Vertebrate Life, 10th Edition blends information about anatomy, physiology, ecology, and behaviour to present vertebrates within an evolutionary context. Engaging and readable, the 10th edition features full color throughout with completely new photographs and line art. Important advances in vertebrate biology are highlighted, including the increasing influence of molecular phylogenies, insights provided by evo-devo, and our growing appreciation of the significance of developmental
plasticity and epigenetics. Taxon-specific conservation issues are discussed in each chapter that treats extant forms.
