Found in every major habitat on earth, they possess a truly remarkable range of morphological, ecological, and behavioral adaptations. The fossil record of amniotes extends back three hundred million years and reveals much about modern biological diversity of form and function. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A collaborative effort of twenty-four researchers, \u003ci\u003eAmniote Paleobiology\u003c\/i\u003e presents thirteen new and important scientific perspectives on the evolution and biology of this familiar group. It includes new discoveries of dinosaurs and primitive relatives of mammals; studies of mammalian chewing and locomotion; and examinations of the evolutionary process in plesiosaurs, mammals, and dinosaurs. Emphasizing the rich variety of analytical techniques available to vertebrate paleontologists-from traditional description to multivariate morphometrics and complex three-dimensional kinematics-\u003ci\u003eAmniote Paleobiology\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to understand how species are related to each other and what these relationships reveal about changes in anatomy and function over time. A timely synthesis of modern contributions to the field of evolutionary studies, \u003ci\u003eAmniote Paleobiology\u003c\/i\u003e furthers our understanding of this diverse group.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Carrano\u003c\/b\u003e is curator of dinosaurs in the Department of Paleobiology at the Smithsonian Institution. \u003cb\u003eTimothy Gaudin\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor in the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. \u003cb\u003eRichard Blob\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Clemson University. \u003cb\u003eJohn Wible\u003c\/b\u003e is curator of mammals at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.18 x 9 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42038979461200,"sku":"9780226094786","price":107.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/TlVxQnYxbjV4NXFZaDdtS0xUenc4Zz09.webp?v=1771841235","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/amniote-paleobiology-perspectives-on-the-evolution-of-mammals-birds-and-reptiles-a-volume-honoring-james-allen-hopson-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
