The bookreviews early attempts at qualitative descriptions of ecomorphologicalpatterns in fishes, especially those of the Russian school. Morerecent, quantitative studies are emphasised, including multivariateapproaches to ecomorphological analysis, the selection of functionallyimportant ecological and morphological variables to analyze, anexperimental approach using performance tests to examine specifichypotheses derived from functional morphology, and the evolutionaryinterpretations of ecomorphological patterns. Six major areas of fishbiology are focused on: feeding, sensory systems, locomotion,respiration, reproduction, and phylogenetic relationships. The 18papers in the volume document: (1) how the morphologyof bony fishesconstrains ecological patterns and the use of resources; (2) whetherecological constraints can narrow the niche beyond the limits imposedby morphology (fundamental vs. realized niche); (3) how communities offishes | 出版日期 | Book 1995 | 关键词 | Meer; adaptation; anatomy; biology; biomechanics; development; ecology; evolution; fish; lake; morphology; repr | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-1356-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-4620-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-017-1356-6Series ISSN 0924-5316 | issn_series | 0924-5316 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1995 |
