  • Hox Modules in Evolution and Development

    Edited by David E. K. Ferrier ...
    Series series Evolutionary Cell Biology
    Few, if any, genes have had the same level of impact on the field of evolutionary-developmental biology (evo-devo) as the Hox genes. These genes are renowned for their roles in patterning the body plans and development of the animal kingdom. This is complemented by the distinctive organisation of these genes in the genome, with them frequently being found as clusters in which gene position is ... Read more

  • Epigenetics

    Linking Genotype and Phenotype in Development and Evolution

    Edited by Benedikt Hallgrimsson Ph.D., Brian K. Hall Ph.D. ...
    Illuminating the processes and patterns that link genotype to phenotype, epigenetics seeks to explain features, characters, and developmental mechanisms that can only be understood in terms of interactions that arise above the level of the gene. With chapters written by leading authorities, this volume offers a broad integrative survey of epigenetics. Approaching this complex subject from a ... Read more

  • Epigenetic Principles of Evolution

    by Nelson R Cabej ...
    This is the first and only book, so far, to deal with the causal basis of evolution from an epigenetic view. By revealing the epigenetic "user" of the "genetic toolkit", this book demonstrates the primacy of epigenetic mechanisms and epigenetic information in generating evolutionary novelties. The author convincingly supports his theory with a host of examples from the most varied fields of ... Read more

  • Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases

    Edited by Michel Tibayrenc ...
    Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases is at the crossroads between two major scientific fields of the 21st century: evolutionary biology and infectious diseases. The genomic revolution has upset modern biology and has revolutionized our approach to ancient disciplines such as evolutionary studies. In particular, this revolution is profoundly changing our view on genetically driven human ... Read more

  • First in Fly

    Drosophila Research and Biological Discovery

    by Stephanie Elizabeth Mohr ...
    A single species of fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has been the subject of scientific research for more than one hundred years. Why does this tiny insect merit such intense scrutiny?Drosophila’s importance as a research organism began with its short life cycle, ability to reproduce in large numbers, and easy-to-see mutant phenotypes. Over time, laboratory investigation revealed surprising ... Read more

  • Quirks of Human Anatomy

    An Evo-Devo Look at the Human Body

    by Lewis I. Held, Jr ...
    With the emergence of the new field of evolutionary developmental biology we are witnessing a renaissance of Darwin's insights 150 years after his On the Origin of Species. Thus far, the exciting findings from 'evo-devo' have only been trickling into college courses and into the domain of non-specialists. With its focus on the human organism, Quirks of Human Anatomy opens the floodgates by stating ... Read more

  • Studies in Viral Ecology, Volume 1

    Microbial and Botanical Host Systems

    Edited by Christon J. Hurst ...
    This book explains the ecology of viruses by examining their interactive dynamics with their hosting species (in this volume, in microbes and plants), including the types of transmission cycles that viruses have evolved encompassing principal and alternate hosts, vehicles, and vectoring species. Examining virology from an organismal biology approach and focusing on the concept that viral ... Read more
