bookbestseller Posted Sunday at 08:15 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:15 PM Forerunners of Mammals: Radiation‚ Histology, Biology (Life of the Past) by Anusuya Chinsamy-TuranEnglish | November 18th, 2011 | ISBN: 0253356970 | 352 pages | True EPUB | 9.04 MBAn in-depth look at the origin and evolutionary radiation of the synapsids.About 320 million years ago a group of reptiles known as the synapsids emerged and forever changed Earth's ecological landscapes. This book discusses the origin and radiation of the synapsids from their sail-backed pelycosaur ancestor to their diverse descendants, the therapsids or mammal-like reptiles, that eventually gave rise to mammals. It further showcases the remarkable evolutionary history of the synapsids in the Karoo Basin of South Africa and the environments that existed at the time. By highlighting studies of synapsid bone microstructure, it offers a unique perspective of how such studies are utilized to reconstruct various aspects of biology, such as growth dynamics, biomechanical function, and the attainment of sexual and skeletal maturity. A series of chapters outline the radiation and phylogenetic relationships of major synapsid lineages and provide direct insight into how bone histological analyses have led to an appreciation of these enigmatic animals as once-living creatures. The penultimate chapter examines the early radiation of mammals from their nonmammalian cynodont ancestors, and the book concludes by engaging the intriguing question of when and where endothermy evolved among the therapsids.[b]Uploady[/b]https://uploady.io/2wka3sp1gdw8/ais1v.7zRapidGatorhttps://rg.to/file/aac3e5a39e5f378a52ccdf60c6859b81/ais1v.7z.html[b]UploadCloud[/b]https://www.uploadcloud.pro/jecuanfcmgr3/ais1v.7z.htmlFikperhttps://fikper.com/kMtSJpkXJy/ais1v.7z.htmlFreeDLhttps://frdl.io/fgr4jlvr2rnr/ais1v.7z.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
