Synopsis
Covers functional questions on trophic behavior in nearly all vertebrate lineages, so as to provide major baselines for understanding the functioning of these organisms Presents the mechanisms underlying the diversity of vertebrates in aquatic and terrestrial environments within the latest phylogenetic contexts, using a comparative approach Offers a global perspective presented by leading experts from Europe, the USA, Australia, and South Africa, This book provides students and researchers with reviews of biological questions related to the evolution of feeding by vertebrates in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Based on recent technical developments and novel conceptual approaches, the book covers functional questions on trophic behavior in nearly all vertebrate groups including jawless fishes. The book describes mechanisms and theories for understanding the relationships between feeding structure and feeding behavior. Finally, the book demonstrates the importance of adopting an integrative approach to the trophic system in order to understand evolutionary mechanisms across the biodiversity of vertebrates.
