The definitive history of sharks, as told by a foremost world expert.

Long J: The Secret History of Sharks

The Secret History of Sharks

The Rise of the Ocean's Most Fearsome Predators

"A WONDERFUL READ ... Christine's deep love for turtles comes through on each page."-CRAIG FOSTER, MY OCTOPUS TEACHER "Will appeal to anyone interested in the world around us."-DR. JANE GOODALLFilled with reverence and wonder for the natural world, this captivating book reveals the secret life of sea turtles, one of the oldest living creatures on Earth, and the story of one female scientist's fight to save their future. In 2015, a team of researchers carefully removed a plastic straw from a sea turtle's nostril off the coast of Costa Rica. The disturbing incident, which was captured on video, went viral, leading to corporate straw bans around the world. In this evocative book, reminiscent of Jane Goodall's memoir In the Shadow of Man, the marine biologist behind the camera, Christine Figgener, recounts her own life spent studying and protecting sea turtles. From the time she was a young girl, Figgener was determined to become a biologist, and study the marvels of the marine world. In My Life With Sea Turtles, she shares how she went from a small, gray town on the edge of industry to the lush coastline of Costa Rica, where she fell in love with the local environment and its famous residents: the sea turtles. Figgener describes patrolling the beach at night, swimming with turtles in the open ocean, watching tiny turtles emerge from sandy nests, and risking her life during tropical storms. We learn about her experience as a woman in conservation, a male dominated space where she struggles to be taken seriously. Through discovering the fascinating science of sea turtles and the threats they face today, readers will be inspired to live their own lives differently to ensure the survival of these magnificent creatures.

The array of colours found on the Scarini tribe (family: Labridae) commonly known as the Parrotfish, is truly astounding and is showcased to breathtaking effect in this book. Michelle Brayshaw reveals the array of colour changes which these fish display through ontological (slow) and physiological (fast) processes.

This book succinctly reviews phylogenetic debates for fishes by considering the historical background, summarizing the controversies, sorting through and evaluating competing modern phylogenetic proposals, and synthesizing the results for each major fish group. It evaluates the leading hypotheses in terms of their significance and their implications for the comparative biology of fishes. It asks whether phylogeny makes sense and examines its ability to explain the known facts about a group of fishes.

The tropical environment is unique due to its geographic location, climatic features, intense solar radiation, high temperature, heavy precipitation, less seasonal variation, enhanced food and productivity, faster metabolism, ecological dynamics and co-evolutionary processes that favor niches for specialized species.

This book will fill a need among animal paleopathologists and animal forensic scientists for a text/atlas focused on lesions that commonly appear in skeletal remains. The text describes what is known about disease pathogenesis and occurrence in modern and historical settings and include evolutionary and comparative considerations. It is a stand-alone atlas on animal bone disease with images of lesions on the whole bone, which would facilitate understanding of bone disease and provide insights into disease processes. This book fills a unique niche - a text/atlases on comparative bone pathology that includes images of whole specimens.

A goal of macroevolutionary theory is to explain both diversity and disparity - different sometimes uncorrelated characteristics of lineages. These actively researched questions, the growing number of case studies, and the increasingly rigorous theory, has resulted in the re-examination of classical models for evolutionary tempo and mode. Time-calibrated molecular phylogenies are now used in conjunction with quantitative analyses of morphology to evaluate models of evolution. For example, mathematically simple efforts to understand biologically complex traits (such as body size) are common. The major objective of the proposed work is to present novel methods and case-studies of the tempo and mode of evolution of complex morphologies. Recent innovations in methods for describing and modeling complex morphologies, which have the potential to advance the field still further, will be the primary focus of this intended volume.

The dinosaur-bird transition has been intensively studied using both fossil and embryological evidence. In recent years, the notion that birds are living dinosaurs has become the mainstream opinion in paleontology. But some embryologists and ornithologists remain skeptical and accuse paleontologists of ignoring conflicting evidence. This book resolves these conflicts. Careful re-evaluation of those features in seeming contradiction reveal that such characteristics actually support and corroborate the mainstream view that birds are in fact members of a dinosaurian lineage - they are living dinosaurs.
