  • 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

  • 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

  • Mechanical Integration of Plant Cells and Plants

    Edited by Przemyslaw Wojtaszek ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Chemical reactions and interactions between molecules are commonly considered the basis of life, and thus the biochemical nature of cells and organisms is relatively well recognized. Research conducted in recent years, however, increasingly indicates that physical forces profoundly affect the functioning of life at all levels of its organization. To detect and to respond to such forces, plant ... Read more

  • Stable Isotopes in Tree Rings

    Inferring Physiological, Climatic and Environmental Responses

    Edited by Rolf T. W. Siegwolf, J. Renée Brooks, John Roden, Matthias Saurer ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This Open Access volume highlights how tree ring stable isotopes have been used to address a range of environmental issues from paleoclimatology to forest management, and anthropogenic impacts on forest growth. It will further evaluate weaknesses and strengths of isotope applications in tree rings. In contrast to older tree ring studies, which predominantly applied a pure statistical approach this ...

  • How the Snake Lost its Legs

    Curious Tales from the Frontier of Evo-Devo

    by Lewis I. Held, Jr ...
    How did the zebra really get its stripes, and the giraffe its long neck? What is the science behind camel humps, leopard spots, and other animal oddities? Such questions have fascinated us for centuries, but the expanding field of evo-devo (evolutionary developmental biology) is now providing, for the first time, a wealth of insights and answers. Taking inspiration from Kipling's 'Just So Stories' ... Read more
