining pedagogically effective text with high-quality, accurate and attractive visual references. This new edition features updated and expanded phylogenetic coverage, revisions to the illustrations and text of the lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, cat, pigeon, and reptile skull chapters, and new sections on amphioxus or lancelet (Branchiostoma, Cephalochodata), a sea squirt (Ciona, Urochordata), shark musculature, a gravid shark, shark embryo, cat musculature, and the sheep heart.

Using the same systematic approach within a systemic framework as the first two editions, The Dissection of Vertebrates, 3rd Edition covers several animals commonly used in providing an anatomical transition sequence. Nine animals are covered: amphioxus, sea squirt, lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, cat, and pigeon, plus five reptile skulls, two mammal skulls, and the sheep heart.

Winner of a 2020 Textbook Excellence Award (College) (Texty) from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association Seven detailed vertebrate dissections, providing a systemic approach Includes carefully developed directions for dissection Original, high-quality award-winning illustrations Clear and sharp photographs Expanded and updated features on phylogenetic coverage New sections on: amphioxus (Cephalochordata); sea squirt (Urochordata); shark musculature; gravid shark; shark embryo; cat musculature; sheep heart
