Ecological developmental biology: the environmental regulation of development, health, and evolution / Scott F. Gilbert (2015)  

Public ISBD Titre : Ecological developmental biology: the environmental regulation of development, health, and evolution Type de document : livre Auteurs : Scott F. Gilbert, Auteur ; David Epel, Auteur Mention d'édition : 2nd ed. Editeur : Sunderland, Massachusetts : Sinauer Associates Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 576 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-60535-344-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Phenotypic plasticity  Biological development  Heredity  Evolution  Ecology  Environmental factors  Health Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : The only book that, in one place: - details the three main epigenetic sources of phenotype: symbionts, altered chromatin structure, and plasticity. - discusses the various ways that development can be disrupted: teratogens, endocrine disruptors, global climate change, and mismatches between diet and environment. - documents the evidence for an extended evolutionary synthesis involving the modern synthesis, evo-devo, and eco-evo-devo. The revolution in molecular technologies has created a revolution in our perception of the living world. It is life, but not as we knew it. * Symbiosis, once thought the exception to the rules of life, is now recognized as a signature of life, including its development and evolution. We function, develop, and possibly evolve as consortia. * Developmental plasticity has transformed our ways of relating the genome to both the organism and its environment, showing that the environment can instruct, as well as select, phenotypes. * Environmentally induced modifications of the genome (epialleles) can be created by ecological agents and inherited for many generations, showing the ability of environmental agents to generate selectable variation. * Disease susceptibilities--especially to diseases such as cancer, diabetes, asthma, autism, and obesity--may be inherited through epialleles caused by environmental agents, by mismatches in developmental plasticity, or by particular combinations of symbionts. * Global climate change and endocrine disruptors are affecting how organisms develop and how they behave. The science studying this new world, uncovering the relationships between genes, developing organisms, and their environments, is called ecological developmental biology. This book presents the data for ecological developmental biology, integrating it into new accounts of medicine, evolution, and embryology. The new evolutionary science created by this approach to nature is called ecological evolutionary developmental biology (eco-evo-devo). The book documents the evidence for a new, extended, evolutionary synthesis, a synthesis that: confounds the creationist belief that evolution can't be described above the species-level; integrates aging and "Western" diseases such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, cancer, and obesity into an evolutionary context; and sees interspecies interactions both within the organism and between organisms as being critical for evolution, development, and fitness.

The flexible phenotype: a body-centred integration of ecology, physiology, and behaviour / Theunis Piersma (2011)  

Public ISBD Titre : The flexible phenotype: a body-centred integration of ecology, physiology, and behaviour Type de document : livre Auteurs : Theunis Piersma, Auteur ; Jan A. van Gils, Auteur ; Rudi Drent, Dédicataire Mention d'édition : 1st ed., reprint. 2011 Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2011 Collection : Oxford biology, NY Importance : 238 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-959724-6 Note générale : First publ. 2011, reprinted 2011 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal ecology  Genomics  Phenotype  Phenotypic plasticity Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : The Flexible Phenotype attempts a true synthesis of physiology, behaviour, and ecology by developing an empirical argument that describes the intimate connections between phenotypes and their environments. It portrays an ecological angle to the rapidly growing extended synthesis in evolutionary biology that incorporates developmental processes, self-organization, and the multiple dimensions of inheritance. The book starts with a synthesis of the principles guiding current research in ecophysiology, functional morphology, and behavioural ecology. Each aspect is illustrated with the detailed results of empirical work on as wide a range of organisms as possible. The integrated story of the flexible phenotype is woven throughout the book on the basis of the authors' long-term research on migrant shorebirds and their invertebrate prey. These birds travel vast distances from one environment to another, and the changing nature of their bodies reflects the varied selection pressures experienced in the course of their globe-spanning migrations. In essence, the authors argue for the existence of direct, measurable, links between phenotype and ecology, mediated by developmental processes. Their book outlines a more encompassing approach to evolutionary ecology, based on first principles in physiology, behaviour, and ecology. It aspires to encourage a further integration of ecology and physiology, as well as fostering a collaborative research agenda between ecologists, physiologists, and developmental biologists.
