0/5 ( ratings)

《中国新近纪犀牛》（邓涛著，陈瑜绘）详述了中国新近纪犀牛化石的分类、演化、产地、地层、年代、生态、行为、环境演变等内容，同时涉及化石的发现过程和研究历史等知识，配以大量艺术性与科学性俱佳的解剖素描图和形态复原图。书中包含中国已知新近纪的全部犀类化石，并对各个物种进行系统的修正厘定，归并了大量此前较为混乱的同物异名，是反映中国新近纪犀牛化石全面研究成果的科技著作。因为犀牛并非仅限于新近纪的地区性起源与演化，本书也在时间上涉及古近纪和第四纪，在空间上涉及世界范围内犀牛的适应辐射、繁盛兴旺和衰退灭绝过程，向读者展示更广阔的科学视野。
In the book Chinese Neogene Rhinoceroses that wrote by Prof. Deng Tao and illustrated by Chen Yu, the taxonomy, evolution, localities, stratigraphy, age, ecology, behaviors, and environments of this specific rhinoceros taxon are described and discussed, and the discovery processes and research history of these rhinoceros fossils are also involved, illustrating with a large number of artistic, scientific anatomical drawings and morphological restoration pictures. In this book, all the known Chinese Neogene rhinoceroses are included, each species is defined and revised systematically, and a number of synonymies are referred to valid taxa, so it is a scientific publication reflecting updated and well-rounded research findings on the Chinese Neogene rhinoceroses. Because the origin and evolution of the Chinese Neogene rhinoceroses were not restricted regionally, the adaptive radiation, flourishing, declining, and extinction of rhinoceroses in the world from Paleogene to Quaternary are introduced, showing a broader scientific perspective to readers. This book is suitable to read for both professionals of paleontology, geology, biology, and amateurs of paleontology.
