Download or read book The Osteology of Reptiles and Amphibians written by Beth Reinke and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Osteology of Reptiles and Amphibians: A Modern Comparative Atlas of North American Species is the original guide to all skeletal systems and bone compositions of herpetofauna ranging including turtles, crocodiles, lizards, and snakes. This book looks at the largest concentration of reptilian and amphibian species found across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and beyond. The book begins with fundamental overviews and descriptions for osteological identification, herpetological evolution, and the study of functional and comparative morphology. Its primary feature, unlike any other book of a similar subject matter, is the numerous line drawings separated by bone type, with representatives from all major herpetofauna groups allow individuals looking to identify unknown bones to group. This book offers detailed, scaled, within-group drawings allow researchers to collect data within major groups. The Osteology of Reptiles and Amphibians: A Modern Comparative Atlas of North American Species is the first of its kind, offering herpetologists, vertebrate biologists, paleontologists, and zooarchaelogists a core visual resource for studying and understanding herpetofauna osteology. This book is also useful for students in animal biology, herpetology, and osteology courses. The only book designed for maximum efficiency in herpetofauna bone identification and research Features easy-to-follow guidance on osteological identification, reptile and amphibian evolution, and comparative morphology Illustrated with high-quality line drawings of all skeletal elements of nearly 500 species

Download or read book Comparative osteology between Trachemys callirostris callirostris Colombian Slider and Chelonoidis carbonaria Red Footed Tortoise identification guide for skeletal remains written by Ramos Roca, Elizabeth and published by Ediciones Uniandes-Universidad de los Andes. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of an investigation of the osteology in the turtle (Trachemys callirostris callirostris) and the morrocoya or morrocoy (Chelonoidis carbonaria), motivated by the need to identify at the level of species, multiple fragments of turtles that we recovered in the excavations of archeological sites. This level of detail is justified, since only in this way it is possible to derive from such studies valuable information about fundamental aspects for the reconstruction of human trajectories such as the interaction between humans and the enviroment, different species, biogeographic history and, in general, the cultural patterns associated with the appropriation of the Fauna.

Book excerpt: Based on the work of Samuel Wendell Williston and Dr. W.K. Gregory, author and editor of the original title published in 1925, this volume consists of two major parts - a structure-by-structure account of the reptile skeleton, followed by a classification of the various reptile groups based on osteological characters. This update isdesigned to give, in outline form, an account of the nature of the skeletal system of numerous reptile types both living and extinct.

Download or read book Herpetology written by Laurie J. Vitt and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herpetology has always been one of the most exciting disciplines of zoology. During the past few years the field has continued to grow, yet it has been plagued by scarcity of comprehensive, up-to-date textbooks containing the most important developments. This timely book fills that void. Through skillful synthesis, the author summarizes the diversity in the biology of living amphibians and reptiles and describes the breadth of current herpetological research. Topics covered include the evolution, classification, development, reproduction, population, and environmental issues surrounding the study of amphibians and reptiles. Designed as an advanced undergraduate textbook, Herpetology is a valuable resource for students, practitioners, and interested amateurs alike. Provides an incisive survey and much needed update of the field Emphasizes the biological diversity among amphibians and reptiles Details the most recent research findings, citing ke

Download or read book Amphibian Evolution written by Rainer R. Schoch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the first vertebrates to conquer land and their long journey to become fully independent from the water. It traces the origin of tetrapod features and tries to explain how and why they transformed into organs that permit life on land. Although the major frame of the topic lies in the past 370 million years and necessarily deals with many fossils, it is far from restricted to paleontology. The aim is to achieve a comprehensive picture of amphibian evolution. It focuses on major questions in current paleobiology: how diverse were the early tetrapods? In which environments did they live, and how did they come to be preserved? What do we know about the soft body of extinct amphibians, and what does that tell us about the evolution of crucial organs during the transition to land? How did early amphibians develop and grow, and which were the major factors of their evolution? The Topics in Paleobiology Series is published in collaboration with the Palaeontological Association, and is edited by Professor Mike Benton, University of Bristol. Books in the series provide a summary of the current state of knowledge, a trusted route into the primary literature, and will act as pointers for future directions for research. As well as volumes on individual groups, the series will also deal with topics that have a cross-cutting relevance, such as the evolution of significant ecosystems, particular key times and events in the history of life, climate change, and the application of a new techniques such as molecular palaeontology. The books are written by leading international experts and will be pitched at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in both the paleontological and biological sciences.
