The book emphasizes the constantinteraction between function and form, behaviour andmorphology in the course ofevolution of the feedingapparatus and way of feeding both complementaryandbasically related to survival interspecific competition,adaptation to environmental changes and adaptive radiations.Special stress is drawn onquantification of theobservational and experimental data on the morphology andbiomechanics of the feeding design and its element jaws,teeth, hyoidean apparatus, tongue, in order to allow presentand further comparisons in an evolutionary perspective. | Pindex | Book 1994 |
