Opis

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the evidence for the Mesozoic origin and differentiation of mammals, particularly the multituberculates, monotremes, and therians. Leading researchers examine evidence ranging from development and genetic control to cranial ontogeny, basicranial morphology, dental homologies, and postcranial morphology. Emphasis is placed on understanding the evolution of morphological characteristics, on the fossil record, and on the construction of phylogenies based on the analysis of characters and on mammalian distribution. In addition to a synthesis of current understanding, the book offers new research on mammalian evolution which occurred during the Age of Reptiles; the longest time period of mammalian evolution. This cohesive book will be invaluable for taxonomists, evolutionary morphologists, vertebrate paleontologists, and mammalogists for its summary of knowledge on mammal phylogeny and for its wealth of references.
