Ecological Developmental Biology

Autor Scott F. Gilbert, David Epel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 feb 2009
This is an important text for a still-emerging field of Biology, relating the embryo to its environment. Intersecting numerous disciplines in the Biological and Life Sciences, the authors have provided coverage in which the molecular biology of epigenetic development meets and interacts with the evolutionary aspects of phenotypic plasticity.

Recenzii


'Overall, a masterful synthesis! It's one of those things that makes one say, "Damn, I wish I had written that!"' - Fred Nijhout, Duke University, USA

'A unique, thought-provoking, and clearly written treatment, at the molecular level, of the environment's influence on embryonic development and the paths of evolutionary change.' - John Gerhart, University of California, Berkeley, USA
 
'This is an incredible piece of work, and something that is sorely needed, right now.' - Mary Tyler, University of Maine, USA 

'This is an extraordinary work … first-class conceptually and pedagogically.' - John Beatty, University of British Columbia, Canada
