Evolution of Interactions in Communities
ISBN: 9781606509678 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Properties in and of Populations
ISBN: 9781606509777 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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. 13-18 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...

Emergent Properties of Individual Organisms
ISBN: 9781606509630 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Organismal Homeostasis
ISBN: 9781606509739 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Organisms maintain homeostasis in a variety of ways. In the first part of this book, mammals are shown to regulate their body temperatures through homeostatic mechanisms. The data from thermoregulation experiments that demonstrated the role of neurons in body temperature homeostasis are examined. The second part of this book discusses how organisms allocate the limited energy that is available to them for survival, growth, or reproduction. Excess energy in individuals can translate to growth of populations: if enough remains after survival and growth, it can be allocated to reproduction....

Cellular Structure and Function
ISBN: 9781606509951 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Cells: Structure and Function looks at structure and function at the cellular level first by discussing how difficult it is to define a cell. Then it addresses two size extremes by looking at the upper limit for cell size and whether viruses are alive or not. All life is composed of cells, but what is the definition of a cell? Can size, shape or function be used to distinguish cells from non-living biological systems such as a virus? Whatever the definition of a cell is, it can probably be contradicted by cells with unusual characteristics. For example, there are cells as long as a...

Effects of Genetic and Pathogenic Diseases on Cells
ISBN: 9781606509616 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Evolutionary History
ISBN: 9781606509654 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book describes how evolutionary history is studied using several well-known examples and also using evolutionary trees. Evolutionary trees are analyzed and used to explain adaptive radiations of orchids and the diversification of bats over geologic time. Evolutionary trees and genetic evidence is used to infer when and from what ancestors terrestrial plants evolved and invaded land. Specific adaptations of early land plants led to the evolution of terrestrial plants and their success on land. Evidence about the ancestors and habitats of humans is used to infer and analyze the evolution...

Population Homeostasis
ISBN: 9781606509753 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...
