  • Photographic and Descriptive Musculoskeletal Atlas of Bonobos

    With Notes on the Weight, Attachments, Variations, and Innervation of the Muscles and Comparisons with Common Chimpanzees and Humans

    by Rui Diogo, Brian Shearer, Josep M. Potau, Juan F. Pastor, Felix J. de Paz, Julia Arias-Martorell, Cassandra Turcotte, Ashley Hammond, Evie Vereecke, Marie Vanhoof, Sandra Nauwelaerts, Bernard Wood ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Chimpanzees, including bonobos and common chimpanzees, are our closest living relatives. However, surprisingly, the information about the soft tissues of bonobos is very scarce, making it difficult to discuss and understand human evolution. This book, which is the first photographic and descriptive musculoskeletal atlas of bonobos (Pan paniscus), adopts the same format as the photographic atlases ... Read more

  • The Evolution of Emotional Communication

    From Sounds in Nonhuman Mammals to Speech and Music in Man

    Edited by Sabine Schmidt, Elke Zimmermann, Eckart Altenmüller ...
    Series series Series in Affective Science
    Why do we think that we can understand animal voices - such as the aggressive barking of a pet dog, and the longing meows of the family cat? Why do we think of deep voices as dominant and high voices as submissive. Are there universal principles governing our own communication system? Can we even see how close animals are related to us by constructing an evolutionary tree based on similarities and ... Read more

  • Host Manipulation by Parasites

    by Richard Dawkins ...
    Parasites that manipulate the behaviour of their hosts represent striking examples of adaptation by natural selection. This field of study is now moving beyond its descriptive phase and into more exciting areas where the processes and patterns of such dramatic adaptations can be better understood. This innovative text provides an up-to-date, authoritative, and challenging review of host ... Read more

  • Behavioural Responses to a Changing World

    Mechanisms and Consequences

    Edited by 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 ... Read more

  • Evolutionary Biomechanics

    Selection, Phylogeny, and Constraint

    by 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 ... Read more

  • The Evolution of Parental Care

    by Mathias Kölliker ...
    Parental care includes a wide variety of traits that enhance offspring development and survival. It is taxonomically widespread and is central to the maintenance of biodiversity through its close association with other phenomena such as sexual selection, life-history evolution, sex allocation, sociality, cooperation and conflict, growth and development, genetic architecture, and phenotypic ...

    Ecology and the Evolution of Genes and Genomes

    Edited by Nadia Aubin-Horth, Christian R. Landry ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Researchers in the field of ecological genomics aim to determine how a genome or a population of genomes interacts with its environment across ecological and evolutionary timescales. Ecological genomics is trans-disciplinary by nature. Ecologists have turned to genomics to be able to elucidate the mechanistic bases of the biodiversity their research tries to understand. Genomicists have turned to ... Read more

  • Sexual Segregation in Vertebrates

    Edited by Kathreen Ruckstuhl, Peter Neuhaus ...
    Males and females often differ in developmental patterns, adult morphology, ecology and behaviour, and in many mammals males are often larger. Size dimorphism results in divergent nutritional and energetic requirements or reproductive strategies by the sexes, which in turn sometimes causes them to select different forage, use different habitats, and express differing social affinities. Such ... Read more
