  • Alfred Russell Wallace Contributions to the theory of Natural Selection, 1870, and Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace , 'On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties' (Papers presented to the Linnean Society 30th June 1858)

    Edición de David Knight ...
    Wallace noticed on expeditions to the Amazon and the Malay archipelego that mammals in Southeast Asia are more advanced than their Australian cousins. His suggestion was that the two continents had split before the better adapted mammals had evolved in Asia. The isolated Australian marsupials were able to thrive, whilst those in Asia were driven to extinction by competition from more advanced ... Leer más

  • Odontodes

    The Developmental and Evolutionary Building Blocks of Dentitions

    Edición de Donglei Chen ...
    Series series Evolutionary Cell Biology
    The odontode system, which encompasses teeth and other dentine-based structures, is ancient.

  • Infanticide

    Comparative and Evolutionary Perspectives

    de Glenn Hausfater, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy ...
    Recent field studies of a variety of mammalian species reveal a surprisingly high frequency of infanticide - the killing of unweaned or otherwise maternally dependent offspring. Similarly, studies of birds, fish, amphibians, and invertebrates demonstrate egg and larval mortality in these species, a phenomenon directly analogous to infanticide in mammals. In this collection, Hausfater and Hrdy draw ... Leer más

  • Love and Hate

    The Natural History of Behavior Patterns

    de Irenaus Eibl-Eibesfeldt ...
    The author argues that there are specific turning points in evolution. Structures and behavioral patterns that evolved in the service of discrete functions sometimes allow for unforeseen new developments as a side effect. In retrospect, they have proven to be pre-adaptations, and serve as raw material for natural selection to work upon. Love and Hate was intended to complement Konrad Lorenz's book ... Leer más

    Extraordinary Differences between the Sexes in the Animal Kingdom
