Making sense of evolution: the conceptual foundations of evolutionary biology / Pigliucci, Massimo ; Kaplan, Jonathan (2006)  

Public ISBD Titre : Making sense of evolution: the conceptual foundations of evolutionary biology Type de document : livre Auteurs : Pigliucci, Massimo ; Kaplan, Jonathan Editeur : Chicago : The University of Chicago Press Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 300 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-226-66837-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Evolution (Biology)  Natural selection  Philosophy Résumé : Making Sense of Evolution explores contemporary evolutionary biology, focusing on the elements of theories-selection, adaptation, and species-that are complex and open to multiple possible interpretations, many of which are incompatible with one another and with other accepted practices in the discipline. Particular experimental methods, for example, may demand one understanding of "selection," while the application of the same concept to another area of evolutionary biology could necessitate a very different definition. Spotlighting these conceptual difficulties and presenting alternate theoretical interpretations that alleviate this incompatibility, Massimo Pigliucci and Jonathan Kaplan intertwine scientific and philosophical analysis to produce a coherent picture of evolutionary biology. Innovative and controversial, Making Sense of Evolution encourages further development of the Modern Synthesis and outlines what might be necessary for the continued refinement of this evolving field.

Phenotypic integration: studying the ecology and evolution of complex phenotypes / Pigliucci, Massimo (2004)  

Public ISBD Titre : Phenotypic integration: studying the ecology and evolution of complex phenotypes Type de document : livre Auteurs : Pigliucci, Massimo, Éditeur scientifique ; Katherine Preston, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2004 Importance : 443 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-516043-7 Note générale : 2 ex.?; ISBN-10 : 0-19-516043-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adaptation  Evolution  Genetics  Molecular biology  Phenotypes Résumé : A new voice in the nature-nurture debate can be heard at the interface between evolution and development. Phenotypic integration--or, how large numbers of characteristics are related to make up the whole organism, and how these relationships evolve and change their function--is a major growth area in research, attracting the attention of evolutionary biologists, developmental biologists, and geneticists, as well as, more broadly, ecologists, physiologists, and paleontologists. This edited collection presents much of the best and most recent work the topic.
