Titre : Adaptation and natural selection: a critique of some current evolutionary thought Type de document : livre Auteurs : Georges C. Williams Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 1996 Collection : Princeton science library Importance : 307 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-02615-2 Note générale : Cop. 1966 by PUP; First printing for the Princeton science library, with new preface, 1996; Voir aussi 1ère édition de 1966 à la cote 43893/9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adaptation Evolution Morphology Natural selection Reproduction Résumé : Biological evolution is a fact--but the many conflicting theories of evolution remain controversial even today. In 1966, simple Darwinism, which holds that evolution functions primarily at the level of the individual organism, was threatened by opposing concepts such as group selection, a popular idea stating that evolution acts to select entire species rather than individuals. George Williams's famous argument in favor of the Darwinists struck a powerful blow to those in opposing camps. His Adaptation and Natural Selection, now a classic of science literature, is a thorough and convincing essay in defense of Darwinism; its suggestions for developing effective principles for dealing with the evolution debate and its relevance to many fields outside biology ensure the timelessness of this critical work.

Titre : L'origine des espèces : au moyen de la sélection naturelle ou la préservation des races favorisées dans la lutte pour la vie Type de document : livre Auteurs : Charles Darwin ; Becquemond, D.(Ed.) Editeur : Paris : Flammarion Année de publication : 1992 Collection : GF, 685 Importance : 604 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-2-08-070685-0 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 20/05/2008 Langues : Français (fre) Mots-clés : Biodiversity Evolution Natural selection Species Résumé : La publication en 1859 de l'Origine des espèces a marqué une révolution intellectuelle, comparable à celle qui est associée au nom de Copernic et de Galilée. En proposant une "théorie de la descendance avec modification" et de la "sélection naturelle", Darwin apportait des réponses aux questions qui préoccupaient les naturalistes de son époque. Le caractère radical de ses réponses aussi bien que les problèmes qu'elles laissaient en suspens, ont alimenté d'emblée polémiques et controverses. De là ces ajouts et ces digressions qui, au fil de six éditions successives, en vinrent à obscurcir le propos initial. En élaguant la traduction d'Edmond Barbier de ce qui ne figurait pas dans l'édition de 1859 et en y rétablissant ce qui en avait disparu, le présent volume devrait permettre au lecteur francophone de retrouver cette Å“uvre dans sa fraicheur initiale.

Titre : Selection: the mechanism of evolution Type de document : livre Auteurs : Bell, Graham Mention d'édition : 2nd ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2008 Collection : Oxford biology, NY Importance : 553 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-856972-5 Note générale : First edition Cop. Chapman Hall 1997 reprinted 2008; Oxford biology Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Evolution (Biology) Natural selection Résumé : This book adopts an experimental approach to understanding the mechanisms of evolution and the nature of evolutionary processes, with examples drawn from microbial, plant and animal systems. It incorporates insights from remarkable recent advances in theoretical modeling, and the fields of molecular genetics and environmental genomics. Adaptation is caused by selection continually winnowing the genetic variation created by mutation. In the last decade, our knowledge of how selection operates on populations in the field and in the laboratory has increased enormously, and the principal aim of this book is to provide an up-to-date account of selection as the principal agent of evolution. In the classical Fisherian model, weak selection acting on many genes of small effect over long periods of time is responsible for driving slow and gradual change. However, it is now clear that adaptation in laboratory populations often involves strong selection acting on a few genes of large effect, while in the wild selection is often strong and highly variable in space and time. Indeed these results are changing our perception of how evolutionary change takes place. This book summarizes our current understanding of the causes and consequences of selection, with an emphasis on quantitative and experimental studies. It includes the latest research into experimental evolution, natural selection in the wild, artificial selection, selfish genetic elements, selection in social contexts, sexual selection, and speciation. Selection: The Mechanism of Evolution is an advanced textbook suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in evolutionary biology, ecology, population genetics, and experimental evolution. It will also be a valuable reference tool for those professional researchers in these fields requiring an authoritative and up-to-date overview of the topic, as well as providing an accessible treatment of evolutionary mechanisms for molecular and cellular biologists.

Titre : Levels of selection in evolution Type de document : livre Auteurs : Keller, L.(Ed.) Editeur : Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 1999 Collection : Monographs in behavior and ecology Importance : 318 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-00704-5 Note générale : 2 ex. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Evolution Natural selection Résumé : Ever since the groundbreaking work of George Williams, W. D. Hamilton, and Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologists have recognized that natural selection generally does not operate for the good of the group, but rather for the good of lower-level units such as the individual, the cell, even the gene. One of the fundamental problems of biology is: what keeps competition between these various levels of natural selection from destroying the common interests to be gained from cooperation? In this volume twelve prominent scientists explore this question, presenting a comprehensive survey of the current theoretical and empirical research in evolutionary biology. Recent studies show that at many levels of biological organization, mechanisms have evolved to prevent potential conflict in natural selection. Editor Laurent Keller's aim in this book is to bring together leading researchers from all biological disciplines to outline these potential conflicts and discuss how they are resolved. A multi-level approach of this kind allows important insights into the evolution of life, as well as bridging the long-standing conceptual chasm between molecular and organismal biologists. The chapters here follow a rigorous theoretical framework, giving the book an overall synergy that is unique to multi-authored books.
