BOOK REVIEW: BIOLOGIE A OCHRANA MIHULÍ (BIOLOGY AND PROTECTION OF LAMPREYS)
2016, 74 (1) p. 40-41
Abstract
Lampreys are extant representatives of the ancient vertebrate group, Agnatha, and are one of the oldest groups of living vertebrates in the fossil record, more than 300 million years old. Lamprey fossils are rare because cartilage does not fossilize as readily as bone. The monography, Biologie a ochrana nihula (Biology and protection of lampreys), was published in the Czech Republic last year by Lubomír Hanel, Jan Andreska, Borek Drozd, Petr Hartvich and Stanislav Lusk. The main content of the book deals with biology, protection and conservation of lamprey species in the Czech and Slovak republics.
