An integrative view of Placental Mammals origin and evolution,
By
This review is from: The Rise of Placental Mammals: Origins and Relationships of the Major Extant Clades (Hardcover)
This new book offers a whole scope of the evolution of each main group of placental mammals, undiscovers the phylogenetic position of several previously unclassified taxa and integrates, as soon as possible, both molecular and paleontological perspectives of mammal classification. The chapters on bats, rodents and whales summarize the state of the art knowledge of scientifical research in mammalogy dealing with these critical issues. Perhaps, it would have been very interesting the addition of Meridiungulata, the main South American taxon, which is not mentioned in tthis revision. However, all other main taxa are examined thorougly and a wealth of genetic and morphological information is clearly exposed. A superb addition to all scientific libraries.
