Domestication of plants in the Old World: the origin and spread of domesticated plants in south-west Asia, Europe, and the Mediterranean Basin / Daniel Zohary (2013)  

Public ISBD Titre : Domestication of plants in the Old World: the origin and spread of domesticated plants in south-west Asia, Europe, and the Mediterranean Basin Type de document : livre Auteurs : Daniel Zohary, Auteur ; Maria Hopf, Auteur ; Ehud Weiss, Auteur Mention d'édition : 4th ed. Editeur : Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 243 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-954906-1 Note générale : Cop. 2012, Reprinted 2013; DOI:10.1093/acprof:osobl/9780199549061.001.0001; Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Plant domestication  Crops  History  Asia  Europe  Mediterranean region Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : The origin of agriculture is one of the defining events of human history. Some 11,000-10,000 years ago bands of hunter-gatherers started to abandon their high-mobility lifestyles in favour of growing crops, and the creation of settled, sedentary communities. This shift into an agricultural lifestyle triggered the evolution of complex political and economic structures, and technological developments, and ultimately underpinned the rise of all the great civilisations of recent human history. This book reviews and synthesises the information on the origins and domestication of cultivated plants in the Old World, and subsequently the spread of cultivation from southwest Asia into Asia, Europe, and North Africa, from the very earliest beginnings. This book is mainly based on detailed consideration of two lines of evidence: the plant remains found at archaeological sites, and the knowledge that has accumulated about the present-day wild relatives of domesticated plants. This new edition revises and updates previous data and incorporates the most recent findings from molecular biology about the genetic relations between domesticated plants and their wild ancestors, and incorporates extensive new archaeological data about the spread of agriculture within the region. The reference list has been completely updated, as have the list of archaeological sites and the site maps.

This volume starts with an account of the history and distribution of the conifers. In six chapters the most important areas in Asia, Europe, North and South America with conifers forest are described covering boreal, temperate, tropical as well as mountainous regions. The descriptions are made out from a biome and an ecosystem perspective. Also detailed accounts on tree species other vegetation is also briefly described. Climatic and soil conditions are dealt with as well as disturbances. Interesting notes on vegetation classification is also to be found, among others from Russia. The functional aspects of the conifer forests in terms of physiology, production, biomass, water and elemental cycling are dealt with in four chapters. Applied aspects as their economic value, management and importance for tourism are also presented.

Evolutionary biology of the genus Phoenicurus: phylogeography, natural hybridisation, and population dynamics / Ertan, K.T. (2002)  

Public ISBD Titre : Evolutionary biology of the genus Phoenicurus: phylogeography, natural hybridisation, and population dynamics Type de document : livre Auteurs : Ertan, K.T. Editeur : Marburg : Tectum Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 276 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-8288-8335-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Zones géographiques:Europe Mots-clés : Asia  Hybridization  Passerine bird  Phylogeny  Phylogeography Résumé : Evolutionary Biology is one, if not the most, important and fascinating discipline in nature, explaining many biological phenomena. Since Darwin there have been many debates about the driving evolutionary forces and their mechanisms. Especially today, where many habitats are changing through climatic effects or human activity, microevolutionary aspects like natural hybridisation are in the focus of scientific research. Like horizontal gene-transfer in micro-organisms, hybridisation enables complex life forms to get access to the genepool of other organisms and as a result meet faster environmental challenges. The former opinion that natural hybridisation is a rare and unimportant side-effect in nature has changed during the past decades and several studies have shown that many hybrids are fertile and able to compete with their parent species, especially under changing environmental conditions. As an example, this book presents a study about 14 members of the bird genera Phoenicurus (Redstarts), Rhyacornis (Water-Redstarts) and Chaimarrornis, which are found in Europe and Asia with concentrations in the Caucasus and the Himalayas, where up to 6 live sympatrically. A combination of field studies (with expeditions to Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe), classical methods (comparing morphology, behaviour etc.), breeding experiments (hybridisation and backcrossing) and biochemical tools (gene-sequencing and microsatellite-analysis) enabled to detect natural Hybridisation in populations in East Turkey and Central Asia and to show the effect and consequences of cross-specific geneflow.
