The Rise of Placental Mammals : Origins and Relationships of the Major Extant Clades
Editorial Reviews
Science, July 2005
. . . welcome bedside reading for all mammal systematicists and anyone interested in the evolution of mammals.
Review
"Placental Mammals achieves a balance between molecular work, on the one hand, and anatomical and paleontological work, on the other. Influential figures of twentieth-century studies of placental mammalian phylogenetics are fulsomely acknowledged, particularly W. K. Gregory and G. G. Simpson... A complete treatment of uniformly high quality has emerged... A tribute to the vision and dynamism of the editors, and a vindication of their choice of contributors... This timely volume somehow represents that biological cliché: a new synthesis." -- Trends in Ecology and Evolution
"The volume should be welcome bedside reading for all mammal systematicists and anyone interested in the evolution of mammals." -- Science
"An excellent summary of current thinking about the higher levels of mammalian evolution." -- Choice
