Evolutionary Biology and Ecology of Ostracoda

Theme 3 of the 13th International Symposium on Ostracoda (ISO97)

Edición de Koen Martens, David J. Horne ...

Series Libro 148 - Developments in Hydrobiology
Ostracoda (Crustacea) are potentially excellent model organisms for evolutionary studies, because they combine an extensive fossil record with a wide recent distribution and therefore allow studies on both patterns and processes leading to extant diversity. The main scientific domains contributing theories, concepts, and data to evolutionary biology are morphology (including ontogeny), ... Leer más

Series series Evolution, Cognition, and the Arts
What were the consequences of Tolstoy’s unusual reliance on members of his family as source material for War and Peace? Did affection for close relatives influence depictions of these real prototypes in his fictional characters? Tolstoy used these models to consider his origins, to ponder alternative family histories, and to critique himself. Comparison of the novel and its fascinating drafts with ... Leer más

The Fractal Self

Science, Philosophy, and the Evolution of Human Cooperation

de John L. Culliney, David Jones ...

Our universe, science reveals, began in utter simplicity, then evolved into burgeoning complexity. Starting with subatomic particles, dissimilar entities formed associations—binding, bonding, growing, branching, catalyzing, cooperating—as “self” joined “other” following universal laws with names such as gravity, chemical attraction, and natural selection.

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
Plant classifications are based on morphological characters and it is difficult, particularly in small plants and grasses, to identify these below generic level on the basis of these characters using a dissecting microscope. Plant species have intra- and inter-specific variation in secondary metabolites which can be utilized as marker compounds for identification and classification of plants. ... Leer más
