Jeffrey Graham provides a concise overview of air-breathing biology, presenting a synoptic treatment of all the known air-breathing fish species, detailing the life history, ecology, and physiology of nearly 300 species. Each chapter provides an historical background, and documents air-breathing behavior, morphological and physiological adaptations, current status, and anticipates future research. Amply referenced, with more than 1,000 citations and many detailed figures and comprehensive tables, Air breathing Fishes: Evolution, diversity, and Adaptation is a groundbreaking work, one that will influenced this field well into the next century.
