Kardong Kenneth ISE Vertebrates: Comparative Anatomy Function Evolution

This one-semester text is designed for an upper-level majors course. <i>Vertebrates </i>features a unique emphasis on function and evolution of vertebrates, complete anatomical detail, and excellent pedagogy. Vertebrate groups are organized phylogenetically, and their systems discussed within such a context. Morphology is foremost, but the author has developed and integrated an understanding of function and evolution into the discussion of anatomy of the various systems.
