Download or read book Vertebrate Palaeontology Second Edition written by Michael J. Benton and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2000-04-14 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the evolution of vertebrates is fascinating. Recently, there has been an explosion of new research topics in the field - the closest fossil relatives of the vertebrates, dramatic new fish specimens unlike anything now living, the adaptations required for the move on to land, the relationships of the early amphibians and reptiles, the origins and biology of the dinosaurs, the role of mass extinction in vertebrate evolution, new Mesozoic birds, the earliest mammals, ecology and mammalian diversification, and the origins and evolution of human beings. This book presents a complete outline of the history of vertebrates, based on the latest studies by palaeontologists around the world. New material comes from North and South America, Australia, Europe, China, Africa and Russia. A key aim of the book is to show how vertebrate palaeontologists obtain their information. There is an illustrated account of how to dig up a dinosaur and how to interpret the bones. In addition, detailed case studies explain: how palaeontologists study taphonomy, exceptional preservation, the form and function of bizarre animals, and the reconstruction of phylogeny from cladistic analyses of morphological and molecular data. The new edition is extensively revised, and there is a great deal of new material based on work in the 1990s. There is a new chapter on how to study fossil vertebrates. Another major change is that more emphasis has been given to cladograms. They are set apart from the body of the text, and full lists of diagnostic characters are now given. The book is designed for palaeontology courses in biology and geology departments. It is also aimed at the enthusiast who wants to experience how leading palaeontologists design their research programs and carry out multidisciplinary studies of ancient vertebrates. The book has a strong phylogenetic focus, and this makes it an up-to-date source of the latest broad-scale systematic data on vertebrate evolution. The second edition of a very popular and proven text. Detailed case studies are presented, which show how palaeontologists actually work. Includes an illustrated account of how to dig up a dinosaur, and how to interpret the bones.

Download or read book Vertebrate Palaeontology written by Michael J. Benton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vertebrate palaeontology is a lively field, with new discoveries reported every week... and not only dinosaurs! This new edition reflects the international scope of vertebrate palaeontology, with a special focus on exciting new finds from China. A key aim is to explain the science. Gone are the days of guesswork. Young researchers use impressive new numerical and imaging methods to explore the tree of life, macroevolution, global change, and functional morphology. The fourth edition is completely revised. The cladistic framework is strengthened, and new functional and developmental spreads are added. Study aids include: key questions, research to be done, and recommendations of further reading and web sites. The book is designed for palaeontology courses in biology and geology departments. It is also aimed at enthusiasts who want to experience the flavour of how the research is done. The book is strongly phylogenetic, and this makes it a source of current data on vertebrate evolution.

This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Vertebrate Paleontology for Students of Zoology The brief sketch of our present knowledge of extinct vertebrated animals attempted in this volume, is intended for students of Vertebrate Morphology and Zoology who are desirous of examining in detail the palaeontological aspect of their subject The advanced student has long appreciated the necessity for a more extended acquaintance with the facts of Embryology on completing his elementary course: he now begins to perceive that to understand the varied problems aright, he must also enter somewhat minutely into the past history of life on the globe as revealed by Palaeontology. The latter task in most cases proves more difficult than the former, since the trained powers of observation needed for interpreting the remains of organisms embedded in rock are somewhat different from those acquired in the study of fresh tissues and organs. Moreover, much of the essential literature of the subject is contained in unfamiliar works and serials dealing chiefly with rocks and minerals. An elementary handbook, presenting only the broad outlines of this branch of biological enquiry, will thus perhaps be found useful as an introduction to more elaborate treatises and original memoirs, which are difficult to understand without some preliminary idea of general principles. It is hoped that the plan adopted in the following pages will facilitate the comprehension of these general principles. The more important facts and generalizations are. printed in large type; while the more technical and descriptive matter, which ought to be studied with specimens in a museum, is intercalated in paragraphs of small type.

Download or read book Arthur Smith Woodward written by Z. Johanson and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Smith Woodward was the Natural History Museum’s longest-serving Keeper of Geology and the world’s leading expert on fossil fish. He was also an unwitting victim of the Piltdown fraud, which overshadowed his important scientific contributions. The aim of this book is to honour Smith Woodward’s contributions to vertebrate palaeontology, discuss their relevance today and provide insights into the factors that made him such an eminent scientist. The last few years have seen a resurgence in fossil vertebrate (particularly fish) palaeontology, including new techniques for the ‘virtual’ study of fossils (synchrotron and micro CT-scanning) and new research foci, such as ‘Evo-Devo’ – combining fossils with the development of living animals. This new research is built on a strong foundation, like that provided by Smith Woodward’s work. This collection of papers, authored by some of the leading experts in their fields, covers the many facets of Smith Woodward’s life, legacy and career. It will be a benchmark for studies on one of the leading vertebrate palaeontologists of his generation.
Download or read book Ancient Marine Reptiles written by Jack M. Callaway and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1997-03-12 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vertebrate evolution has led to the convergent appearance of many groups of originally terrestrial animals that now live in the sea. Among these groups are familiar mammals like whales, dolphins, and seals. There are also reptilian lineages (like plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs, thalattosaurs, and others) that have become sea creatures. Most of these marine reptiles, often wrongly called "dinosaurs", are extinct. This edited book is devoted to these extinct groups of marine reptiles. These reptilian analogs represent useful models of the myriad adaptations that permit tetrapods to live in the ocean. First book in more than 80 years devoted exclusively to fossil marine reptiles Documents the most current research on extinct marine reptiles Prepared by the world's most prominent experts in the field Well illustrated
