Evolutionary History
ISBN: 9781606509654 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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. 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 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: 9781606509555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Food webs, energy flow, indirect effects, and nutrient cycling are described as properties that emerge in ecological systems. Several of these properties are shown in this book to result from indirect effects and interactions between species and abiotic components of ecological systems. For instance, top predators affect organisms with which they do not directly interact, including plants and non-prey animals. In some other interactions, including competition, the nonliving components of ecological systems (the abiota) can alter the outcome of a biotic interaction. A limiting resource often...

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...

Cellular Structure and Function
ISBN: 9781606509951 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Behavior and Information Exchange
ISBN: 9781606509494 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Animal behavior includes the exchange of non of the same species. Animals exchange information for a variety of reasons, including mating, defense, and cooperation, and all of these situations will be discussed. This book will describe the functions of communication and information transfer between organisms and explain how animals communicate and find each other through use of different signals. The costs and benefits of using various signals will be evaluated, as will the costs and benefits of living in groups. Playback experiments and the comparative method are approaches used for...

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...

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...

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...

Ecological Dynamics
ISBN: 9781606509579 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Population growth, dynamics, and blooms of bacterial, unicellular eukaryotes, and toxic algae are described in this book. Microbes are used to illustrate both exponential and logistic population growth. Microbes are also used to illustrate dynamics in other aspects of ecological systems, including nutrient cycling. The movement of nitrogen in ecological systems is largely affected by microbes, some of which have symbiotic relationships with legums. The effects of the environment on the growth of microbes and the effects of the microbes on ecological systems are described in...

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...
