Form and Function in Developmental Evolu

📁 Form and Function in Developmental Evolution

✍ Manfred D. Laubichler, Jane Maienschein 📂 Library 📅 2009 🏛 Cambridge University Press 🌐 English

This book represents a new effort to understand very old questions about biological form, function, and the relationships between them. The essays collected here reflect the diversity of approaches in evolutionary developmental biology (Evo Devo), including not only studies by prominent scientists w

Heads, Jaws, and Muscles: Anatomical, Fu

📁 Heads, Jaws, and Muscles: Anatomical, Functional, and Developmental Diversity in Chordate Evolution

✍ Janine M. Ziermann, Raul E. Diaz Jr, Rui Diogo 📂 Library 📅 2019 🏛 Springer International Publishing 🌐 English

<p>The vertebrate head is the most complex part of the animal body and its diversity in nature reflects a variety of life styles, feeding modes, and ecological adaptations. This book will take you on a journey to discover the origin and diversification of the head, which evolved from a seemingly hea

📁 The Evolution of the Primate Hand: Anatomical, Developmental, Functional, and Paleontological Evidence

✍ Tracy L. Kivell, Pierre Lemelin, Brian G. Richmond, Daniel Schmitt (eds.) 📂 Library 📅 2016 🏛 Springer-Verlag New York 🌐 English

<p>This book demonstrates how the primate hand combines both primitive and novel morphology, both general function with specialization, and both a remarkable degree of diversity within some clades and yet general similarity across many others. Across the chapters, different authors have addressed a
