  • Adaptationist Evo-Devo

    de Mark E. Olson ...
    Adaptationist Evo-Devo is a practical and inviting guide to one of biology's most vital ongoing conversations: how to explain the diversity of life by connecting natural selection to the developmental processes that make evolution possible. Without calling for a revolution or declaring anything broken, Olson gently maps out an expansive way forward, one grounded in mutual regard for the different ... Leer más

  • The Plausibility of Life

    Resolving Darwin's Dilemma

    de Marc W. Kirschner, John C. Gerhart ...
    Two biologists tackle the unresolved question in the field of evolution: how have living organisms on Earth developed with such variety and complexity?In the 150 years since Darwin, the field of evolutionary biology has left a glaring gap in understanding how animals developed their astounding variety and complexity. The standard answer has been that small genetic mutations accumulate over time to ... Leer más

  • Evolution: Still a Theory in Crisis

    de Michael Denton ...
    More than thirty years after his landmark book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1985), biologist Michael Denton revisits his earlier thesis about the inability of Darwinian evolution to explain the history of life. He argues that there remains "an irresistible consilience of evidence for rejecting Darwinian cumulative selection as the major driving force of evolution." From the origin of life to the ...

    The Developmental Origins of Adaptation and Biodiversity

    de Kevin N. Lala, Tobias Uller, Nathalie Feiner, Marcus W. Feldman, Scott F. Gilbert ...
    A new account of the central role developmental processes play in evolutionA new scientific view of evolution is emerging—one that challenges and expands our understanding of how evolution works. Recent research demonstrates that organisms differ greatly in how effective they are at evolving. Whether and how each organism adapts and diversifies depends critically on the mechanistic details of how ... Leer más

  • In Search of Mechanisms

    Discoveries across the Life Sciences

    de Carl F. Craver, Lindley Darden ...
    Neuroscientists investigate the mechanisms of spatial memory. Molecular biologists study the mechanisms of protein synthesis and the myriad mechanisms of gene regulation. Ecologists study nutrient cycling mechanisms and their devastating imbalances in estuaries such as the Chesapeake Bay. In fact, much of biology and its history involves biologists constructing, evaluating, and revising their ... Leer más

  • Plant Evolution

    An Introduction to the History of Life

    de Karl J. Niklas ...
    Although plants comprise more than 90% of all visible life, and land plants and algae collectively make up the most morphologically, physiologically, and ecologically diverse group of organisms on earth, books on evolution instead tend to focus on animals. This organismal bias has led to an incomplete and often erroneous understanding of evolutionary theory. Because plants grow and reproduce ... Leer más
