The Dissection of Vertebrates, 3rd Edition serves as a comprehensive dissection manual for comparative vertebrate anatomy students and a reference for vertebrate morphology and paleontology.
Using a systematic approach within a systemic framework, the manual follows an anatomical transition sequence across nine animals, including the lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, cat, and pigeon. It also examines vertebrate kin alongside specialized skeletal preparations and the sheep heart.
Designed for second- and third-year university biology and zoology majors, the text also supports graduate students and professional researchers working in functional anatomy, paleobiology, and related vertebrate disciplines.
