The Morphological Variability of the European Aurochs (Bos primigenius) from the Middle Pleistocene to its Extinction: A zooarchaeological study
ISBN: 9781407314839 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The aurochs (Bos primigenius) is generally agreed to be the wild ancestor of domestic cattle (Bos taurus) and therefore an in-depth knowledge of this animal is key to research exploring human-cattle interactions, and the origins and spread of cattle domestication. Domestic cattle are smaller than their wild ancestors, but there is also a degree of overlap between the two species, which means that distinguishing them can be problematic. However, previous analyses of aurochs morphology have generally been patchy, and do not provide a picture of aurochs variation across Europe according to...

Bone Histology of Fossil Tetrapods: Advancing Methods, Analysis, and Interpretation
ISBN: 9780520273528 / Angielski / Twarda / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The microscopic examination of fossilized bone tissue is a sophisticated and increasingly important analytical tool for understanding the life history of ancient organisms. This book provides an essential primer and manual for using fossil bone histology to investigate the biology of extinct tetrapods. Twelve experts summarize advances in the field over the past three decades, reviewing fundamental basics of bone microanatomy and physiology. Research specimen selection, thin-section preparation, and data analysis are addressed in detail. The authors also outline methods and issues in bone...

Les petits bovidés (Caprini et Rupicaprini) pléistocènes dans le bassin méditerranéen et le Caucase: Etude paléontologique, biostratigraphique, archéo
ISBN: 9781841716725 / Francuski / Miękka / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A detailed study of the exploitation of small bovine species based on faunal assemblages from eight sites in the east Pyrenees, the Languedoc region of France, southern Turkey and the Caucasus. Four main species are identified ( Ovis, Hermitragus, Capra and Rupicapri ) and analysed, with comparisons drawn between the sites in the study, and with a view to investigating the subsistence behaviour of people living in these areas during the Pleistocene. Consideration of the effects of changing environmental conditions on species levels and human behaviour is also acknowledged. French text.

Reassessing Paleolithic Subsistence: The Neandertal and Modern Human Foragers of Saint-Césaire
ISBN: 9781107023277 / Angielski / Twarda / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The contribution of Neandertals to the biological and cultural emergence of early modern humans remains highly debated in anthropology. Particularly controversial is the long-held view that Neandertals in Western Europe were replaced 30,000 to 40,000 years ago by early modern humans expanding out of Africa. This book contributes to this debate by exploring the diets and foraging patterns of both Neandertals and early modern humans. Eugene Morin examines the faunal remains from Saint-Cesaire in France, which contains an exceptionally long and detailed chronological sequence, as well as...

An Evolutionary Study of Some Archaeologically Significant Avian Taxa in the Quaternary of the Western Palaearctic
ISBN: 9781407300894 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work sets out to examine four taxa of birds from the Quaternary of Europe that exhibit interesting morphological anomalies - cranes (Grus), grouse/ptarmigans (Lagopus), ravens (Corvus corax) and starlings (Sturnus) - to address whether these were the result of inter- or intraspecific processes. Modern skeletal material of these taxa from a wide geographical area was examined so as to make a more realistic assessment of the fossils than had previously been achieved. Similarly, fossils were studied from a wider geographical and temporal range than before. The study of the four chosen taxa...

Amphibian Evolution : The Life of Early Land Vertebrates
ISBN: 9780470671771 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book focuses on the first vertebrates to conquer land and their long journey to become fully independent from the water. It traces the origin of tetrapod features and tries to explain how and why they transformed into organs that permit life on land. Although the major frame of the topic lies in the past 370 million years and necessarily deals with many fossils, it is far from restricted to paleontology. The aim is to achieve a comprehensive picture of amphibian evolution. It focuses on major questions in current paleobiology: how diverse were the early tetrapods? In which...

The Extinction of Sivapithecus: Faunal and Environmental Changes Surrounding the Disappearance of a Miocene Hominoid in the Siwaliks of Pakistan
ISBN: 9780391042070 / Angielski / Twarda / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sherry V. Nelson examines the adaptations and extinction of Sivapithecus, a Miocene hominoid, in the Siwaliks of Pakistan. Three different studies involving dental microwear and stable isotopic analyses are interwoven to provide reconstructions of the preferred landscape, climate, and diet of Sivapithecus as well as changes in the environment that led to its extinction. This book presents new techniques that allow for a more detailed analysis of faunal and environmental change than ever before documented for an ape clade throughout its radiation and demise.

Ancient Marine Reptiles
ISBN: 9780121552107 / Angielski / Twarda / 501 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Vertebrate evolution has led to the convergent appearance of many groups of originally terrestrial animals that now live in the sea. Among these groups are familiar mammals like whales, dolphins, and seals. There are also reptilian lineages (like plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, mosasaurs, thalattosaurs, and others) that have become sea creatures. Most of these marine reptiles, often wrongly called "dinosaurs," are extinct. This edited book is devoted to these extinct groups of marine reptiles. These reptilian analogs represent useful models of the myriad adaptations that permit tetrapods to live...

The Evolution of Artiodactyls
ISBN: 9780801887352 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Artiodactyls are diverse and successful hoofed mammals, represented by nearly two hundred living species of pigs, peccaries, hippos, camels, deer, sheep, cattle, giraffes, and other even-toed ungulates. In the recent years, a tremendous amount of research has been conducted on this important order. The Evolution of Artiodactyls synthesizes this research into a single, comprehensive volume. Here Donald R. Prothero, Scott E. Foss, and a team of distinguished international experts explore a variety of topics, including molecular phylogeny of terrestrial artiodactyls phylogenetic...
