Neurobiology of Monotremes: Brain Evolution in Our Distant Mammalian Cousins
Author(s): Ken Ashwell
The monotremes are an unusual and evolutionarily important group of mammals showing striking behavioural and physiological adaptations to their niches. They are the only mammals exhibiting electroreception (in the trigeminal sensory pathways) and the echidna shows distinctive olfactory specialisations. This book brings together current information on the development, structure, function and behavioural ecology of the monotremes.
