A154 Fish
Fish are cold-blooded animals that live in water. They
have a streamlined body design and are covered with scales
that reduce friction. Most are excellent swimmers. There are
over 27,000 species, making them the most diverse
vertebrates on Earth. This poster shows the three major
clades. The jawless fish, the cartilaginous fish, and the
bony fish. The latter dominates the poster, as all the
orders / clades are explored. |

Vertebrate Orders Set |
|
|
This is one of the four posters in our
vertebrate orders set. They provides a comprehensive
overview of the living vertebrates. Animal life is now
undergoing the transition from the Linnaeus classification
system to the new cladistic classification system. Birds
have been reclassified under the new system. There have been
many systems proposed for the other animals, but none has
been widely accepted. This required that the posters present
the animals in the context of their existing Linnaeus
orders. Each of these posters present all of the orders
within the group. There are so many marsupials and
cartilaginous fish that they are presented as super orders.
Each order is introduced by the common name or names (such as
whales, dolphins and porpoises), followed by the biological
name (Cetacea), the number of species, and a brief
description. A great many representational animals are
beautifully shown, all identified by both common and
biological names.
This is the first time that a comprehensive overview of this enormous and
complex subject has ever been presented on posters. This set
is invaluable for life science classes and anywhere else
that the study of animals takes place.
