درباره این کتاب:
The third
edition of The Diversity of Fishes is a
major revision of the widely adopted
ichthyology textbook, incorporating the
latest advances in the biology of fishes
and covering taxonomy, anatomy,
physiology, biogeography, ecology, and
behavior. Key information on the evolution
of various fishes is also presented,
providing expansive and conclusive
coverage on all key topics pertaining to
the field.
To aid in reader comprehension, each
chapter begins with a summary that
provides a broad overview of the content
of that chapter, which may be particularly
useful for those using the text for a
course who don’t intend to address every
chapter in detail. Detailed color
photographs throughout the book
demonstrate just some of the diversity and
beauty of fishes that attract many to the
field. A companion website provides
related videos selected by the authors,
instructor resources, and additional
references and websites for further
reading.
Sample topics covered and learning
resources included in The Diversity of
Fishes are as follows:
How molecular genetics has transformed
many aspects of ichthyology The close
relationship between structure and
function, including adaptations to special
environments Many physical and behavioral
adaptations reflecting the fact that many
fishes are both predators and prey Fish
interactions with other species within
fish assemblages and broader communities,
plus their impacts on ecosystems Global
maps that more accurately represent the
comparative sizes of oceans and land
masses than maps used in prior editions
For students, instructors, and individuals
with an interest in ichthyology, The
Diversity of Fishes is an all-in-one
introductory resource to the field,
presenting vast opportunities for
learning, many additional resources to aid
in information retention, and helpful
recommendations on where to go to explore
specific topics further..
