Etymological Dictionary of Succulent Plant Names
ISBN: 9783540004899 / Angielski / Twarda / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Names are important elements to handle the diversity of items in daily life - persons, objects, animals, plants, etc. Without such names, it would be difficult to attach information to such items and to communicate information about them, and names are usually used without giving them much thought. This is not different for plants. When dealing with plants, however, it soon becomes apparent that the situation is somewhat more complex. Botanists use Latin names to bring order into the vast diversity, while everyday usage resorts to vemacular or "popular" names. As practical as these vernacular...

Cooperation in Primates and Humans: Mechanisms and Evolution
ISBN: 9783540283744 / Angielski / Miękka / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cooperative behavior has been one of the enigmas of evolutionary theory since the days of Charles Darwin. The contributions to this book examine the many facets of cooperative behavior in primates and humans as some of the world s leading experts review and summarize the state of the art of theoretical and empirical studies of cooperation. This book is thus the first to bridge the gap between parallel research in primatology and studies of humans. Comparative as this approach is, it highlights both common principles and aspects of human uniqueness with respect to cooperative...

Ernst Mayr (1904 2005), eminent naturalist-systematist and ornithologist, - chitect of the Synthetic Theory of Evolution, leading evolutionary biologist and in?uential historian and philosopher of biology, was asked repeatedly by friends, associates, and peers to write an autobiography, but he always declined such s- gestions because he considered those of other people he knew as inadequate. Moreover, he could not very well talk about himself without bragging, which did not appeal to him. Who else has had a private dinner with the Emperor and -...

Epidemiology and Plant Ecology: Principles and Applications
ISBN: 9789812705778 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The spatial aspects of epidemics have been a largely ignored feature of plant ecology, yet an understanding of the spatial dynamics for pathogens is essential to quantifying the impact of diseases on wild plants. Moreover, it may provide valuable information for the control of human diseases. This seminal work fulfills such a role by describing the basics of botanical epidemiology within the context of plant ecology. A variety of models are covered to estimate key parameters at both the individual plant and population levels, with emphasis on the value of spatial-temporal models in the...

Biosphere Origin and Evolution
ISBN: 9780387686554 / Angielski / Twarda / 437 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern natural science shows that the infancy of life on Earth experienced prebiotic evolution and included the emergence of primitive self-reproducing biologic forms and their systems. The subsequent coevolution of inorganic environment and biologic systems resulted in global propagation of life over the Earth and its enormous diversification. Diverse living organisms colonized the land, water, and atmosphere, as well as upper layers of the lithosphere, thereby forming the biosphere. Formerly, it was thought that abiogenic synthesis of prebiotic matter occurred in the Earth s atmosphere on...

Searching Behaviour: The Behavioural Ecology of Finding Resources
ISBN: 9780412292101 / Angielski / Twarda / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a book about proximate mechanisms. Although some theoreti cal structure is used to introduce the subject, the intent is to offer a comprehensive view of the mechanistic side of searching (or foraging) so as to balance the current emphasis of books on mathematical and functional models. It seems to me that the pendulum needs to swing back to studies of how animals behave, and that maybe in so doing models will become valuable again in driving experimentation. I have probably included too many examples in this book, and some are even presented in great detail. Hopefully, they provide a...

Digital Biology: How Nature is Transforming Our Technology and Our Lives
ISBN: 9781416577140 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Imagine a future world where computers can create universes -- digital environments made from binary ones and zeros. Imagine that within these universes there exist biological forms that reproduce, grow, and think. Imagine plantlike forms, ant colonies, immune systems, and brains, all adapting, evolving, and getting better at solving problems. Imagine if our computers became greenhouses for a new kind of nature. Just think what digital biology could do for us. Perhaps it could evolve new designs for us, think up ways to detect fraud using digital neurons, or solve scheduling problems...

ISBN: 9783827416018 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wir Menschen sind erstaunliche Wesen. Unsere Korper sind in der Evolution - genau wie die aller Tiere - durch naturliche Selektion entstanden, und doch unterscheiden wir uns von samtlichen anderen Geschopfen in vielfaltiger Weise. Wir nutzen Sprache zur Kommunikation. Wir fuhren Kriege, glauben an Religionen, bestatten unsere Toten und sind bei Sex-Themen peinlich beruhrt. Wir sehen fern, fahren Auto und essen Eis. Warum sind wir so anders? Als einzige Vertreter unter den Tieren vermogen Menschen andere zu imitieren und konnen so Ideen, Angewohnheiten, Fahigkeiten, Verhaltensweisen,...

Group Selection
ISBN: 9780202362229 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Living things are constantly engaged in a struggle for existence, and ingenious devices for the purpose of self-preservation can be seen in all types of animal and plant life. However, nature also displays phenomena that are not related to survival or that seem clearly to violate the principle of self-preservation - particularly when organisms interact with one another. Darwin investigated these apparent contradictions and proposed that both mechanisms of self preservation and those of reproduction are explained by a more basic principle of "natural selection" - the reproductive survival of...

Echinoderm Paleobiology
ISBN: 9780253351289 / Angielski / Twarda / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The dominant faunal elements in shallow Paleozoic oceans, echinoderms are important to understanding these marine ecosystems. Echinoderms (which include such animals as sea stars, crinoids or sea lilies, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers) have left a rich and, for science, extremely useful fossil record. For various reasons, they provide the ideal source for answers to the questions that will help us develop a more complete understanding of global environmental and biodiversity changes. This volume highlights the modern study of fossil echinoderms and is organized into five...

Transformed Cladistics, Taxonomy and Evolution
ISBN: 9780521055130 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is an examination of the relationship between classification and evolutionary theory, with reference to the competing schools of taxonomic thinking. Emphasis is placed on one of these schools, the transformed cladists who have attempted to reject all evolutionary thinking in classification and to cast doubt on evolution in general. The author examines the limits to this line of thought from a philosophical and methodological perspective. He concludes that transformed cladistics does not achieve what it claims and that it either implicitly assumes a Platonic World View, or is...

Darwin's Illness
ISBN: 9780813032313 / Angielski / Twarda / 337 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The year 2009 will mark the bicentennial of Charles Darwin s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species. From 1840 to his death in 1882, Darwin was constantly plagued by chronic illnesses that allowed him to work only a few hours at a time and by an obsession with his physical health. Was this the psychosomatic product of stress resulting from the development and public reception to his theory of evolution or the result of a disease or parasite obtained during the world traveler s excursions?In 1977 Ralph Colp Jr. argued persuasively for the...
