Titre : Phylogeny and evolution of the Angiosperms Type de document : livre Auteurs : Douglas E. Soltis, Auteur ; Pamela S. Soltis, Auteur ; Peter K. Endress, Auteur ; Mark W. Chase, Auteur ; Steven Manchester, Auteur ; Walter Judd, Auteur ; Lucas Majure, Auteur ; Evgeny Mavrodiev, Auteur Mention d'édition : Rev. and updated ed.

ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-226-38361-3 Note générale : ISBN-10 : 0-87893-817-6; Voir aussi la 1ère éd. de 2005 à la cote 67559/3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Angiosperms Evolution Phylogeny Fossils Classification Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : 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 major roles in our economy, diet, and courtship rituals, producing our fruits, legumes, and grains, not to mention the flowers in our Valentine’s bouquets. They are also crucial ecologically, dominating most terrestrial and some aquatic landscapes.

Titre : The structure of scientific revolutions Type de document : livre Auteurs : Kuhn, T.S., Auteur Mention d'édition : 4th ed. Editeur : Chicago : The University of Chicago Press Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 217 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-226-45812-0 Note générale : Voir aussi la 3ème édition de 1996 à la cote 68985/21; With an Introductory essay by Ian Hacking Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : History Philosophy Science Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were—and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book. When it was first published in 1962, it was a landmark event in the history and philosophy of science. Fifty years later, it still has many lessons to teach.
With The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Kuhn challenged long-standing linear notions of scientific progress, arguing that transformative ideas don’t arise from the day-to-day, gradual process of experimentation and data accumulation but that the revolutions in science, those breakthrough moments that disrupt accepted thinking and offer unanticipated ideas, occur outside of “normal science,” as he called it. Though Kuhn was writing when physics ruled the sciences, his ideas on how scientific revolutions bring order to the anomalies that amass over time in research experiments are still instructive in our biotech age.
This new edition of Kuhn’s essential work in the history of science includes an insightful introduction by Ian Hacking, which clarifies terms popularized by Kuhn, including paradigm and incommensurability, and applies Kuhn’s ideas to the science of today. Usefully keyed to the separate sections of the book, Hacking’s introduction provides important background information as well as a contemporary context. Newly designed, with an expanded index, this edition will be eagerly welcomed by the next generation of readers seeking to understand the history of our perspectives on science.En ligne : https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/S/bo13179781.html The structure of scientific revolutions [livre] / Kuhn, T.S., Auteur . - 4th ed. . - Chicago : The University of Chicago Press, 2012 . - 217 p.

Titre : Foraging: behavior and ecology Type de document : livre Auteurs : Stephens, D.W.(Ed.) ; Brown, J.S.(Ed.) ; Ydenberg, R.C.(Ed.) Editeur : Chicago : The University of Chicago Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 608 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-226-77264-6 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal behaviour Ethology Feeding habits Foraging Résumé : Foraging is fundamental to animal survival and reproduction, yet it is much more than a simple matter of finding food; it is a biological imperative. Animals must find and consume resources to succeed, and they make extraordinary efforts to do so. For instance, pythons rarely eat, but when they do, their meals are large—as much as 60 percent larger than their own bodies. The snake's digestive system is normally dormant, but during digestion metabolic rates can increase fortyfold. A python digesting quietly on the forest floor has the metabolic rate of thoroughbred in a dead heat. This and related foraging processes have broad applications in ecology, cognitive science, anthropology, and conservation biology—and they can be further extrapolated in economics, neurobiology, and computer science. Foraging is the first comprehensive review of the topic in more than twenty years. A monumental undertaking, this volume brings together twenty-two experts from throughout the field to offer the latest on the mechanics of foraging, modern foraging theory, and foraging ecology. The fourteen essays cover all the relevant issues, including cognition, individual behavior, caching behavior, parental behavior, antipredator behavior, social behavior, population and community ecology, herbivory, and conservation. Considering a wide range of taxa, from birds to mammals to amphibians, Foraging will be the definitive guide to the field.
