Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many kinds of animals live in Earth's oceans, and many of them have fins and flippers. These special adaptations have developed over the course of many thousands of years. They help animals maneuver through the waters in which they live and hunt. Penguins have flippers to make them move quickly through the water to catch fish to eat. Some fish use their fins to move at rapid speeds to catch their prey. This book explains flipper and fin anatomy and describes how these adaptations help the animals that have them. Conservation issues and threats to these animals' survival are also highlighted.

Download or read book Fins into Limbs written by Brian K. Hall and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago, fish fins evolved into the limbs of land vertebrates and tetrapods. During this transition, some elements of the fin were carried over while new features developed. Lizard limbs, bird wings, and human arms and legs are therefore all evolutionary modifications of the original tetrapod limb. A comprehensive look at the current state of research on fin and limb evolution and development, this volume addresses a wide range of subjects—including growth, structure, maintenance, function, and regeneration. Divided into sections on evolution, development, and transformations, the book begins with a historical introduction to the study of fins and limbs and goes on to consider the evolution of limbs into wings as well as adaptations associated with specialized modes of life, such as digging and burrowing. Fins into Limbs also discusses occasions when evolution appears to have been reversed—in whales, for example, whose front limbs became flippers when they reverted to the water—as well as situations in which limbs are lost, such as in snakes. With contributions from world-renowned researchers, Fins into Limbs will be a font for further investigations in the changing field of evolutionary developmental biology.
