  • The terms used in this atlas match those appearing in commonly used college zoology texts.
  • Clear, accurate, completely labeled figures including life-cycle illustrations.
  • Numerous dissections of invertebrate and vertebrate organisms are presented for students who have the opportunity to conduct similar dissections.
  • Selected radiographs, CT scans, and MR images depict structures from living persons and thus provide an applied dimension to the human biology portion of the atlas.

About the Authors

Byron J. Adams

Byron grew up on a small farm in rural northeastern California, where his parents and school teachers nurtured his love of the natural world. He completed his undergraduate degree in zoology in 1993 from Brigham Young University with an emphasis in marine biology and his Ph.D. in biological sciences from the University of Nebraska in 1998. Following a short stint as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California-Davis, Byron took his first faculty position at the University of Florida prior to returning to Brigham Young University.

Byron's approach to understanding biology involves inferring evolutionary processes from patterns in nature. His research programs in biodiversity, evolution, and ecology have had the continuous support of the National Science Foundation as well as other agencies, including the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Human Genome Research Institute. His most recent projects involve fieldwork in Antarctica, where he and his colleagues are studying the relationship between biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and climate change. When he's not freezing his butt off in the McMurdo Dry Valleys or the southern Transantarctic Mountains, he makes his home in Woodland Hills, Utah.

John L. Crawley

John spent his early years growing up in Southern California, where he took every opportunity to explore nature and the outdoors. He currently resides in Provo, Utah where he enjoys the proximity to the mountains, desert, and local rivers and lakes.

He received his degree in zoology from Brigham Young University in 1988. While working as a researcher for the National Forest Service and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources in the early 1990s, John was invited to work on his first project for Morton Publishing, A Photographic Atlas for the Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory. After completion of that title John started work on A Photographic Atlas for the Zoology Laboratory. To date John has completed eight titles with Morton Publishing.

John has spent much of his life observing nature and taking pictures. His photography has provided the opportunity for him to travel widely, allowing him to observe and learn about other cultures and lands. His photos have appeared in national ads, magazines, and numerous publications. He has worked for groups such as Delta Airlines, National Geographic, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and many others. His projects with Morton Publishing have been a great fit for his passion for photography and the biological sciences.
