  • Entropy Principle for the Development of Complex Biotic Systems

    Organisms, Ecosystems, the Earth

    by Ichiro Aoki ...
    The concept of entropy in thermodynamics is a complex one, though it is fundamental in understanding physics, the workings of the mind, and biology. Entropy is the measure of the quality of energy, and it can also refer to the turn from order to disorder or randomness in isolated systems. In open systems, such as biology, entropy is formulated in terms of production and energy flow. This book ... Read more

  • Antarctic Ecosystems

    An Extreme Environment in a Changing World

    Edited by Alex D. Rogers, Nadine M. Johnston, Eugene J. Murphy, Andrew Clarke ...
    Since its discovery Antarctica has held a deep fascination for biologists. Extreme environmental conditions, seasonality and isolation have lead to some of the most striking examples of natural selection and adaptation on Earth. Paradoxically, some of these adaptations may pose constraints on the ability of the Antarctic biota to respond to climate change. Parts of Antarctica are showing some of ... Read more
