内容説明

The text focuses on the available evidence at all levels of organization across all taxa of subterranean mammals. It is the first unified volume that facilitates comparisons and evaluation of convergent and divergent patterns across phylogeny, biogeography and ecology. It highlights evolutionary patterns of subterranean insectivore (Talpidae and Chrysochloridae) and subterranean herbivore (Geomyidae, Ctenomyinae, Spalacidae, Bathyergidae, Rhizomyidae) mammals. The book focuses on developing a new theory to cope with the ever increasing accumulation of evidence and to test some of the current challenges to evolutionary theory.
