Description
“Atlas of the Anatomy of Dolphins and Whales” is a detailed, fully
illustrated atlas on the anatomy and morphology of toothed and
whalebone whales. The book provides basic knowledge on anatomical
structures, in particular, soft tissues, and functions as a standalone
reference work for dissecting rooms and labs, and for those sampling
stranded and by-caught dolphins in the field. As a companion and
supplement to Anatomy of Dolphins: Insights into Body Structure and
Function, this atlas will be of great interest to the scientific
community, including veterinarians and biologists, as a book of
reference. With a modern approach to dolphin anatomy and morphology,
this atlas provides the extensive knowledge necessary to practitioners
and theoretical scientists such as evolutionary biologists.
The conceptual clarity, precision, and comprehensive and updated
display of the topographical anatomy of the body of cetaceans in the
atlas support and illustrate the authors’ related work, serving as a
comprehensive reference for those who are more specifically interested
in the details of the anatomy and morphology of porpoises, dolphins
and whales.
Key Features
Offers a single reference source and useful teaching tool for
visualizing the integrated body and its components
Functions as a helpful method for demonstrating the animal’s anatomy
prior to dissection, and for teaching topographic and comparative
anatomy
Provides a unique and authoritative resource that explicitly relates
the gross and microscopic anatomy of cetacean organs and tissues
The prenatal development of dolphins is largely achieved
Readership
Vertebrate zoologists, mammalogists, marine biologists, veterinary
medicine researchers and those interested in the anatomy, evolutionary
biology, and morphology of dolphins. Field biologists and
veterinarians who work with dolphins in captivity or in coastal and
off-shore environments. Researchers, faculty, graduate students and
advanced undergraduates interested in these disciplines or teaching a
class in marine biology, zoology or veterinary medicine. Volunteers
involved in stranding networks
