  • My Thoughts on Biological Evolution

    by Motoo Kimura ...
    Translated by Yoshio Tateno, Kenichi Aoki ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book, written by Motoo Kimura (1924–94), is a classic in evolutionary biology. In 1968, Kimura proposed the “neutral theory of molecular evolution”, which became the theoretical basis of modern evolutionary studies. After publishing his work in 1983 in the book “Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution”, Kimura wrote this book in 1988 for the general public. It was originally written in Japanese ... Read more

  • Neandertals and Modern Humans in Western Asia

    Edited by Kenichi Aoki, Ofer Bar-Yosef, Takeru Akazawa ...
    In this fascinating volume, the Middle Paleolithic archaeology of the Middle East is brought to the current debate on the origins of modern humans. These collected papers gather the most up-to-date archaeological discoveries of Western Asia - a region that is often overshadowed by African or European findings - but the only region in the world where both Neandertal and early modern human fossils ...

  • Dynamics of Learning in Neanderthals and Modern Humans Volume 1

    Cultural Perspectives

    Edited by Takeru Akazawa, Yoshihiro Nishiaki, Kenichi Aoki ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    This volume presents the first of two proceedings from the International Conference on the Replacement of Neanderthals by Modern Humans, which took place in Tokyo in November 2012. Focussing on a highly innovative working hypothesis called the ‘learning hypothesis’, which attempts to explain the replacement as a result of differences in the learning abilities of these two hominid populations, the ...

  • Learning Strategies and Cultural Evolution during the Palaeolithic

    Edited by Kenichi Aoki, Alex Mesoudi ...
    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    This volume is motivated by the desire to explain why Neanderthals were replaced by modern humans, in terms of cultural differences between the two (sub-) species. It provides up-to-date coverage on the theory of cultural evolution as is being used by anthropologists, archaeologists, biologists and psychologists to decipher hominin cultural change and diversity during the Palaeolithic. The ... Read more

  • The Theory of Ecological Communities

    by Mark Vellend ...
    Series Book 57 - Monographs in Population Biology
    A plethora of different theories, models, and concepts make up the field of community ecology. Amid this vast body of work, is it possible to build one general theory of ecological communities? What other scientific areas might serve as a guiding framework? As it turns out, the core focus of community ecology—understanding patterns of diversity and composition of biological variants across space ... Read more

  • Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning

    Frameworks, methodologies, and integration

    Edited by Martin Solan, Rebecca J. Aspden, David M. Paterson ...
    The biological composition and richness of most of the Earth's major ecosystems are being dramatically and irreversibly transformed by anthropogenic activity. Yet, despite the vast areal extent of our oceans, the mainstay of research to-date in the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning arena has been weighted towards ecological observations and experimentation in terrestrial plant and soil systems. ...

  • Dispersal Ecology and Evolution

    Edited by Jean Clobert, Michel Baguette, Tim G. Benton, James M. Bullock ...
    Now that so many ecosystems face rapid and major environmental change, the ability of species to respond to these changes by dispersing or moving between different patches of habitat can be crucial to ensuring their survival. Understanding dispersal has become key to understanding how populations may persist. Dispersal Ecology and Evolution provides a timely and wide-ranging overview of the fast ... Read more

  • The Geographic Mosaic of Coevolution

    by John N. Thompson ...
    Series series Interspecific Interactions
    Coevolution—reciprocal evolutionary change in interacting species driven by natural selection—is one of the most important ecological and genetic processes organizing the earth's biodiversity: most plants and animals require coevolved interactions with other species to survive and reproduce. The Geographic Mosaic of Coevolution analyzes how the biology of species provides the raw material for long ... Read more

  • Community Ecology

    by Peter J. Morin ...
    All life on earth occurs in natural assemblages called communities. Community ecology is the study of patterns and processes involving these collections of two or more species. Communities are typically studied using a diversity of techniques, including observations of natural history, statistical descriptions of natural patterns, laboratory and field experiments, and mathematical modelling. ...

  • Bones, Stones and Molecules

    "Out of Africa" and Human Origins

    by David W. Cameron, Colin P. Groves ...
    Bones, Stones and Molecules provides some of the best evidence for resolving the debate between the two hypotheses of human origins. The debate between the 'Out of Africa' model and the 'Multiregional' hypothesis is examined through the functional and developmental processes associated with the evolution of the human skull and face and focuses on the significance of the Australian record. The book ... Read more

  • Assembly Rules and Restoration Ecology

    Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice

    Edited by Vicky M. Temperton, Richard J. Hobbs, Tim Nuttle, Stefan Halle ...
    Series series Science Practice Ecological Restoration
    Understanding how ecosystems are assembled -- how the species that make up a particular biological community arrive in an area, survive, and interact with other species -- is key to successfully restoring degraded ecosystems. Yet little attention has been paid to the idea of assembly rules in ecological restoration,in both the scientific literature and in on-the-ground restoration efforts.Assembly ... Read more
