Mechanisms of Evolution
ISBN: 9781606509715 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Three of the four major mechanisms of evolution, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow are examined. There are 5 tenets of natural selection that influence individual organisms: Individuals within populations are variable, that variation is heritable, organisms differ in their ability to survive and reproduce, more individuals are produced in a generation than can survive, and survival & reproduction of those variable individuals are non-random. Organisms respond evolutionarily to changes in their environment and other selection pressures, including global climate change. The...

Properties in and of Populations
ISBN: 9781606509777 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Properties of populations include age and spatial distribution, both of which emerge from actions and properties of individuals and can affect population dynamics, the changes in populations and metapopulations over time and space. The age structure of a population is described and analyzed to determine how it affects the growth of a population. The various aspects of spatial structure of populations, which also arise from characteristics and behaviors of individuals, are examined and used to develop the concept of a metapopulation. Finally, this book discusses how individuals perform...

Cellular Consequences of Evolution
ISBN: 9781606509876 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Cellular Consequences of Evolution applies evolutionary mechanism to understand how DNA mutations are formed and how new species arise. The final chapter applies evolution to B cells and considers why allergies get worse over time. Once the first cell arose on Earth, how did genetic diversity arise if DNA replication and cell division generate exact copies? The answer is that neither process is perfect and that changes do occur at each step. Some changes are small and subtle while others are large and dramatic. As DNA mutates, evolution of a population takes place. But when can someone...

Ecological Homeostasis
ISBN: 9781606509531 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Individual organisms contribute to nutrient cycling in ecological systems, which is shown to be a mechanism of homeostasis at that level. The phosphorus and nitrogen cycles are used to illustrate effects of changes in populations or communities on the cycling of these nutrients. Major disturbances such as deforestation and global climate change disrupt nutrient cycles and ecological system homeostasis. Data are examined to determine effects of deforestation on nutrient cycling. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and global climate change are disrupting ecological systems' homeostasis, and...

Emergent Properties of Individual Organisms
ISBN: 9781606509630 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book begins by describing what an individual organism is, comparing preconceptions of the individual to non-standard ways of thinking about individuals. Variation in what individuals are is described, using giant fungi, clonal trees and honey bee hives as examples. Individuals are thus shown to be emergent properties. Other emergent properties of individuals are also described. Classic experiments that elucidated the source of emotions in humans and other mammals are described. Emotions arise from the actions of the nervous and endocrine system and often include a variety of signals...

Using DNA Information to Make Proteins
ISBN: 9781944749170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Using DNA Information to Make Proteins covers a oecentral dogmaa meaning the conversion of DNA information into RNA and protein. Readers will also learn about non-linear information of mRNA and protein processing. Many people were taught that DNA is the a oeblueprint of the cell, a but what does that really mean? If taken literally, it would reveal a static image of what the cell looks like, but that would be incorrect. DNA codes the necessary information to produce a living being but the DNA itself is insufficient to bring a cell to life. DNA must be transcribed into...

This book identifies the commonalities between communication within a species and communication between species. Behavior and exchange of non-heritable information occurs between individuals of different species, in animals and plants, in order to exploit other species and compete for resources. Several examples of adaptations of one species to exploit the information passed between individuals of another species are given. This book describes how animals make decisions while gathering information and resources, selecting habitat, and interacting with potential competitors. Plants grow in...

Population Homeostasis
ISBN: 9781606509753 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book will synthesize the concepts of selection against individuals in response to environmental change to illustrate how selection against individuals results in homeostasis at the population level. For instance, selection against the light phenotype of the peppered moth during the early part of the industrial revolution led to an increase of the dark phenotype, which was better camouflaged against the soot that accumulated on tree bark as a result of burning coal. Populations are shown to be regulated by feedback mechanisms, several of which are discussed here. Populations are regulated...

Cellular Respiration
ISBN: 9781606509975 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many people find the process of cell metabolism boring and dry, but thata (TM)s because they tried to memorize all the steps. This book takes a fresh approach and shows the elegance of cells extracting energy from food and regulating this process as needed. What happens to a meal after it is eaten? Food consists primarily of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates (sugars). How do cells in the body process food once it is eaten and turn it into a form of energy that other cells can use? This book examines some of the classic experimental data that revealed how cells break down food to extract...

Effects of Genetic and Pathogenic Diseases on Cells
ISBN: 9781606509616 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Several genetic and pathogenic diseases are described to illustrate how diseases can and do disrupt normal molecular and cellular functions, and how those disruptions affect entire organisms. In the case of genetic diseases, how they arise and are maintained in populations is discussed. In the case of pathogenic and parasitic organisms, understanding their complex life cycles and their modes of transmission is critical to understanding their effects on individuals and how disease outbreaks occur in ecological systems. Communication between the pathogen and the host organism occurs in the...

Evolution of Interactions in Communities
ISBN: 9781606509678 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Pairwise and diffuse coevolution are defined, with examples that include mutualisms and predator-prey interactions. In any example of coevolution, the costs and benefits to both species involved in the interaction must be assessed in order to understand evolution of the interaction. Models to explain coral bleaching are examined in the context of a coevolutionary mutualism, as are the implications for the possible extinction of coral reefs. Data are examined in order to determine which model is best supported. Other examples of how evolution affects interactions and communities of organisms...
