Vertebral Morphology, Alternation of Neural Spine Height, and Structure in Permo-Carboniferous Tetrapods, and a Reappraisal of Primitive Modes of Terrestrial Locomotion
Häftad, 1990
400 kr
Lägg i varukorg
In this volume the author examines the pervasive pattern of alternation of structure and height of vertebral neural spines in the context of a larger review of axial structure in the most terrestrial of primitive Permo-Carboniferous tetrapods. He concludes that a coupled pattern of axial …

Evolutionary Dynamics of the Pocket Gopher Thomomys bottae, with Emphasis on California Populations, by James L. Patton and Margaret F. Smith, offers a groundbreaking examination of one of North America’s most adaptable mammalian lineages. This study integrates morphology, genetics, and ecology to …
Postcranial Descriptions of Ilaria and Ngapakaldia (Vombatiformes, Marsupialia) and the Phylogeny of the Vombatiforms Based on Postcranial Morphology
Häftad, 1992

Lägg i varukorg
The author describes the postcrania of the Miocene marsupials Ilaria illumidens and Ngapakaldia tedfordi and compares them with those of other vombatiforms and out-group marsupials. A cladistic analysis of postcranial characters shows Ilaria to be most closely related to the wombats, primarily on …
Evolutionary Differentiation in Morphology, Vocalizations, and Allozymes Among Nomadic Sibling Species in the North American Red Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) Complex
Häftad, 1993
400 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The highly variable North American red crossbill complex has presented one of the most controversial problems in avian systematics. Although crossbills wander nomadically and breed all year, they have not become homogenized in bill and body size. This study suggests that this crossbill complex …
Sibling Species of Titmice in the Parus inornatus Complex (Aves: Paridae)
Av Carla Cicero
Häftad, 1996

Lägg i varukorg
In a comprehensive investigation of macrogeographic variation in the Plain Titmouse (Parus inornatus) complex in western North America, the author assessed population-level patterns of differentiation in morphometric, colorimetric, allozymic, mtDNA, and vocal characters. These suites of traits …

This volume combines a series of rigorous, original research papers with more informal recollections of James L. Patton, who served as Curator of Mammals in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and as Professor of Integrative Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1969 until 2001. As a …
Quintessential Naturalist
Honoring the Life and Legacy of Oliver P. Pearson
Av Douglas A. Kelt, Enrique P. Lessa m. fl.

1085 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Oliver P. Pearson's studies on mammalian biology remain standard reading for ecologists, physiologists, taxonomists, and biogeographers. Reflecting this, the papers gathered here continue to expand our understanding of the ecology and evolution of subterranean mammals, and of ecology, taxonomy, and …
Checklist of Host-Parasite Interactions of the Order Crocodylia
Häftad, 2013
799 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Records of parasitism in crocodilians date back to the early 1800s, distributed among various types of published and unpublished materials. Analyzing parasite-host specificity, geographic distribution, and taxonomy can provide otherwise cryptic details about crocodilian ecology and evolution, as …
