Completely rev. ed. of: An atlas of distribution of the freshwater fish families of the world.

Print Book & E-Book. Tim M. Berra received his . in biology from St. Louis University, Missouri. in biology from Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. ISBN 9780120931569, 9780080532011. He was awarded a Fulbright Post-doctoral Fellowship to the Australian National University in Canberra in 1969-1970; in 1971 he joined the faculty of the University of Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby. He joined the Department of Zoology at Ohio State University reaching the rank of Full Professor in 1985.

Berra's next book, An Atlas of Distribution of the Freshwater Fish Families of the World, is a significant contribution to the field of zoogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of animals. His most important contribution so far has been the controversial Evolution and the Myth of Creationism: A Basic Guide to the Facts in the Evolution Debate.

With more than 29,000 species, fishes are the most diverse group of vertebrates on the planet. Of that number, more than 12,000 species are found in freshwater ecosystems, which occupy less than 1 percent of the Earth’s surface and contain only 2.4 percent of plant and animal species. But, on a hectare-for-hectare basis, freshwater ecosystems are richer in species than more extensive terrestrial and marine habitats. Examination of the distribution patterns of fishes in these fresh waters reveals much about continental movements and climate changes and has long been critical to biogeographical studies and research in ecology and evolution.Tim Berra’s seminal resource, Freshwater Fish Distribution,maps the 169 fish families that swim in fresh water around the world. Each family account includes the class, subclass, and order; a pronunciation guide to the family name; life cycle information; and interesting natural history facts. Each account is illustrated, many with historical nineteenth-century woodcuts. Now available in paperback, this heavily cited work in ichthyology and biogeography will serve as a reference for students, a research support for professors, and a helpful guide to tropical fish hobbyists and anglers.
