Description
Berta and Sumich have succeeded yet again in creating superior marine reading! This book is a succinct yet comprehensive text devoted
to the systematics, evolution, morphology, ecology, physiology, and behavior of marine mammals. The first edition, considered the leading
text in the field, is required reading for all marine biologists concerned with marine mammals. Revisions include updates of citations,
expansion of nearly every chapter and full color photographs. This title continues the tradition by fully expanding and updating nearly
all chapters.
Audience:
Vertebrate zoologists, mammalogists, marine biologists, and those interested in the natural history, evolution, systematics, and behavior
of marine mammals. Researchers, faculty, graduate students and advanced undergraduates interested in mammals, marine biology, and many
related disciplines
