Titre : The largest avian radiation: the evolution of perching birds, or the order Passeriformes Type de document : livre Auteurs : Jon Fjeldsa, Éditeur scientifique ; Les Christidis ; Per G. P. Ericson, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Barcelona : Lynx Edicions Année de publication : 2020 Importance : 445 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-84-16728-33-6 Prix : 85.00 EUR Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Passeriformes Classification Geographical distribution Evolution Phylogenetics Résumé : L'éditeur indique : "This book reveals the remarkable new history of how passerines diversified and dispersed across the entire world. It also presents and explains the new classification, which reflects the phylogenetic history. The new insights reveal that many of the old evolutionary lineages comprise only a few species that remained in their area of origin or underwent limited dispersal. Only a small number of groups underwent significant proliferation of new species and just five (of 145) passerine families are represented on all continents but Antarctica. Even so, the global variation in species richness generally correlates well with the variation in productivity across different environments. We see how a seemingly constant overall rate of evolution of new species is possible because of rapid proliferation in new ecological niches, including archipelagos, and an extraordinary accumulation of endemic species in certain tropical mountain ranges.
In addition to describing the revised evolutionary history of passerine birds, the authors try to identify adaptational changes, including shifts in life history strategies, that underlie major evolutionary expansions. Their aim is to further the development of a unified theory to explain how the prodigious variation of Earth’s biodiversity is generated."En ligne : https://www.lynxeds.com/product/the-largest-avian-radiation/ The largest avian radiation: the evolution of perching birds, or the order Passeriformes [livre] / Jon Fjeldsa, Éditeur scientifique ; Les Christidis ; Per G.

Because of this, we polled our readers and the overwhelming positive response was to produce two volumes treating Rodents. Volume 6 will include all of the families of rodents other than Cricetidae and Muridae, plus the order Lagomorpha, which includes rabbits and pikas. This radiation includes some 35 families, which have spread around the globe, occupying every continent except Antarctica, and countless islands in all major oceans. As usual, the text includes up-to-date information on every species, and each species is illustrated. Each family account includes color photographs documenting a variety of behaviors of these diverse and interesting mammals. This volume also includes a Special Chapter: An overview of rodents, including chapters on morphology, taxonomy, and evolutionary history; why rodents are studied; and tools for studying them.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-84-96553-99-6 Prix : 160.00 EUR Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Marsupial Mammals Geographical distribution Identification Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Platypus, Echidnas, Opossums, Kangaroos, Koalas, Wallabies, and Wombats – Monotremes and marsupials include a host of animals that have intrigued mammal fanciers for centuries.
