Evolution of Herbivory in Terrestrial Vertebrates: Perspectives from the Fossil Record Hardcover - 2000 - 1st Edition

by Hans-Dieter Sues (Editor)


From the publisher

Although herbivory probably first appeared over 300 million years ago, it only became established as a common feeding strategy during Late Permian times. Subsequently, herbivory evolved in numerous lineages of terrestrial vertebrates, and the acquisition of this mode of feeding was frequently associated with considerable evolutionary diversification in those lineages. This book represents a comprehensive overview of the evolution of herbivory in land-dwelling amniote tetrapods in recent years. In Evolution of Herbivory in Terrestrial Vertebrates, leading experts review the evolutionary history and structural adaptations required for feeding on plants in the major groups of land-dwelling vertebrates, especially dinosaurs and ungulate mammals. As such, this volume will be the definitive reference source on this topic for evolutionary biologists and vertebrate paleontologists.

First line

Understanding the ecological attributes of extinct organisms has long been a major research topic in paleobiology, dating back to the pioneering work of the French paleontologist Georges Cuvier in the early nineteenth century.
