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 This is the second of three volumes providing a comprehensive analysis of the comparative morphology, development, evolution, and functional biology of the vertebrate skull. Volume 2 addresses the phylogenetic origin of the skull, its fundamental structure and histology, and patterns of cranial diversity in extant classes. Annotation c.
