《中國新近紀犀牛》(鄧濤著,陳瑜繪)詳述了中國新近紀犀牛化石的分類、演化、產地、地層、年代、生態(tài)、行為、環(huán)境演變等內容,同時涉及化石的發(fā)現(xiàn)過程和研究歷史等知識,配以大量藝術性與科學性俱佳的解剖素描圖和形態(tài)復原圖。書中包含中國已知新近紀的全部犀類化石,并對各個物種進行系統(tǒng)的修正厘定,歸并了大量此前較為混亂的同物異名,是反映中國新近紀犀牛化石全面研究成果的科技著作。因為犀牛并非僅限于新近紀的地區(qū)性起源與演化,本書也在時間上涉及古近紀和第四紀,在空間上涉及世界范圍內犀牛的適應輻射、繁盛興旺和衰退滅絕過程,向讀者展示更廣闊的科學視野。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.
