  • Fossils, Phylogeny, and Form

    An Analytical Approach

    Edited by Jonathan M. Adrain, Gregory D. Edgecombe, Bruce S. Lieberman ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Phylogenetic analysis and morphometrics have been developed by biologists into rigorous analytic tools for testing hypotheses about the relationships between groups of species. This book applies these tools to paleontological data.The fossil record is our one true chronicle of the history of life, preserving a set of macroevolutionary patterns; thus various hypotheses about evolutionary processes ...

  • Book I. From the origin to the hominids

    by Roland Maes ...
    Series Book 1 - The Achievements and the days
    A Big Bang, i.e. a gigantic silent explosion occurred 13.5 billion years ago, with an unsustainable intensity of light and heat thrown in all directions. Light traveled during billions of years and cooled down, with the result that the Universe was getting cold, really cold. However, without cold, no galaxies, no stars and planets would form. A tiny planet formed 4.5 billion years ago, orbiting ... Read more

  • Evolution of the Insects

    by David Grimaldi, Michael S. Engel ...
    Series series Cambridge Evolution Series
    Insects are the most diverse group of organisms in the 3 billion-year history of life on Earth, and the most ecologically dominant animals on land. This book chronicles for the first time the complete evolutionary history of insects: their living diversity, relationships and 400 million years of fossils. Whereas other volumes have focused on either living species or fossils, this is the first ... Read more

  • Animal Evolution

    Genomes, Fossils, and Trees

    by NATURAL SCIENCES and MATHEMATICS (500), ZOOLOGICAL SCIENCES (590) ...
    Animal life, now and over the past half billion years, is incredibly diverse. Describing and understanding the evolution of this diversity of body plans - from vertebrates such as humans and fish to the numerous invertebrate groups including sponges, insects, molluscs, and the many groups of worms - is a major goal of evolutionary biology. In this book, a group of leading researchers adopt a ... Read more

    An Introductory Biology of Amphibians and Reptiles

    by Laurie J. Vitt, Janalee P. Caldwell ...
    This third edition, now fully revised and updated by two of Dr. Zug's colleagues, provides herpetology students and amateur reptile and amphibian keepers with the latest taxonomy and species developments from around the world. Herpetology is a rapidly evolving field, which has contributed to new discoveries in many conceptual areas of biology. The authors build on this progress by updating all ... Read more

  • Paleontology and Geology of Laetoli: Human Evolution in Context

    Volume 2: Fossil Hominins and the Associated Fauna

    Edited by Terry Harrison ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This volume 2 and its companion volume 1 present the results of new investigations into the geology, paleontology and paleoecology of the early hominin site of Laetoli in northern Tanzania. The site is one of the most important paleontological and paleoanthropological sites in Africa, worldrenowned for the discovery of fossils of the early hominin Australopithecus afarensis, as well as remarkable ...

  • Paleogene Fossil Birds

    by Gerald Mayr ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    In the present book the Paleogene fossil record of birds is detailed for the first time on a worldwide scale. I have developed the idea for such a project for several years, and think that it is an appropriate moment to present a summary of our c- rent knowledge of the early evolution of modern birds. Meanwhile not only is there a confusing diversity of fossil taxa, but also significant progress ... Read more

  • Avian Ancestors

    A Review of the Phylogenetic Relationships of the Theropods Unenlagiidae, Microraptoria, Anchiornis and Scansoriopterygidae

    by Federico Agnolin, Fernando E. Novas ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Although consensus exists among researchers that birds evolved from coelurosaurian theropods, paleontologists still debate the identification of the group of coelurosaurians that most closely approaches the common ancestor of birds. The last 20 years witnessed the discovery of a wide array of avian-like theropods that has considerably amplified the anatomical disparity among deinonychosaurians, ... Read more

  • Evolutionary Biology and Ecology of Ostracoda

    Theme 3 of the 13th International Symposium on Ostracoda (ISO97)

    Edited by Koen Martens, David J. Horne ...
    Series Book 148 - Developments in Hydrobiology
    Ostracoda (Crustacea) are potentially excellent model organisms for evolutionary studies, because they combine an extensive fossil record with a wide recent distribution and therefore allow studies on both patterns and processes leading to extant diversity. The main scientific domains contributing theories, concepts, and data to evolutionary biology are morphology (including ontogeny), ... Read more

  • Paleobiogeography

    by Bruce S. Lieberman ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Biogeography relates the evolution of the Earth's biota to major episodes in the Earth's history such as climatic changes and plate tectonic events. Furthermore, biogeographic patterns have played a prominent role in the development of the theory of evolution. Thus biogeography has the potential to make important contributions to the field of geobiology.Paleobiogeography emphasizes how analytical ... Read more

  • Early Evolutionary History of the Synapsida

    Edited by Christian F. Kammerer, Jörg Fröbisch, Kenneth D. Angielczyk ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Non-mammalian synapsids were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates from the Late Carboniferous to the Middle Triassic and play a key role in understanding the origin and evolution of mammals. Despite these facts and the outstanding fossil record of the group, early synapsids remain obscure. This book showcases the full breadth of contemporary research on non-mammalian synapsids, ranging from ... Read more
