Useful to a wide variety of fish biologists
Fish are the most diverse group of living vertebrates. They occupy a range of habitats
from high mountain lakes to the deepest ocean abyss. Such incredible ecological diversity
and the resulting variety in lifestyle, anatomy, physiology, and behavior make unraveling the
evolutionary history of fishes a challenging task.
The successor of a classic volume by the same title, Interrelationships of Fishes
provides a comprehensive and thorough review of fish evolutionary history. It
covers the latest in state-of-the-art systematics and classifications for many of the major
groups of fishes.
