  • Evolution's Bite

    A Story of Teeth, Diet, and Human Origins

    by Peter Ungar ...
    What teeth can teach us about the evolution of the human speciesWhether we realize it or not, we carry in our mouths the legacy of our evolution. Our teeth are like living fossils that can be studied and compared to those of our ancestors to teach us how we became human. In Evolution's Bite, noted paleoanthropologist Peter Ungar brings together for the first time cutting-edge advances in ... 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

  • Evolution of the House Mouse

    Edited by Miloš Macholán, Stuart J. E. Baird, Jaroslav Piálek, Pavel Munclinger ...
    Series Book 3 - Cambridge Studies in Morphology and Molecules: New Paradigms in Evolutionary Bio
    The house mouse is the source of almost all genetic variation in laboratory mice; its genome was sequenced alongside that of humans, and it has become the model for mammalian speciation. Featuring contributions from leaders in the field, this volume provides the evolutionary context necessary to interpret these patterns and processes in the age of genomics. The topics reviewed include mouse ... Read more

  • Parasite Diversity and Diversification

    Evolutionary Ecology Meets Phylogenetics

    Edited by 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 ... Read more

  • How the Snake Lost its Legs

    Curious Tales from the Frontier of Evo-Devo

    by 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' ... Read more

  • Evolution Driven by Organismal Behavior

    A Unifying View of Life, Function, Form, Mismatches and Trends

    by Rui Diogo ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book proposes a new way to think about evolution. The author carefully brings together evidence from diverse fields of science. In the process, he bridges the gaps between many different--and usually seen as conflicting--ideas to present one integrative theory named ONCE, which stands for Organic Nonoptimal Constrained Evolution. The author argues that evolution is mainly driven by the ... Read more

  • Cilia and Nervous System Development and Function

    Edited by Kerry L. Tucker, Tamara Caspary ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Cilia are tiny microtubule-based organelles projecting from the plasma membrane of practically all cells in the body. In the past 10 years a flurry of research has indicated a crucial role of this long-neglected organelle in the development and function of the central nervous system. A common theme of these studies is the critical dependency of signal transduction of the Sonic hedgehog, and more ... Read more

  • Primate Locomotion

    Linking Field and Laboratory Research

    Edited by Kristiaan D'Août, Evie E. Vereecke ...
    Series series Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects
    Primate locomotion has typically been studied from two points of view. Laboratory-based researchers have focused on aspects like biomechanics and energetics, whereas field-based researchers have focused on (locomotor) behaviour and ecology. Unfortunately, to date, there is relatively little scientific exchange between both groups. With a book, which will be the result of a symposium on the 2008 ... Read more
