  • Bird Species

    How They Arise, Modify and Vanish

    Redigeret af Dieter Thomas Tietze ...
    Serier serie Fascinating Life Sciences
    The average person can name more bird species than they think, but do we really know what a bird “species” is? This open access book takes up several fascinating aspects of bird life to elucidate this basic concept in biology. From genetic and physiological basics to the phenomena of bird song and bird migration, it analyzes various interactions of birds – with their environment and other birds. ... Læs mere

  • 40 Years of Evolution

    Darwin's Finches on Daphne Major Island

    An important look at a groundbreaking forty-year study of Darwin's finchesRenowned evolutionary biologists Peter and Rosemary Grant have produced landmark studies of the Galápagos finches first made famous by Charles Darwin. In How and Why Species Multiply, they offered a complete evolutionary history of Darwin's finches since their origin almost three million years ago. Now, in their richly ... Læs mere

  • Antarctic Ecosystems

    An Extreme Environment in a Changing World

    Since its discovery Antarctica has held a deep fascination for biologists. Extreme environmental conditions, seasonality and isolation have lead to some of the most striking examples of natural selection and adaptation on Earth. Paradoxically, some of these adaptations may pose constraints on the ability of the Antarctic biota to respond to climate change. Parts of Antarctica are showing some of ... Læs mere

  • Reintroduction Biology

    Integrating Science and Management

    Serier Bog 11 - Conservation Science and Practice
    This book aims to further advance the field of reintroduction biology beyond the considerable progress made since the formation of the IUCN/SSC Re-introduction Specialist Group. Using an issue-based framework that purposely avoids a structure based on case studies the book's central theme is advocating a strategic approach to reintroduction where all actions are guided by explicit theoretical ...

  • Biodiversity Conservation and Phylogenetic Systematics

    Preserving our evolutionary heritage in an extinction crisis

    Serier Bog 14 - Topics in Biodiversity and Conservation
    This book is about phylogenetic diversity as an approach to reduce biodiversity losses in this period of mass extinction. Chapters in the first section deal with questions such as the way we value phylogenetic diversity among other criteria for biodiversity conservation; the choice of measures; the loss of phylogenetic diversity with extinction; the importance of organisms that are deeply branched ...

  • Evolution, Development and Ecology of Anemonefishes

    Model Organisms for Marine Science

    Redigeret af Vincent Laudet, Timothy Ravasi ...
    Anemonefishes, one of the most popular and recognizable of fishes in the world, are much more than film characters; they are also emerging model organisms for studying the biology, ecology, and evolution of coral reef fishes. They are a group of 28 species often employed to study patterns and processes of social organization, intra- and inter-specific competition, sex change, mutualism, dispersal ... Læs mere

  • The Flexible Phenotype

    A Body-Centred Integration of Ecology, Physiology, and Behaviour

    The Flexible Phenotype attempts a true synthesis of physiology, behaviour, and ecology by developing an empirical argument that describes the intimate connections between phenotypes and their environments. It portrays an ecological angle to the rapidly growing extended synthesis in evolutionary biology that incorporates developmental processes, self-organization, and the multiple dimensions of ...
