Recenzii
" [includes] fascinating examples of unwarranted assumptions in comparative biology. Reading this book allowed me to recognize similar assumptions in other areas of biology."

Descriere
The authors propose to edit a thought-provoking assessment of widely accepted assumptions impeding progress in comparative biology. The volume will be inspired (but not strictly based on) by a symposium to be held at the annual JMIH. The basis of the book will be a list of these impeding assumptions generated 30 years ago, which has assumed almost legendary status among comparative evolutionary biologists. A perusal of the list reveals a set of assumptions with continued relevance. The chapters will not necessarily be data driven. The contents of the book should be relevant to any comparative biologist and the contents should be provocative for any biologist.
Notă biografică
Brian I. Crother is Professor of Biological Sciences and Assistant Dean of the College of Science and Technology at Southeastern Louisiana University. He is the President Elect of the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles. His research focuses on evolution from a phylogenetic perspective; historical biogeography, historical ecology, patterns of gene evolution, patterns of species evolution, methodology and philosophy of phylogenetic analysis. In addition, he is engaged in survey work for the accumulation of long term data for amphibian and reptile populations in local wetlands. Lynne R. Parenti is curator of Fishes at the National Museum of Natural History, which is part of the Smithsonian Institution. Her research program focuses on the phylogeny, systematics, comparative morphology, and historical biogeography of bony fishes especially the systematics and biogeography of freshwater and coastal marine fishes of the Indo-Pacific; use of new morphological characters in systematic ichthyology, especially neglected character sets; and the development of new tools for the collection and preservation of natural history specimens. She is the author or editor of several books including a previous volume in the Species and Systematics book series.
