Evolutionary Developmental Biology de Scott Gilbert

Evolutionary Developmental Biology: Current Topics in Developmental Biology, cartea 141

Scott Gilbert
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 feb 2021
Evolutionary Developmental Biology, Volume 141 focuses on recent research in evolutionary developmental biology, the science studying how changes in development cause the variations that natural selection operate on. Several new hypotheses and models are presented in this volume, and these concern how homology may be properly delineated, how neural crest and placode cells emerged and how they formed the skull and jaw, and how plasticity and developmental symbiosis enable normal development to be regulated by environmental factors.

  • New models for homology
  • New hypotheses for the generation of chordates
  • New models for the roles of plasticity and symbionts in normal development

Public țintă

This volume is written both for student, teachers, and researchers in the fields of developmental biology, evolution, or evolutionary developmental biology. Since evolutionary developmental biology is a field that spans a great variety of disciplines, it is written for people who have some background in at least one of these areas and who wish to expand their knowledge of how animal developmental history and evolutionary history interact.

Recenzii

"There is an interesting blend in the contents and goals of the different chapters. Chapters 3–8 are consecutive to one another in their content, and offer a superb synopsis of the main events that punctuated the evolutionary history of chordates. This storytelling section of the book features a comprehensive review of current research on hemichordates that outlines their relationship with chordates; a firsthand account of how amphioxus was literally dug out of the mud and catapulted to the center stage of research on chordate origins; the fascinating tale of a group of ascidians that lost their tail; an exquisite description of neural crest cells, as they travel across the body during chordate development and travel back in evolutionary time to their distant origins in nonchordate bilaterians; and exceptionally well>crafted reports of the theories and recent views on the origins and evolution of jaws, cranium, and face, the milestones leading to the vertebrate head.
In summary, this volume equips its readers, both newcomers and experts, with an essential vade mecum of key concepts in evolutionary biology, and with a detailed history of chordate innovations and their origins." --The Quarterly Review of Biology
