Pathogen-Host Interactions: Antigenic Variation v. Somatic Adaptations

Edited by Ellen Hsu, Louis Du Pasquier ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
This volume provides in-depth reviews of model systems that exemplify the arms race in host-pathogen interactions. Somatic adaptations are responsible for the individualization of biological responses to the environment, and the continual struggle between host immune systems and invading pathogens has given rise to corresponding processes that produce molecular variation. Whether in mollusks or ... Read more

Life’s Pulses: From Origins to Mammals

The Logarithmic Charting of Evolutionary Time, #1

by Michael A. Susko ...

Series Book 1 - The Logarithmic Charting of Evolutionary Time
Life's Pulses: From Origins to Mammals presents a new way of viewing the history of life. Rather than tracing evolution through a conventional linear timeline, the author applies a logarithmic framework in which major evolutionary innovations appear as a series of progressively halving intervals. Within this framework, evolutionary transitions are examined through "Major Nodes" and surrounding ... Read more
