N2  - This one-semester text is designed for an upper-level majors course. Vertebrates feature a unique emphasis on the function and evolution of vertebrates, complete anatomical detail, and excellent pedagogy. Vertebrate groups are organized phylogenetically, and their systems discussed within such a context. Morphology is foremost, but the author has developed and integrated an understanding of function and evolution into the discussion of the anatomy of the various systems
