  • Evolution's Wedge

    Competition and the Origins of Diversity

    by David Pfennig, Karin Pfennig ...
    Series Book 12 - Organisms and Environments
    Evolutionary biology has long sought to explain how new traits and new species arise. Darwin maintained that competition is key to understanding this biodiversity and held that selection acting to minimize competition causes competitors to become increasingly different, thereby promoting new traits and new species. Despite Darwin’s emphasis, competition’s role in diversification remains ... Read more

  • Eco-Evo-Devo

    The Environmental Regulation of Development, Health, and Evolution

    by Scott F. Gilbert, David W. Pfennig ...
    Recent discoveries in fields ranging from molecular and cell biology to ecology and evolution have given rise to 'ecological and evolutionary developmental biology' (or simply, 'eco-evo-devo'), the new science aimed at clarifying how the interplay between genes and environment shapes how organisms develop, interact, and evolve. Eco-Evo-Devo: The Environmental Regulation of Development, Health, and ... Read more

  • Phenotypic Plasticity & Evolution

    Causes, Consequences, Controversies

    Edited by David W. Pfennig ...
    Series series Evolutionary Cell Biology
    Phenotypic plasticity – the ability of an individual organism to alter its features in direct response to a change in its environment – is ubiquitous. Understanding how and why this phenomenon exists is crucial because it unites all levels of biological inquiry. This book brings together researchers who approach plasticity from diverse perspectives to explore new ideas and recent findings about ... Read more

  • Relentless Evolution

    by John N. Thompson ...
    At a glance, most species seem adapted to the environment in which they live. Yet species relentlessly evolve, and populations within species evolve in different ways. Evolution, as it turns out, is much more dynamic than biologists realized just a few decades ago.In Relentless Evolution, John N. Thompson explores why adaptive evolution never ceases and why natural selection acts on species in so ... Read more

  • 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

  • Developmental Plasticity and Evolution

    by Mary Jane West-Eberhard ...
    The first comprehensive synthesis on development and evolution: it applies to all aspects of development, at all levels of organization and in all organisms, taking advantage of modern findings on behavior, genetics, endocrinology, molecular biology, evolutionary theory and phylogenetics to show the connections between developmental mechanisms and evolutionary change. This book solves key problems ... Read more

  • Epigenetic Principles of Evolution

    by Nelson R Cabej ...
    This is the first and only book, so far, to deal with the causal basis of evolution from an epigenetic view. By revealing the epigenetic "user" of the "genetic toolkit", this book demonstrates the primacy of epigenetic mechanisms and epigenetic information in generating evolutionary novelties. The author convincingly supports his theory with a host of examples from the most varied fields of ... Read more

  • Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics

    by Andrew P. Hendry ...
    In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter than the "long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is occurring all around us all the time. This book provides an authoritative and accessible introduction to eco-evolutionary dynamics, a cutting-edge new field that seeks to unify evolution and ecology into a common conceptual ...

  • Pheromones and Animal Behavior

    Chemical Signals and Signatures

    by Tristram D. Wyatt ...
    Pheromones and other kinds of chemical communication underlie the behavior of all animals. Building on the strengths of the first edition, widely recognized as the leading text in the subject, this is a comprehensive overview of how pheromones work. Extensively revised and expanded to cover advances made over the last ten years, the book offers a thorough exploration of the evolutionary and ... Read more

  • Ecological Speciation

    by Patrik Nosil ...
    Series series Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution
    The origin of biological diversity, via the formation of new species, can be inextricably linked to adaptation to the ecological environment. Specifically, ecological processes are central to the formation of new species when barriers to gene flow (reproductive isolation) evolve between populations as a result of ecologically-based divergent natural selection. This process of 'ecological ... Read more

  • Conservation Biology

    Evolution in Action

    Edited by Scott P. Carroll, Charles W. Fox ...
    The main goal of this book is to encourage and formalize the infusion of evolutionary thinking into mainstream conservation biology. It reviews the evolutionary foundations of conservation issues, and unifies conceptual and empirical advances in evolutionary conservation biology. The book can be used either as a primary textbook or as a supplementary reading in an advanced undergraduate or ... Read more
