  • Psychological Mechanisms in Animal Communication

    Edited by Mark A. Bee, Cory T. Miller ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book analyzes the psychological mechanisms critical to animal communication. The topics covered range from single neurons to broad-scale phylogenetic patterns, shedding new light on the sensory, perceptual, and cognitive processes that underlie the communicative behaviors of signalers and receivers alike. In so doing, the contributing authors collectively integrate research questions and ... Read more

  • Divided Brains

    The Biology and Behaviour of Brain Asymmetries

    by Lesley J. Rogers, Giorgio Vallortigara, Richard J. Andrew ...
    Asymmetry of the brain and behaviour (lateralization) has traditionally been considered unique to humans. However, research has shown that this phenomenon is widespread throughout the vertebrate kingdom and found even in some invertebrate species. A similar basic plan of organisation exists across vertebrates. Summarising the evidence and highlighting research from the last twenty years, the ... Read more

  • Current Topics in Primate Vocal Communication

    Edited by U. Jürgens, J. Newman, E. Zimmermann ...
    More than 25 years ago, the first major review of primate communication appeared (Altmann, 1967). Since then, information on the communicative abilities of primates increased rapidly, resulting, 15 years later, in the appearance of the first volume in which signaling systems were analyzed in a broader variety of primate groups within an evolutionary perspective (Snowdon, Brown and Petersen, 1982). ...

  • Modelling Perception with Artificial Neural Networks

    Edited by Colin R. Tosh, Graeme D. Ruxton ...
    Studies of the evolution of animal signals and sensory behaviour have more recently shifted from considering 'extrinsic' (environmental) determinants to 'intrinsic' (physiological) ones. The drive behind this change has been the increasing availability of neural network models. With contributions from experts in the field, this book provides a complete survey of artificial neural networks. The ... Read more

  • Zic family

    Evolution, Development and Disease

    Edited by Jun Aruga ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book provides a comprehensive overview of ZIC-family research. Part1 summarizes the ZIC family in animal evolution and development and presents an overall picture of the ZIC family gene structure in eumetazoan animals, providing an evolutionary hypothesis and reviewing the studies on the role of ZIC family proteins in developmental processes for each animal model. Part 2 shows that the ZIC ... Read more

  • How Can Physics Underlie the Mind?

    Top-Down Causation in the Human Context

    by George Ellis ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Physics underlies all complexity, including our own existence: how is this possible? How can our own lives emerge from interactions of electrons, protons, and neutrons? This book considers the interaction of physical and non-physical causation in complex systems such as living beings, and in particular in the human brain, relating this to the emergence of higher levels of complexity with real ...

  • The Neural Crest and Neural Crest Cells in Vertebrate Development and Evolution

    by Brian K. Hall ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    A presentation of all aspects of neural crest cell origins (embryological and evolutionary) development and evolution; neural crest cell behavior (migration) and anomalies (neurocristopathies and birth defects) that arise from defective neural crest development. The treatment of development will include discussions of cellular, molecular and genetic aspects of the differentiation and morphogenesis ... Read more

  • Animal Vocal Communication

    Assessment and Management Roles

    by Eugene S. Morton ...
    How do animals communicate using sounds? How did animal vocal communication arise and evolve? Exploring a new way to conceptualize animal communication, this new edition moves beyond an earlier emphasis on the role of senders in managing receiver behaviour, to examine how receivers' responses influence signalling. It demonstrates the importance of the perceiver role in driving the evolution of ... Read more

  • Theory-Based Ecology

    A Darwinian approach

    by Gabriella Magyar, Liz Pásztor, Zoltán Botta-Dukát, Tamás Czárán, Géza Meszéna ...
    Ecology is in a challenging state as a scientific discipline. While some theoretical ecologists are attempting to build a definition of ecology from first principles, many others are questioning even the feasibility of a general and universal theory. At the same time, it is increasingly important that ecology is accurately and functionally defined for a generation of researchers tackling ... Read more

  • Dog Behaviour, Evolution, and Cognition

    by Adam Miklosi ...
    This is the first book to collate and synthesize the recent burgeoning primary research literature on dog behaviour, evolution, and cognition. The author presents a new ecological approach to the understanding of dog behaviour, demonstrating how dogs can be the subject of rigorous and productive scientific study without the need to confine them to a laboratory environment. This second, fully ... Read more
