Academic Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-12-802446-1 (ISBN)
The conceptual clarity, precision, and comprehensive and updated display of the topographical anatomy of the body of cetaceans in the atlas support and illustrate the authors’ related work, serving as a comprehensive reference for those who are more specifically interested in the details of the anatomy and morphology of porpoises, dolphins and whales.
Dr. Stefan Huggenberger is Lecturer and Assistant Professor at the Institute of Anatomy and Clinical Morphology within the Witten/Herdecke University, Germany. He obtained his PhD from Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, and held post-doc positions in zoology at Potsdam University and the University of Cologne. Dr. Huggenberger’s research focuses on the comparative anatomy of dolphins and whales. He has multi-decadal teaching experience in comparative anatomy and has written multiple textbooks including the first edition of Anatomy of Dolphins (Elsevier), Atlas of the Anatomy of Dolphins and Whales (Elsevier), Human Neuroanatomy, The Human Brainstem: Anatomy and Pathology, and Neuroanatomy of the Mouse: An Introduction. Helmut Oelschläger (Dr.rer.nat.) is a senior lecturer, senior scientist and professor in human anatomy. After studying biology and chemistry in Tübingen (Germany) he made his Ph.D. and habilitation in Frankfurt am Main. He received several scientific awards and organized two marine mammal workshops (Kyoto and Tokyo 2000, Frankfurt 2001). Prof. Oelschläger is an experienced morphologist and neurobiologist and received numerous grants. Scientific topics are: the terminal nerve, magnetic orientation in mammals and the structure of the mammalian head and nervous system (sensory organs, brainstem, neocortex, ontogenetic development). His main focus lies on the comparative neurobiology and the evolution of whales and dolphins. Dr. Bruno Cozzi is Professor of Veterinary Anatomy and Senior Scientist at the University of Padova, Italy. He obtained his DVM from the University of Milan, Italy, and his PhD in Neurobiology from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. His professional experience spans veterinary and comparative anatomy fields, within which he specializes in the neuroanatomy and physiology of marine mammals, large herbivores, and humans. He has multi-decadal teaching experience in veterinary anatomy and has written multiple textbooks including the first edition of Anatomy of Dolphins (Elsevier), Atlas of the Anatomy of Dolphins and Whales (Elsevier), and Human Neuroanatomy.
