In this authoritative three-volume reference work, leading researchers bring together current work to provide a comprehensive analysis of the comparative morphology, development, evolution, and functional biology of the skull. Booknews The third volume of the three-volume reference on the vertebrate skull (preceded by v.1: Development and v.2: Patterns of Structural and Systematic Diversity). Volume 3 deals with the vertebrate skull both in the context of its function and in relation to the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that underlie cranial diversity. Annotation c.
