Feeding in Vertebrates: Evolution, Morphology, Behavior, Biomechanics
Description
(Fascinating Life Sciences) 1st ed. 2019 Edition
by Vincent Bels (Editor), Ian Q. Whishaw (Editor)
This book provides students and researchers with reviews of biological questions related to the evolution of feeding by vertebrates in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Based on recent technical developments and novel conceptual approaches, the book covers functional questions on trophic behavior in nearly all vertebrate groups including jawless fishes. The book describes mechanisms and theories for understanding the relationships between feeding structure and feeding behavior. Finally, the book demonstrates the importance of adopting an integrative approach to the trophic system in order to understand evolutionary mechanisms across the biodiversity of vertebrates.
