Marine Mammals: Evolutionary Biology, Third Edition, is a succinct, yet comprehensive text devoted to the systematics, evolution, morphology, ecology, physiology, and behavior of marine mammals. Earlier editions of this valuable work are considered required reading for all marine biologists concerned with marine mammals, and this text continues that tradition of excellence with updated citations and an expansion of nearly every chapter that includes full color photographs and distribution maps. Key features include: – Comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the biology of all marine mammals; – provides a phylogenetic framework that integrates phylogeny with behavior and ecology; – features chapter summaries, further readings, an appendix, glossary and an extensive bibliography; – exciting new color photographs and additional distribution maps. 713 p.
