Sterkfontein: Early Hominid Site in the 'Cradle of Humankind'
ISBN: 9781868144211 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sterkfontein provides an easy-to-read overview of the geological and fossil history of the Sterkfontein Valley in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. Most famous for "Mrs. Ples" and "Little Foot," the Sterkfontein Caves have produced more australopithecines than any other site in the world since excavations began in the 1930s. The fossil record--comprising thousands of animals, plants and hominids--is simply presented and current debates are explained. An overview of the pioneers in the field, and of the role played by the discovery of gold, provides an informative...

Biological Evolution and Statistical Physics
ISBN: 9783540431886 / Angielski / Twarda / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. People have always asked what distinguishes the living from the inanimate world and what uni?es the two. The ?elds of biology and physics have a long history of exchange. Milestones at the molecular level were the discoveries of the structure ofDNA, RNA, andproteins. It is not by coincidence that this exchange has intensi?ed in recent years. Laboratory experiments reach down to the level of single molecules. Moreover, thereisnowavastamountofgenomicinformation, whichisstillgrowingex- nentially due to the various sequencing projects.

Xylem Structure and the Ascent of SAP
ISBN: 9783540433545 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The first edition of this book was the first to provide an integrated description of sap ascension from an anatomical and functional point of view. The second edition opens with the three-dimensional aspects of wood anatomy. The cohesion-tension theory and new evidence are introduced in response to recent controversies over the mechanism of sap ascent in plants. The physiology, anatomy and biophysics of xylem dysfunction are discussed and new insights into hydraulic architecture are reviewed with special emphasis on physiological limits on maximum transpiration and how hydraulic architecture...

Gender and Sexual Dimorphism in Flowering Plants
ISBN: 9783540645979 / Angielski / Twarda / 305 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While the majority of flowering plant species are hermaphroditic, gender di- morphism, or the occurrence of two sexual morphs, has, nevertheless, evolved on repeated occasions. Gender dimorphism is found in nearly half of all angio- sperm families and in approximately 10% of flowering plant species. Where plants are dimorphic in gender, they can also be dimorphic in secondary sex characters. We refer to dimorphism of the latter kind as sexual dimorphism, in keeping with the term's usage by most zoologists. This book is about the evolution of both forms of dimorphism -hence the book's lengthy...

The Intelligent Genome: On the Origin of the Human Mind by Mutation and Selection
ISBN: 9783540671664 / Angielski / Twarda / 355 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Do our genes determine our behavior? Do education and environment have any influence at all? Do humans occupy a unique position in evolution? To clarify these provoking questions, the author takes the reader on an ambitious and entertaining journey through a variety of scientific disciplines. In doing so, he creates an image of human evolution that says that our entire individual knowledge is determined - to the smallest detail - by phylogeny. " ... before shocked humanists discard such radical theses as mere nonsense, they should not completely close their minds to the explanations of a...

Environmental Stress, Adaptation and Evolution
ISBN: 9783764356958 / Angielski / Twarda / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most organisms and populations have to cope with hostile environments that threaten their existence. Their ability to respond phenotypically and genetically to these challenges and to evolve adaptive mechanisms is crucial. This book examines the impact of stress on biological sys tems from a evolutionary perspective. It explores how organisms adapt to extreme environments, how stress changes genetic structure and affe cts life histories, how organisms cope with thermal stress through acc limation, and how environmental and genetic stress induce fluctuating asymmetry, shape selection pressure...

Early Evolution: From the Appearance of the First Cell to the First Modern Organisms
ISBN: 9783764361914 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is now accepted that the first cells derived from simpler "objects," and that their descendants became more and more complicated and ordered until their evolutionary transformation into modern cells, namely, cells endowed with the same basic structures and mechanisms as those existing today. Although the appearance of the first modern cells goes back at least two billion years, many scholars believe that it occurred almost four billion years ago. In that case, the Earth's formation, which took place quite quickly about 4. 6 billion years ago, is in close proximity to the originoflife....

Molecular Genetics of Plant-Microbe Interactions: Proceedings of the Third International Symposium on the Molecular Genetics of Plant-Microbe Associat
ISBN: 9789024734269 / Angielski / Twarda / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Increased interest in the basic biology of plants and microorganisms stems from the fact that crop productivity is directly affected by plant-microbe interactions. In spite of the fact that plants exist in the environment amongst diverse species of microorganisms, only a few ever establish a direct relationship. Emerging awareness concerning the indirect effect of microbial association on plant growth and the possibility of using one microbe against another for controlling pathogenic interactions is at the genesis of new fields of studies. The primary reason for a microbe to associate with-...
