Ontogeny, functional ecology, and evolution of bats [E-Book] / edited by Rick A. Adams and Scott C. Pedersen.
The study of animal development has deep historical roots in codifying the field of evolutionary biology. In the 1940s evolutionary theory became engulfed by analyses of microevolutionary genetics and development became focused on mechanisms, forsaking the evolutionary implications of ontogeny. Rece...
