  • Comparative and Evolutionary Genomics of Angiosperm Trees

    Edited by Andrew Groover, Quentin Cronk ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Marking the change in focus of tree genomics from single species to comparative approaches, this book covers biological, genomic, and evolutionary aspects of angiosperm trees that provide information and perspectives to support researchers broadening the focus of their research. The diversity of angiosperm trees in morphology, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry has been described and cataloged ... Read more

    Edited by Quentin C.B. Cronk, Richard M. Bateman, Julie A. Hawkins ...
    Series series Systematics Association Special Volumes
    A benchmark text, Developmental Genetics and Plant Evolution integrates the recent revolution in the molecular-developmental genetics of plants with mainstream evolutionary thought. It reflects the increasing cooperation between strongly genomics-influenced researchers, with their strong grasp of technology, and evolutionary morphogenetists and sys ... Read more

  • The Plausibility of Life

    Resolving Darwin's Dilemma

    by Marc W. Kirschner, John C. Gerhart ...
    Two biologists tackle the unresolved question in the field of evolution: how have living organisms on Earth developed with such variety and complexity?In the 150 years since Darwin, the field of evolutionary biology has left a glaring gap in understanding how animals developed their astounding variety and complexity. The standard answer has been that small genetic mutations accumulate over time to ... 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

  • Plant Sensing & Communication

    by Richard Karban ...
    The news that a flowering weed—mousear cress ( Arabidopsis thaliana)—can sense the particular chewing noise of its most common caterpillar predator and adjust its chemical defenses in response led to headlines announcing the discovery of the first "hearing" plant. As plants lack central nervous systems (and, indeed, ears), the mechanisms behind this "hearing" are unquestionably very different from ... Read more

  • Evolution Evolving

    The Developmental Origins of Adaptation and Biodiversity

    by Kevin N. Lala, Tobias Uller, Nathalie Feiner, Marcus W. Feldman, Scott F. Gilbert ...
    A new account of the central role developmental processes play in evolutionA new scientific view of evolution is emerging—one that challenges and expands our understanding of how evolution works. Recent research demonstrates that organisms differ greatly in how effective they are at evolving. Whether and how each organism adapts and diversifies depends critically on the mechanistic details of how ... 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

  • Understanding Evo-Devo

    by Wallace Arthur ...
    Series series Understanding Life
    Why do the best-known examples of evolutionary change involve the alteration of one kind of animal into another very similar one, like the evolution of a bigger beak in a bird? Wouldn't it be much more interesting to understand how beaks originated? Most people would agree, but until recently we didn't know much about such origins. That is now changing, with the growth of the interdisciplinary ... Read more

  • Phylogeny and Evolution of the Angiosperms

    by Douglas Soltis, Pamela Soltis, Peter Endress, Mark Chase, Steven Manchester, Walter Judd, Lucas Majure, Evgeny Mavrodiev ...
    Although they are relative latecomers on the evolutionary scene, having emerged only 135?170 million years ago, angiosperms—or flowering plants—are the most diverse and species-rich group of seed-producing land plants, comprising more than 15,000 genera and over 350,000 species. Not only are they a model group for studying the patterns and processes of evolutionary diversification, they also play ... Read more
