The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature
ISBN: 9780060556570 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Referring to Lewis Carroll's Red Queen from Through the Looking-Glass, a character who has to keep running to stay in the same place, Matt Ridley demonstrates why sex is humanity's best strategy for outwitting its constantly mutating internal predators. The Red Queen answers dozens of other riddles of human nature and culture -- including why men propose marriage, the method behind our maddening notions of beauty, and the disquieting fact that a woman is more likely to conceive a child by an adulterous lover than by her husband. Brilliantly written, The Red... Referring to Lewis Carroll's Red Queen from Through the Looking-Glass, a character who has to keep running to stay in the same pl... |

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Dynamic Food Webs challenges us to rethink what factors may determine ecological and evolutionary pathways of food web development. It touches upon the intriguing idea that trophic interactions drive patterns and dynamics at different levels of biological organization: dynamics in species composition, dynamics in population life-history parameters and abundances, and dynamics in individual growth, size and behavior. These dynamics are shown to be strongly interrelated governing food web structure and stability and the role of populations and communities play in ecosystem...
