Oelschläger Please find some details below. Stefan Huggenberger Bruno Cozzi, Stefan Huggenberger & Helmut H.A. Oelschläger, 2016: Anatomy of Dolphins: Insights into Body Structure and Function. ISBN 9780124072299, eBook ISBN 9780124076556, 456 pages. Academic Press/Elsevier, San Diego. This book is the most comprehensive work on the anatomy of dolphins, featuring the latest expertise on macroscopic anatomy, histology, embryology, functional morphology, and evolutionary biology covering a number of delphinid species and serving as a useful complement for expanding trends in molecular biology and genetics Key Features - Includes high-quality illustrations, drawings, halftone artwork, photographic documentations, microphotos, and tables detailing dolphin anatomy, function, and morphology - Facilitates education and training of students of all basic research and applied sciences dedicated to marine biology and the medical care of marine mammals - Brings together the current knowledge and information on this topic, including those in obscure past or non-English publications, or scattered in short chapters in volumes - Covers a number of delphinid species and serves as a useful complement for expanding trends in molecular biology and genetics Description The Anatomy of Dolphins: Insights into Body Structure and Function is a precise, detailed, fully illustrated, descriptive, and functionally oriented text on the anatomy and morphology of dolphins. It focuses on a number of delphinid species, with keynotes on important dolphin-like genera, such as the harbor porpoise. It also serves as a useful complement for expanding trends and emphases in molecular biology and genetics.
