  • The Evolution of the Primate Hand

    Anatomical, Developmental, Functional, and Paleontological Evidence

    Edición de Tracy L. Kivell, Brian G. Richmond, Daniel Schmitt, Pierre Lemelin ...
    Series series Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects
    This book demonstrates how the primate hand combines both primitive and novel morphology, both general function with specialization, and both a remarkable degree of diversity within some clades and yet general similarity across many others. Across the chapters, different authors have addressed a variety of specific questions and provided their perspectives, but all explore the main themes ... Leer más

  • Improbable Destinies

    Fate, Chance, and the Future of Evolution

    de Jonathan B. Losos ...
    A major new book overturning our assumptions about how evolution worksEarth’s natural history is full of fascinating instances of convergence: phenomena like eyes and wings and tree-climbing lizards that have evolved independently, multiple times. But evolutionary biologists also point out many examples of contingency, cases where the tiniest change—a random mutation or an ancient butterfly sneeze ... Leer más

  • Behavioural Responses to a Changing World

    Mechanisms and Consequences

    Edición de Ulrika Candolin, Bob B.M. Wong ...
    Human-induced environmental change currently represents the single greatest threat to global biodiversity. Species are typically adapted to the local environmental conditions in which they have evolved. Changes in environmental conditions initially influence behaviour, which in turn affects species interactions, population dynamics, evolutionary processes and, ultimately, biodiversity. How animals ... Leer más

  • Evolutionary Biomechanics

    Selection, Phylogeny, and Constraint

    de Graham Taylor, Adrian Thomas ...
    Series series Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution
    Evolutionary biomechanics is the study of evolution through the analysis of biomechanical systems. Its unique advantage is the precision with which physical constraints and performance can be predicted from first principles. Instead of reviewing the entire breadth of the biomechanical literature, a few key examples are explored in depth as vehicles for discussing fundamental concepts, analytical ... Leer más

  • The Long Evolution of Brains and Minds

    de Gerhard Roth ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The main topic of the book is a reconstruction of the evolution of nervous systems and brains as well as of mental-cognitive abilities, in short “intelligence” from simplest organisms to humans. It investigates to which extent the two are correlated. One central topic is the alleged uniqueness of the human brain and human intelligence and mind. It is discussed which neural features make certain ... Leer más

  • Parasite Diversity and Diversification

    Evolutionary Ecology Meets Phylogenetics

    Edición de Serge Morand, Boris R. Krasnov, D. Timothy J. Littlewood ...
    The development of molecular tools has dramatically increased our knowledge of parasite diversity and the vectors that transmit them. From viruses and protists to arthropods and helminths, each branch of the Tree of Life offers an insight into significant, yet cryptic, biodiversity. Alongside this, the studies of host-parasite interactions and parasitism have influenced many scientific disciplines ... Leer más
