Description

Explore the biological evolution of mammalian flight with this detailed scientific study from Springer. This book provides a fresh explanation for how mammals transitioned from terrestrial limbs to wings, offering deep morphological descriptions of species capable of flapping flight. Readers will find comprehensive analysis of the skeletomuscular apparatus within the shoulder girdle and forelimbs of tree shrews, flying lemurs, and bats. The text focuses on identifying specific features of the skeleton and joints to better understand these biological structures. Beyond anatomy, the book develops kinematic models for the shoulder girdle elements to explain the basic locomotor patterns of bats and flying lemurs. By using statics to analyze the most important locomotor postures, this work serves as a specialized resource for those studying animal physiology and evolutionary biology.
