This two-volume set comprises 26 contributions written by international scholars in the fields of vertebrate morphology, animal biology, marine ecology, ethology and animal psychology, neurobiology and behavior, ichthyology, soil sciences, and many other fields. The first volume addresses catfish anatomy; function and functional morphology; and phylogeny, systematics, and some problematic groups. The catfish fossil record, ecology and ethology, development, and sensory biology are covered in the second volume. (Note: the original printing of volume 2 had some software-caused printing errors; the publisher has reprinted.) Illustrations throughout, mostly detailed b&w diagrams along with a few color images, are good. Distributed in the US by Enfield. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Volume 1 Part 1 Anatomy: catfish head skeleton - an overview; review of
superficial cranial musculature of catfishes, with comments on plesiomorphic
states; morphology, development and evolution of the Weberian apparatus in
catfish; the siluriform postcranial skeleton - an overview; internal anatomy
of catfish; the skin of catfish. Part 2 Function and functional morphology:
functional morphology of catfish out movements of barbels; feeding
mechanisms; sound production, spine locking and related adaptations; venom
apparatus, acanthotoxins, crinotoxins and other skin secretions. Part 3
Phylogeny, systematics and some problematic groups: state of the art of
recent siluriform systematics; higher-level phylogeny of siluriformes
(Teleostei, Ostariophysi) - an overview; phylogeny and classification of
Pimelodidae; anatomy, phylogeny and taxonomy of Amphilidae (Teleostei -
siluriformes); phylogeny and systematics of Bagridae; taxonomy and phylogeny
of Clariidae - an overview. Volume 2 Part 4 Fossil Record: palaeontology and
palaeobiogeography of catfishes; ecology and behaviour of catfishes. Part 5
Ecology and ethology: life cycles, limiting factors and behavioural ecology
of four loricariid catfishes in a Panamanian stream; ecology and ethology of
subterranean catfishes. Part 6 Development: embryonic and larval development
in catfishes. Part 7 Sensory biology: vision of catfishes; audition;
olfactory system in catfishes; taste and solitary chemorecepter cells; nitric
oxide synthase in the gill and air-sac of the Indian catfish heteropneustes
fossilis.
