Fishbeck, Aurora M. Print ISBN Suggested Student Retail Price. Comparative Anatomy: Manual of Vertebrate Dissection, 3e quantity. Examples of interior pages:. What's New in this Edition. Table of Contents. Instructor Resources. Features Comprehensive Coverage An overview of the evolution of vertebrate systems provides students with a detailed synopsis prior to beginning the dissections.

Evolutionary concepts, comparative morphology, and histology are covered comprehensively. Includes coverage of the pigeon, perch, frog, lamprey, dogfish shark, mudpuppy, and cat. It is appropriate for courses in comparative anatomy, vertebrate zoology, or any course in which the featured vertebrates are studied. Includes coverage of the lamprey, dogfish shark, perch, mudpuppy, bullfrog, pigeon, and cat. Evolutionary concepts, comparative morphology, and histology are covered comprehensively.

Loose-leaf and three-hole drilled. This high-quality laboratory manual may accompany any comparative anatomy text, but correlates directly to Kardong's Vertebrates: Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution text. This lab manual carefully guides students through dissections and is richly illustrated. First and foremost, the basic animal architecture is presented in a clear and concise manner. Throughout the dissections, the authors pause strategically to bring the students' attention to the significance of the material they have just covered.

The Dissection of Vertebrates, Second Edition, provides students with a manual that combines pedalogical effective text with high-quality, accurate, and attractive visual references.

Using a systemic approach within a systematic framework for each vertebrate, this book covers several animals commonly used in providing an anatomical transition sequence. Seven animals are covered: lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, pigeon, and cat. This updated version include a revised systemic section of the introductory chapter; corrections to several parts of the existing text and images; new comparative skull sections included as part of the existing vertebrates; and a companion site with image bank.

This text is designed for 2nd or 3rd year university level comparative vertebrate anatomy courses. Such courses are usually two-semester courses, and may either be a required course or an elective.

It is typically a required course for Biology and Zoology majors, as well as for some Forensics and Criminology programs, and offered as an elective for many other non-zoology science majors. This text carefully guides students through dissections and is richly illustrated. Ideal for undergraduate comparative anatomy courses, this classic manual combines comprehensive illustrations, text, and a clear, readable design.

Organisms include protochordates, lampry, dogfish shark, mud puppy, and cat. Detailed and concise dissection directions, updated valuable information and extraordinary illustrations make The Dissection of Vertebrates, 3rd Edition the new ideal manual for students in comparative vertebrate anatomy, as well as a superb reference for vertebrate and functional morphology, vertebrate paleontology, and advanced level vertebrate courses, such as in mammalogy, ornithology, ichthyology, and herpetology.

This new edition features updated and expanded phylogenetic coverage, revisions to the illustrations and text of the lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, cat, pigeon, and reptile skull chapters, and new sections on amphioxus or lancelet Branchiostoma, Cephalochodata , a sea squirt Ciona, Urochordata , shark musculature, a gravid shark, shark embryo, cat musculature, and the sheep heart.

Using the same systematic approach within a systemic framework as the first two editions, The Dissection of Vertebrates, 3rd Edition covers several animals commonly used in providing an anatomical transition sequence. Nine animals are covered: amphioxus, sea squirt, lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, cat, and pigeon, plus five reptile skulls, two mammal skulls, and the sheep heart.

Winner of a Textbook Excellence Award College Texty from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association Seven detailed vertebrate dissections, providing a systemic approach Includes carefully developed directions for dissection Original, high-quality award-winning illustrations Clear and sharp photographs Expanded and updated features on phylogenetic coverage New sections on: amphioxus Cephalochordata ; sea squirt Urochordata ; shark musculature; gravid shark; shark embryo; cat musculature; sheep heart.

The Dissection of Vertebrates covers several vertebrates commonly used in providing a transitional sequence in morphology.

With illustrations on seven vertebrates — lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, cat, pigeon — this is the first book of its kind to include high-quality, digitally rendered illustrations. It is organized by individual organism to facilitate classroom presentation. This illustrated, full-color primary dissection manual is ideal for use by students or practitioners working with vertebrate anatomy.

This book is also recommended for researchers in vertebrate and functional morphology and comparative anatomy.
