Publisher's Synopsis
This detailed scientific study, "The Lateral Line System Of Sense Organs In Some American Amphibia, And Comparison With Dipnoans," delves into the intricate sensory mechanisms of American amphibians. Authored by Benjamin Freeman Kingsbury, the work provides a comprehensive examination of the lateral line systemâ"a crucial sensory apparatus that allows these creatures to detect movements and pressure changes in the surrounding water.
The research includes detailed anatomical descriptions and comparative analyses with dipnoans (lungfish), offering valuable insights into the evolutionary relationships and functional adaptations of these fascinating species. This book is an essential resource for zoologists, anatomists, and anyone interested in the sensory biology of aquatic vertebrates.
