O knihe
Although feeding is not yet been thoroughly studied in many
vertebrates taxa, and different conceptual and
methodological approaches of the concerned scientists make a
synthesis difficult, the aim of the editors is to provide a
comprehensive overview of the feeding design in aquatic and
terrestrial vertebrates with a detailed description of its
functional properties. The book emphasizes the constant
interaction between function and form, behaviour and
morphology in the course of evolution of the feeding
apparatus and way of feeding both complementary and
basically related to survival interspecific competition,
adaptation to environmental changes and adaptive radiations.
Special stress is drawn onquantification of the
observational and experimental data on the morphology and
biomechanics of the feeding design and its element jaws,
teeth, hyoidean apparatus, tongue, in order to allow present
and further comparisons in an evolutionary perspective.
