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.
- 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
