Produktbeschreibung

Advances in molecular biology and developmental genetics have contributed to a wealth of new data on the major steps in vertebrate evolution. This volume documents this rapidly developing research and shows how phylogenetics and developmental biology can provide complementary and mutually supportive information about evolutionary events. It brings together contributions from internationally-respected authors from the fields of palaeontology, comparative morphology and developmental genetics. The book is broad enough to appeal to evolutionary biologists and developmental biologists at postgraduate and post-doctorate levels. It is a useful reading for senior undergraduates studying biology, zoology, or developmental biology.
