Currently, no consensus as to the morphofunctional steps through which mammals passed to gain the ability to fly by flapping wings has been reached.   Flight of Mammals: From Terrestrial Limbs to Wings is the result of several years of research aimed to fill this gap in the literature. Its conclusions are based on original data obtained by dissections of musculoskeletal system of a number of species and on a biomechanical analysis of these data. In addition to a thorough discussion of anatomy and the means through which mammals acquired flapping flight, more than two-hundred detailed line drawings and images provide a picture of the mechanisms of flight in bats and colugos unavailable in any other source.   The book is of interest to a wide range of biologists, not only to those who study bats. The methods and approaches used by the authors can be also applied to other groups of mammals in order to create morphofunctional scenarios of their evolution.   Authors Aleksandra A. Panyutina, Leonid P. Korzun, and Alexander N. Kuznetsov are all followers of the scientific school of functional morphology developed at Department of Vertebrate Zoology, Faculty of Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia. 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aAnatomy 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aVertebrates 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 606 $aAnimal Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33030 606 $aAnimal Anatomy / Morphology / Histology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25015 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 606 $aVertebrates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25074 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aPhysiology. 615 0$aAnatomy. 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 0$aVertebrates. 615 14$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aAnimal Physiology. 615 24$aAnimal Anatomy / Morphology / Histology. 615 24$aAnimal Ecology. 615 24$aVertebrates. 676 $a576.8 700 $aPanyutina$b Aleksandra A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058335 702 $aKorzun$b Leonid P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aKuznetsov$b Alexander N$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298293503321 996 $aFlight of Mammals: From Terrestrial Limbs to Wings$92499293 997 $aUNINA
