  • Forms of Becoming

    The Evolutionary Biology of Development

    by Alessandro Minelli ...
    What comes first, form or function? Trumpeted as the future of biological science, evolutionary developmental biology (or "evo-devo") answers this fundamental question by showing how evolution controls the development of organisms. In Forms of Becoming, Alessandro Minelli, a leading international figure in the field, takes an in-depth and comprehensive look at the history and key issues of evo ... Read more

  • Understanding Development

    by Alessandro Minelli ...
    Series series Understanding Life
    Developmental biology is seemingly well understood, with development widely accepted as being a series of programmed changes through which an egg turns into an adult organism, or a seed matures into a plant. However, the picture is much more complex than that: is it all genetically controlled or does environment have an influence? Is the final adult stage the target of development and everything ...

  • Plant Evolutionary Developmental Biology

    The Evolvability of the Phenotype

    by Alessandro Minelli ...
    Compared to animals, plants have been largely neglected in evolutionary developmental biology. Mainstream research has focused on developmental genetics, while a rich body of knowledge in comparative morphology is still to be exploited. No integrated account is available. In this volume, Minelli fills this gap using the same approach he gave to animals, revisiting traditional concepts and ... Read more

  • Biological Systematics

    The state of the art

    by Alessandro Minelli ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    To some potential readers of this book the description of Biological System atics as an art may seem outdated and frankly wrong. For most people art is subjective and unconstrained by universal laws. While one picture, play or poem may be internally consistent comparison between different art products is meaningless except by way of the individual artists. On the other hand modern Biological ...

  • Understanding Reproduction

    by Giuseppe Fusco, Alessandro Minelli ...
    Series series Understanding Life
    Our understanding of reproduction and reproductive processes is often biased towards the behaviour of organisms most familiar to us. As such, the amazing disparity of the phenomena of reproduction and sex is often overlooked. Understanding Reproduction addresses all the main facets of this large chapter of the life sciences, including discussions of asexual reproduction, parthenogenesis, sex ... Read more

  • The Biology of Reproduction

    by Giuseppe Fusco, Alessandro Minelli ...
    Reproduction is a fundamental feature of life, it is the way life persists across the ages. This book offers new, wider vistas on this fundamental biological phenomenon, exploring how it works through the whole tree of life. It explores facets such as asexual reproduction, parthenogenesis, sex determination and reproductive investment, with a taxonomic coverage extended over all the main groups - ... Read more

  • Stephen J. Gould: The Scientific Legacy

    Edited by Gian Antonio Danieli, Alessandro Minelli, Telmo Pievani ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    Stephen J. Gould’s greatest contribution to science is a revised version of the theory of evolution which offers today a useful framework for understanding progress in many evolutionary fields. His intuitions about the conjunction of evolution and development, the role of ecological factors in speciation, the multi-level interpretation of the units of selection, and the interplay between ...

  • Towards a Theory of Development

    Edited by Alessandro Minelli, Thomas Pradeu ...
    Is it possible to explain and predict the development of living things? What is development? Articulate answers to these seemingly innocuous questions are far from straightforward. To date, no systematic, targeted effort has been made to construct a unifying theory of development. This novel work offers a unique exploration of the foundations of ontogeny by asking how the development of living ... Read more

  • Arthropod Biology and Evolution

    Molecules, Development, Morphology

    Edited by Alessandro Minelli, Geoffrey Boxshall, Giuseppe Fusco ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    More than two thirds of all living organisms described to date belong to the phylum Arthropoda. But their diversity, as measured in terms of species number, is also accompanied by an amazing disparity in terms of body form, developmental processes, and adaptations to every inhabitable place on Earth, from the deepest marine abysses to the earth surface and the air. The Arthropoda also include one ... Read more

  • Why Evolution Is True

    by Jerry A. Coyne ...
    "Coyne's knowledge of evolutionary biology is prodigious, his deployment of it as masterful as his touch is light." -Richard DawkinsIn the current debate about creationism and intelligent design, there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned-the evidence. Yet the proof of evolution by natural selection is vast, varied, and magnificent. In this succinct and accessible summary of ... Read more

    The New Science of Evo Devo

    by Sean B. Carroll ...
    “A beautiful and very important book.”—Lewis Wolpert, American ScientistFor over a century, opening the black box of embryonic development was the holy grail of biology. Evo Devo—Evolutionary Developmental Biology—is the new science that has finally cracked open the box. Within the pages of his rich and riveting book, Sean B. Carroll explains how we are discovering that complex life is ironically ... Read more
