  • More about The Teeth of Non-mammalian Vertebrates: Form, Function, Development and Growth

The Teeth of Non-Mammalian Vertebrates: Form, Function, Development, and Growth, Second Edition, is a comprehensive survey of the diverse tooth forms among non-mammalian vertebrates, based on descriptions of approximately 450 species from 170 families. It discusses functional morphology, tooth attachment, and the relationship between tooth form and function. Four chapters review current topics with considerable research activity, including tooth development, replacement, and the structure, formation, and evolution of dental hard tissues. The book is authored by internationally recognized experts and reflects the resurgence of interest in non-mammalian vertebrate dentitions as experimental systems for understanding genetic changes in tooth and jaw evolution.

The Teeth of Non-Mammalian Vertebrates: Form, Function, Development, and Growth, Second Edition, is an extensive exploration of the dental structures and dentitions of living fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. This comprehensive book presents a detailed survey of the diverse range of tooth forms observed in non-mammalian vertebrates, based on descriptions of approximately 450 species belonging to around 170 families. In this latest edition, the authors delve into the functional morphology of feeding, the attachment of teeth, and the relationship between tooth form and function, accompanied by a comprehensive and up-to-date reference list for each chapter.

Following the detailed descriptions of teeth and dentitions within each class, four chapters review current topics with significant research activity. These chapters cover tooth development, tooth replacement, and the structure, formation, and evolution of dental hard tissues. The Teeth of Non-Mammalian Vertebrates: Form, Function, Development, and Growth, Second Edition has been authored by renowned experts and researchers in the field. This edition reflects the growing interest in the dentitions of non-mammalian vertebrates as experimental systems to understand genetic changes in the evolution of teeth and jaws.
