The second edition of The Diversity of Fishes represents a
major revision of the world’s most widely adopted ichthyology
textbook. Expanded and updated, the second edition is illustrated
throughout with striking color photographs depicting the
spectacular evolutionary adaptations of the most ecologically and
taxonomically diverse vertebrate group. The text incorporates the
latest advances in the biology of fishes, covering taxonomy,
anatomy, physiology, biogeography, ecology, and behavior. A new
chapter on genetics and molecular ecology of fishes has been added,
and conservation is emphasized throughout. Hundreds of new and
redrawn illustrations augment readable text, and every chapter has
been revised to reflect the discoveries and greater understanding
achieved during the past decade. Written by a team of
internationally-recognized authorities, the first edition of The
Diversity of Fishes was received with enthusiasm and praise,
and incorporated into ichthyology and fish biology classes around
the globe, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The
second edition is a substantial update of an already classic
reference and text.
