Titre : Evolvability: a unifying concept in evolutionary biology? Type de document : livre Auteurs : Thomas F. Hansen, Éditeur scientifique ; David Houle, Éditeur scientifique ; Mihaela Pavlicev, Éditeur scientifique ; Christophe Pélabon, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Cambridge, Massachusetts : MIT Press Année de publication : 2023 Collection : Vienna series in theoretical biology Importance : 395 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-262-54562-4 Note générale : e-ISBN : 9780262374699; Content freely available online, CC-BY-NC-ND license; DOI:10.7551/mitpress/14126.001.0001 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Evolution Biology Genetics Philosophy Sciences Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Evolvability—the capability of organisms to evolve—wasn't recognized as a fundamental concept in evolutionary theory until 1990. Though there is still some debate as to whether it represents a truly new concept, the essays in this volume emphasize its value in enabling new research programs and facilitating communication among the major disciplines in evolutionary biology. The contributors, many of whom were instrumental in the development of the concept of evolvability, synthesize what we have learned about it over the past thirty years. They focus on the historical and philosophical contexts that influenced the emergence of the concept and suggest ways to develop a common language and theory to drive further evolvability research.
The essays, drawn from a workshop on evolvability hosted in 2019–2020 by the Center of Advanced Study at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, in Oslo, provide scientific and historical background on evolvability. The contributors represent different disciplines of evolutionary biology, including quantitative and population genetics, evolutionary developmental biology, systems biology, and macroevolution, as well as the philosophy of science. This plurality of approaches allows researchers in disciplines as diverse as developmental biology, molecular biology, and systems biology to communicate with those working in mainstream evolutionary biology. The contributors also discuss key questions at the forefront of research on evolvability.En ligne : https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/14126.001.0001 Evolvability: a unifying concept in evolutionary biology?

Titre : Evolution of communication systems: a comparative approach Type de document : livre Auteurs : Oller, D.K.(Ed.) ; Griebel, U.(Ed.) Editeur : Cambridge, Massachusetts : MIT Press Année de publication : 2004 Collection : Vienna series in theoretical biology Importance : 338 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-262-15111-5 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal communication Behaviour Evolution Human evolution Language Résumé : The search for origins of communication in a wide variety of species including humans is rapidly becoming a thoroughly interdisciplinary enterprise. In this volume, scientists engaged in the fields of evolutionary biology, linguistics, animal behavior, developmental psychology, philosophy, the cognitive sciences, robotics, and neural network modeling come together to explore a comparative approach to the evolution of communication systems. The comparisons range from parrot talk to squid skin displays, from human language to Aibo the robot dog's language learning, and from monkey babbling to the newborn human infant cry. The authors explore the mysterious circumstances surrounding the emergence of human language, which they propose to be intricately connected with drastic changes in human lifestyle. While it is not yet clear what the physical environmental circumstances were that fostered social changes in the hominid line, the volume offers converging evidence and theory from several lines of research suggesting that language depended upon the restructuring of ancient human social groups. The volume also offers new theoretical treatments of both primitive communication systems and human language, providing new perspectives on how to recognize both their similarities and their differences. Explorations of new technologies in robotics, neural network modeling and pattern recognition offer many opportunities to simulate and evaluate theoretical proposals.
