Название: Reproductive biology and phylogeny of Cetacea: whales, dolphins, and porpoises
Автор: Miller D.
Аннотация:
This series was founded by the present series editor, Barrie Jamieson, in
consultation with Science Publishers, in 2001 and bears the title ‘Reproductive
Biology and Phylogeny’, followed in each volume with the name of the
taxonomic group which is the subject of the volume. Each publication has one
or more invited volume editors (sometimes the series editor) and a large
number of authors of international repute. The level of the taxonomic group
which is the subject of each volume varies according, largely, to the amount of
information available on the group, the advice of proposed volume editors,
and the interest expressed by the zoological community in the proposed work.
The order of publication of taxonomic groups reflects these concerns, and the
availability of authors for the various chapters, and it is not proposed to
proceed serially through the animal kingdom in a presumed “ladder of life”
sequence. A second aspect of the series is coverage of the phylogeny and
classification of the group, as a necessary framework for an understanding of
reproductive biology. Evidence for relationships from molecular studies is an
important aspect of the chapter on phylogeny and classification. Other
chapters may or may not have phylogenetic themes, according to the interests
of the authors.
