  • The Evolution of Dasyurid Marsupials

    Systematics and Family History

    by Carey Krajewski, Patricia A... Woolley, Michael Westerman ...

  • Great Transformations in Vertebrate Evolution

    Edited by Kenneth P. Dial, Neil Shubin, Elizabeth L. Brainerd ...
    How did flying birds evolve from running dinosaurs, terrestrial trotting tetrapods evolve from swimming fish, and whales return to swim in the sea? These are some of the great transformations in the 500-million-year history of vertebrate life. And with the aid of new techniques and approaches across a range of fields—work spanning multiple levels of biological organization from DNA sequences to ... Read more

  • Animal Evolution

    Genomes, Fossils, and Trees

    by NATURAL SCIENCES and MATHEMATICS (500), ZOOLOGICAL SCIENCES (590) ...
    Animal life, now and over the past half billion years, is incredibly diverse. Describing and understanding the evolution of this diversity of body plans - from vertebrates such as humans and fish to the numerous invertebrate groups including sponges, insects, molluscs, and the many groups of worms - is a major goal of evolutionary biology. In this book, a group of leading researchers adopt a ... Read more

  • Carnivoran Evolution

    New Views on Phylogeny, Form and Function

    Edited by Anjali Goswami, Anthony Friscia ...
    Series Book 1 - Cambridge Studies in Morphology and Molecules: New Paradigms in Evolutionary Bio
    Members of the mammalian clade Carnivora have invaded nearly every continent and ocean, evolving into bamboo-eating pandas, clam-eating walruses and of course, flesh-eating sabre-toothed cats. With this ecological, morphological and taxonomic diversity and a fossil record spanning over sixty million years, Carnivora has proven to be a model clade for addressing questions of broad evolutionary ...

  • Understanding Evo-Devo

    by Wallace Arthur ...
    Series series Understanding Life
    Why do the best-known examples of evolutionary change involve the alteration of one kind of animal into another very similar one, like the evolution of a bigger beak in a bird? Wouldn't it be much more interesting to understand how beaks originated? Most people would agree, but until recently we didn't know much about such origins. That is now changing, with the growth of the interdisciplinary ... Read more

  • Macropods

    The Biology of Kangaroos, Wallabies and Rat-kangaroos

    Edited by Graeme Coulson, Mark Eldridge ...
    This book covers the proceedings of a major 2006 symposium on macropods that brought together the many recent advances in the biology of this diverse group of marsupials, including research on some of the much neglected macropods such as the antilopine wallaroo, the swamp wallaby and tree-kangaroos. More than 80 authors have contributed 32 chapters, which are grouped into four themes: genetics, ... Read more

  • Quirks of Human Anatomy

    An Evo-Devo Look at the Human Body

    by Lewis I. Held, Jr ...
    With the emergence of the new field of evolutionary developmental biology we are witnessing a renaissance of Darwin's insights 150 years after his On the Origin of Species. Thus far, the exciting findings from 'evo-devo' have only been trickling into college courses and into the domain of non-specialists. With its focus on the human organism, Quirks of Human Anatomy opens the floodgates by stating ... Read more

  • Introduction to Bryophytes

    by Alain Vanderpoorten, Bernard Goffinet ...
    Bryophytes were a pivotal step in land plant evolution, and their significance in the regulation of ecosystems and the conservation of biodiversity is becoming increasingly acknowledged. This introductory textbook assumes no prior knowledge of bryophyte biology, making it ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as amateur botanists. The authors expertly summarise the ... Read more

  • Evolution

    A Developmental Approach

    by Wallace Arthur ...
    This book is aimed at students taking courses on evolution in universities and colleges. Its approach and its structure are very different from previously-published evolution texts. The core theme in this book is how evolution works by changing the course of embryonic and post-embryonic development. In other words, it is an evolution text that has been very much influenced by the new approach of ... Read more

  • Biodiversity of Fungi

    Inventory and Monitoring Methods

    by Greg M. Mueller ...
    Biodiversity of Fungi is essential for anyone collecting and/or monitoring any fungi. Fascinating and beautiful, fungi are vital components of nearly all ecosystems and impact human health and our economy in a myriad of ways. Standardized methods for documenting diversity and distribution have been lacking. A wealth of information, especially regrading sampling protocols, compiled by an ... Read more
