Abstract:
This special volume of The Anatomical Record honors the life-long commitment to anatomy and paleontology by Professor Peter Dodson (Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania). Peter's legacy is not only rooted in his own research interests, but also in the wealth of former students he mentored over his career, many of whom have made their own new contributions to the fields of anatomy and paleontology through original scientific investigation. Within these 18 scientific papers, which cover multiple taxa, multiple continents, and multiple methodologies, each of the contributors brought to this volume their own unique work that can be traced back to some form of inspiration by the honoree.
