  • Animal Athletes

    An Ecological and Evolutionary Approach

    de Duncan J. Irschick, Timothy E. Higham ...
    Animals perform many athletic tasks to an amazing degree of accomplishment: not only spectacular feats of running and jumping but also routine actions that ensure survival such as feeding, vocalization, diving, flying, and many more. The study of performance capacity (defined as the ability of an animal to conduct a key task) is of great interest to both ecologists and evolutionary biologists. At ... Leer más

  • Randomness in Evolution

    de John Tyler Bonner ...
    The important role that randomness plays in evolutionary changeJohn Tyler Bonner, one of our most distinguished and insightful biologists, here challenges a central tenet of evolutionary biology. In this concise, elegantly written book, he makes the bold and provocative claim that some biological diversity may be explained by something other than natural selection.With his customary wit and ...

  • Evolution of the Insects

    de 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 ... Leer más

  • Dispersing Primate Females

    Life History and Social Strategies in Male-Philopatric Species

    Edición de Takeshi Furuichi, Juichi Yamagiwa, Filippo Aureli ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Why do females in male-philopatric species seem to show larger variation in their life history strategies than males in female-philopatric species? Why did females in human societies come to show enormous variation in the patterns of marriage, residence and mating activities?To tackle these important questions, this book presents the latest knowledge about the dispersing females in male ...

  • 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

  • How the Snake Lost its Legs

    Curious Tales from the Frontier of Evo-Devo

    de 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' ... Leer más

  • Reconstructing Mobility

    Environmental, Behavioral, and Morphological Determinants

    Edición de Kristian J. Carlson, Damiano Marchi ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Assembles a collection of experts to provide a current account of different approaches (e.g., traditional, comparative and experimental) being applied to study mobility. Moreover, the book aims to stimulate new theoretical perspectives that adopt a holistic view of the interaction among intrinsic (i.e. skeletal) and extrinsic (i.e. environmental) factors that influence differential expression of ...

  • Evolution in the Dark

    Darwin's Loss Without Selection

    de Horst Wilkens, Ulrike Strecker ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book provides fascinating insights into the development and genetics of evolutionary processes on the basis of animals living in the dark, such as the Astyanax cave fish.Biologically functionless traits show high variability, which results from neutral deleterious mutations no longer being eliminated by natural selection, which normally acts to preserve functional capability. These negative ... Leer más

  • The Parasite-Stress Theory of Values and Sociality

    Infectious Disease, History and Human Values Worldwide

    de Randy Thornhill, Corey L. Fincher ...
    This book develops and tests an ecological and evolutionary theory of the causes of human values—the core beliefs that guide people’s cognition and behavior—and their variation across time and space around the world. We call this theory the parasite-stress theory of values or the parasite-stress theory of sociality. The evidence we present in our book indicates that both a wide span of human ... Leer más
