Phylogenetic Analysis of DNA Sequences
ISBN: 9780195066982 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With increasing frequency, systematic and evolutionary biologists have turned to the techniques of molecular biology to complement their traditional morphological and anatomical approaches to questions of the historical relationship and descent among groups of animals and plants. In particular, the comparative analysis of DNA sequences is becoming a common and important focus of research attention today. The objective of this volume is to survey the emerging field of molecular systematics of DNA sequences, and to appraise the strengths and limitations of the different approaches yielded by...

Anolis Lizards of the Caribbean: Ecology, Evolution, and Plate Tectonics
ISBN: 9780195067316 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Anolis lizards of the Caribbean are ideally suited for the study of evolutionary ecology. Offering fascinating insights into the more than 150 species dispersed throughout the Caribbean islands, Jonathan Roughgarden details the differences between species in a wide range of behavioral and physical characteristics, including foraging behaviors, body size, and habitat use, resulting from evolutionary divergences concurrent with the plate-tectonic origins of the region. This book will be of interest to students and researchers--ecology and theoretical, tropical, and population biology.

Concepts in Biological Oceanography: An Interdisciplinary Primer
ISBN: 9780195067323 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This textbook for advanced level courses in oceanography focuses on the interaction of ecological and physical processes that govern the ocean. The book begins with an introduction to ecology, using foraging theory and analytic formulation of encounter rates of predator and prey as organizing principles. Examples used are primarily marine to convey how marine systems differ from terrestrial environments. These differences, which carry through the remainder of the book, arise primarily through the ways in which deposit feeders process seafloor muds, suspension feeders extract particles from...

Theory Change in Science: Strategies from Mendelian Genetics
ISBN: 9780195067972 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This challenging and innovative book examines the processes involved in the birth and development of new scientific ideas. The author has searched for strategies used by scientists for producing new theories, both those that yield a range of plausible hypotheses and ones that aid in narrowing that range. She goes on to focus on the development of the theory of the gene as a case study in scientific creativity. Her discussion of modern genetics greatly demystifies the philosophy of science, and establishes a realistic framework for understanding how scientists actually go about their work....

The Head-Neck Sensory Motor System
ISBN: 9780195068207 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 784 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The head carries most of the sensory systems that enable us to function effectively in our three-dimensional habitat. Without adequate head movement control, efficient spatial orientation and motor responses to visual and auditory stimuli could not be carried out. This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date account of the control of vertebrate head movements and its biomechanical and neural basis. It covers the entire spectrum of research on head-neck movements, ranging from the global description and analysis of a particular behavior to its underlying mechanisms at the level of...

Hybrid Zones and the Evolutionary Process
ISBN: 9780195069174 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hybrid zones--geographical areas in which the hybrids of two races are found--have attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists for many years, both because they are windows on the evolutionary process and because the patterns of animals and plant variation seen in hybrid zones do not fit the traditional classification schemes of taxonomists. Hybrid zones provide insights into the nature of the species, the way barriers to gene exchange function, the genetic basis of those barriers, the dynamics of the speciation process. Hybrid Zones and the Evolutionary Process synthesizes...

Natural Selection: Domains, Levels, and Challenges
ISBN: 9780195069334 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this work, George C. Williams--one of evolutionary biology's most distinguished scholars--examines the mechanisms and meaning of natural selection in evolution. Williams offers his own perspective on modern evolutionary theory, including discussions of the gene as the unit of selection, clade selection and macroevolution, diversity within and among populations, stasis, and other timely and provocative topics. In dealing with the levels-of-selection controversy, he urges a pervasive form of the replicator-vehicle distinction. Natural selection, he argues, takes place in the separate...

Regulating Toxic Substances: A Philosophy of Science and the Law
ISBN: 9780195074369 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The proliferation of chemical substances in commerce poses scientific and philosophical problems. The scientific challenge is to develop data, methodologies, and techniques for identifying and assessing toxic substances before they cause harm to human beings and the environment. The philosophical problem is how much scientific information we should demand for this task consistent with other social goals we might have. In this book, Cranor utilizes material from ethics, philosophy of law, epidemiology, tort law, regulatory law, and risk assessment, to argue that the scientific evidential...

Power Over People
ISBN: 9780195075786 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For most of us, life is spent in one vast electromagnetic field. In the office we sit in front of computer terminals, at home, in front of the television. We cook our meals in microwave ovens, trim our hedges with electric shears, illuminate our houses, workplaces, and streets with incandescent and fluorescent lighting. And until only recently, the potential hazards imposed by life in the shadows of high-voltage power lines have hardly been considered.
First published in 1973, Power Over People was the first book to address the frightening potential side effects of our dependence on... For most of us, life is spent in one vast electromagnetic field. In the office we sit in front of computer terminals, at home, in front of the televis...

Geographic Variation in Behavior: Perspectives on Evolutionary Mechanisms
ISBN: 9780195082951 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Studies of animal behavior often assume that all members of a species exhibit the same behavior. Geographic Variation in Behavior shows that, on the contrary, there is substantional variation within species across a wide range of taxa. Including work from pioneers in the field, this volume provides a balanced overview of research on behavioral characteristics that vary geographically. The authors explore the mechanisms by which behavioral differences evolve and examine related methodological issues. Taken together, the work collected here demonstrates that genetically based...
