Models in Phylogeny Reconstruction
Av Robert W. Scotland, Darrell J. Siebert m. fl.
Inbunden, 1994
2166 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Phylogenetic reconstruction is the process by which biologists try to identify the evolutionary pathways which organisms have followed. The process is accomplished by examining the relationships between living and extinct organisms.With the advancement of mathematical, molecular, development, and …
Tropical Lichens
Their Systematics, Conservation, and Ecology
Inbunden, 1991
2478 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Tropical lichens are not only of interest in themselves but are of importance in the study of the ecosystems of which they are a part. Information on tropical lichens has not hitherto been readily available in book form, and the object of this volume is to synthesize what is known at present and to …
Pollen and Spores
Patterns of Diversification
Av Blackmore, Jr. Barnes, Rudol m. fl.
Inbunden, 1991
3269 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Pollen and spores are ubiquitous, and preserve exceptionally well. This, with their great structural diversity, offers exceptional opportunities for integrating findings from studies of both recent and fossil material, and for developing new insights into pathways and processes of …
The Biology of Free-living Heterotrophic Flagellates
Av David J. Patterson, Jacob Larsen
Inbunden, 1992
2533 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Flagellated protozoa are important in two biological disciplines. In evolutionary biology, flagellates are critical to understanding the origins of eukaryotic cells and their diversification as protists and subsequently as plants, animals, and fungi. Flagellated protozoa also play a key role in …

Representing a wide range of scientific disciplines from ecology, evolution, molecular biology, physiology, and developmental biology, this book demonstrates the wide range of viewpoints from which plant galls can be studied.The book considers the latest issues, covering questions of …
The Haptophyte Algae
Av GREEN, J. C. Green m. fl.
Inbunden, 1994
1353 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The haptophyte algae (sometimes referred to as the prymnesiophyte algae) are cosmopolitan in their distribution and are particularly important in marine ecosystems. They form a significant component of the phytoplankon and may occasionally be the dominant organisms.In recent years there has been a …
Neotropical Savannas and Seasonally Dry Forests
Plant Diversity, Biogeography, and Conservation
Av R. Toby Pennington, James A. Ratter
Häftad, 2019
1010 kr
Lägg i varukorg
More often than not, when people think of a neotropical forest, what comes to mind is a rain forest, rather than a dry forest. Just as typically, when they imagine a savanna, they visualize the African plains, rather than those dry woodlands and grasslands found in the Neotropics. These same …
Major Events in Early Vertebrate Evolution
Palaeontology, Phylogeny, Genetics, and Development
Inbunden, 2001
3071 kr
Lägg i varukorg
A multi-author volume Major Events in Early Vertebrate Evolution examines the origin and early evolution of the backboned animals (vertebrates)-the group which comprises all fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, including ourselves. This volume draws together evidence from fossils, …
Morphology, Shape and Phylogeny
Av Norman MacLeod, Peter L. Forey
Inbunden, 2002
2750 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Generally, biologists and mathematicians who study the shape and form of organisms have largely been working in isolation from those who work on evolutionary relationships through the analysis of common characteristics. Increasingly however, dialogue between the two communities is beginning to …
Developmental Genetics and Plant Evolution
Av Quentin C.B. Cronk, Richard M. Bateman m. fl.
Häftad, 2002
1831 kr
Lägg i varukorg
A benchmark text, Developmental Genetics and Plant Evolution integrates the recent revolution in the molecular-developmental genetics of plants with mainstream evolutionary thought. It reflects the increasing cooperation between strongly genomics-influenced researchers, with their strong grasp of …
Molecular Systematics and Plant Evolution
Av Peter M. Hollingsworth, Richard M. Bateman m. fl.
Häftad, 1999
1126 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Molecular Systematics and Plant Evolution discusses the diversity and evolution of plants with a molecular approach. It looks at population genetics, phylogeny (history of evolution) and developmental genetics, to provide a framework from which to understand evolutionary patterns and relationships …
Brachiopods
Av Howard Brunton, L. Robin M. Cocks m. fl.
Inbunden, 2001
3424 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The growth history of a brachiopod is entombed in its shell, but research on fossil and living brachiopods has generated unanswered questions about these marine invertebrates. Several contributors to Brachiopods Past and Present comment on their differing structures and morphological detail. They …
