| Resumen: |
Este libro proporciona a estudiantes e investigadores revisiones de cuestiones biológicas relacionadas con la evolución de la alimentación de los vertebrados en ambientes acuáticos y terrestres. Basado en avances técnicos recientes y enfoques conceptuales novedosos, el libro cubre cuestiones funcionales sobre el comportamiento trófico en casi todos los grupos de vertebrados, incluidos los peces sin mandÃbula. El libro describe mecanismos y teorÃas para comprender las relaciones entre la estructura alimentaria y el comportamiento alimentario. Finalmente, el libro demuestra la importancia de adoptar un enfoque integrador del sistema trófico para comprender los mecanismos evolutivos en la biodiversidad de los vertebrados. |

| Summary : |
This book provides students and researchers with reviews of biological questions related to the evolution of feeding by vertebrates in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Based on recent technical developments and novel conceptual approaches, the book covers functional questions on trophic behavior in nearly all vertebrate groups including jawless fishes. The book describes mechanisms and theories for understanding the relationships between feeding structure and feeding behavior. Finally, the book demonstrates the importance of adopting an integrative approach to the trophic system in order to understand evolutionary mechanisms across the biodiversity of vertebrates. |
