The aim of this volume is to explain some of the biology and the computational and mathematical challenges with the modeling and simulation of biological networks. The different chapters provide examples of how these challenges are met, with particular emphasis on nontraditional…

The Proboscidea: evolution and palaeoecology of elephants and thei…

by Shoshani, Jeheskel, Tassy, Pascal

fromOxford science publications

0 Type: Book

Publisher Description (unedited publisher data) Though only two elephant species remain alive today, the Proboscidea were one of the great mammalian orders of the Cenozoic. Their success through the ages is reflected by their morphological and taxonomic diversity, their nearly w…

Molecular panbiogeography of the tropics

by Heads, Michael J.

fromSpecies and systematics

0 Type: Book

Molecular studies reveal highly ordered geographic patterns in plant and animal distributions. The tropics illustrate these patterns of community immobilism leading to allopatric differentiation, as well as other patterns of mobilism, range expansion, and overlap of taxa. Integr…

In search of human nature: the decline and revival of Darwinism in American …

by Degler, Carl N., (Carl Neumann)

0 Type: Book

What are the roots of human nature and what is wrong with the scientific picture of what and who we are? Was Thomas Hobbes right to say that human life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short?" In this new work, biologist Mary Clark argues that the Western view of human na…

Plant systematics: a phylogenetic approach

by Judd, Walter S., Campbell, Christopher S., Kellogg, Elizabeth Anne

0 Type: Book

A comprehensive introduction to vascular plant phylogeny, the Third Edition of Plant Systematics reflects changes in the circumscription of many orders and families to represent monophyletic groups, following the most recent classification of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. The …

Plant systematics: an integrated approach

by Singh, Gurcharan

0 Type: Book

The focus of the book is to consolidate the information on the principles of plant systematic, including detailed discussion on all major systems of classification, and significantly, also include discussion on the selected families of vascular plants, without sacrificing the di…

The evolution of phylogenetic systematics

fromSpecies and systematics

0 Type: Book

This book articulates an agenda for the study of systematics and taxonomy in a way that connects classification with larger historical themes in the biological sciences, including morphology, experimental and observational approaches, evolution, biogeography, debates over form a…

Encouraging interdisciplinary research, this book introduces state-of-the-art phylogenetics to the Bayesian statistical community and, likewise, presents state-of-the-art Bayesian statistics to the phylogenetics community. The book emphasizes model selection, reflecting recent i…

Reconstructing the past: parsimony, evolution and inference

by Sober, Elliott

0 Type: Book

Reconstructing the Past seeks to clarify and help resolve the vexing methodological issues that arise when biologists try to answer such questions as whether human beings are more closely related to chimps than they are to gorillas. It explores the case for considering the philo…
