The comparative method in evolutionary biology / Paul H. Harvey (1991)  

Public ISBD Titre : The comparative method in evolutionary biology Type de document : livre Auteurs : Paul H. Harvey, Auteur ; Mark D. Pagel, Auteur Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 1991 Collection : Oxford series in ecology and evolution, NY num. 1 Importance : 239 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-854640-5 Note générale : First publ. 1991, reprinted 1995, 1997, 2000, 2004; ISBN-10 : 0-19-854640-8 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Comparative method  Evolution  Evolutionary biology Résumé : L'éditeur indique : From Darwin onward, it has been second nature for evolutionary biologists to think comparatively, because comparisons establish the generality of evolutionary phenomena. Do large genomes slow down development? What lifestyles select for large brains? Are extinction rates related to body size? These are all questions for the comparative method, and this book is about how such questions can be answered. It examines how the comparative method complements other approaches, identifies the biological causes of similarity among species, and discusses methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees, along with many other topics. The book will interest all students, professionals, and researchers in evolutionary biology, ecology, genetics and related fields.

Evolutionary dynamics / Nowak, M.A. (2006)

Public ISBD Titre : Evolutionary dynamics Type de document : livre Auteurs : Nowak, M.A. Editeur : Cambridge : The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 363 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-674-02338-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Evolution  Evolutionary biology Résumé : At a time of unprecedented expansion in the life sciences, evolution is the one theory that transcends all of biology. Any observation of a living system must ultimately be interpreted in the context of its evolution. Evolutionary change is the consequence of mutation and natural selection, which are two concepts that can be described by mathematical equations.Evolutionary Dynamics is concerned with these equations of life. In this book, Martin Nowak draws on the languages of biology and mathematics to outline the mathematical principles according to which life evolves. His work introduces readers to the powerful yet simple laws that govern the evolution of living systems, no matter how complicated they might seem. Evolution has become a mathematical theory, Nowak suggests, and any idea of an evolutionary process or mechanism should be studied in the context of the mathematical equations of evolutionary dynamics. His book presents a range of analytical tools that can be used to this end: fitness landscapes, mutation matrices, genomic sequence space, random drift, quasispecies, replicators, the Prisoner's Dilemma, games in finite and infinite populations, evolutionary graph theory, games on grids, evolutionary kaleidoscopes, fractals, and spatial chaos. Nowak then shows how evolutionary dynamics applies to critical real-world problems, including the progression of viral diseases such as AIDS, the virulence of infectious agents, the unpredictable mutations that lead to cancer, the evolution of altruism, and even the evolution of human language. His book makes a clear and compelling case for understanding every living system--and everything that arises as a consequence of living systems--in terms of evolutionary dynamics.

Sex, size, and gender roles: evolutionary studies of sexual size dimorphism / Fairbairn, D.J.(Ed.) ; Blanckenhorn, W.U.(Ed.) ; Székely, T.(Ed.) (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : Sex, size, and gender roles: evolutionary studies of sexual size dimorphism Type de document : livre Auteurs : Fairbairn, D.J.(Ed.) ; Blanckenhorn, W.U.(Ed.) ; Székely, T.(Ed.) Mention d'édition : 01 éd. Editeur : Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 266 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-920878-4 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Evolutionary biology  Gender analysis  Sexual dimorphism Résumé : Sex, Size, and Gender Roles is the first book to investigate the genetic, developmental, and physiological basis of sexual size dimorphism found within and among the major taxonomic groups of animals. Carefully edited by a team of world-renowned specialists in the field to ensure a coherence of style and approach between chapters, it presents a compendium of studies into the evolution, adaptive significance, and developmental basis of gender differences in body size and morphology. Adaptive hypotheses allude to gender-specific reproductive roles and associated differences in trophic ecologies, life history strategies, and sexual selection. This nulladaptationistnull approach is balanced by more mechanistic studies of the genetic, developmental and physiological basis of sexual size dimorphism to provide a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the subject. Throughout the volume the emphasis is on sexual dimorphism in overall size; however, the scope of enquiry encompasses gender differences in body shape, the size and structure of secondary sexual characteristics, patterns of growth (ontogeny), and patterns of gene regulation.
