The role of evolution in the patterns and observed processes in microbial ecology has long been neglected in available texts, yet the interface between evolution and ecology has been fruitful in explaining many macrobiological phenomena and should also help explain patterns in the microbiological world. Microbial Ecology provides a unique and exciting interface for the training of microbial ecologists, environmental microbiologists and ecologists in general. * Applies evolutionary ecological concepts to microbes * Addresses individual, population and community ecology * Presents species concepts and offers insights on the origin of life and modern microbial ecology * Examines topics such as species interactions, nutrient cycling, quorum sensing and cheating

Darwin en Freud hebben veel gemeen. Zo staan ze al vele jaren gezellig naast elkaar in mijn boekenrek en is het bekend dat Freud een grote bewondering koesterde voor het werk van Darwin, in wiens voetsporen hij zichzelf graag plaatste als een denker die het denken van en over de mens fundamenteel veranderde. Darwin bevrijdde de mens van elke illusie met betrekking tot zijn afkomst en Freud ontnam de mens de idee dat deze heer en meester in eigen huis is. Zo gaan de verhalen tenminste en alvast één persoon is het daar niet mee eens: Geerdt Magiels, die Freud & Darwin op de sofa op het Nederlandstalige publiek loslaat. Magiels verzorgt een soort losse biografie van beide personae, aangevuld met kleine weetjes uit hun dagelijkse leven ? Freud deed wel eens een dutje tijdens een middaganalyse ? en lof en kritiek op hun werk en persoon. Lof dan natuurlijk voor Darwin om zijn onbetwistbare wetenschappelijke verdiensten en kritiek voor Freud om diens vermeende gebrek aan wetenschappelijkheid. Over het eerste kan geen twijfel bestaan. Darwin zal ? als de geloofsgemeenschap in de Verenigde Staten een beetje wil meerwerken ? geboekstaafd blijven als de man die ons denken 'gerevolutioneerd' heeft. Wat Freud betreft liggen de zaken duidelijk en helaas anders. De psychoanalyse heeft van in den beginne een moeilijke start genomen wat erkenning betreft en niet zonder reden. Nooit heeft Freud een eenduidige theorie geformuleerd ? waarop Magiels ook wijst ? en over de wetenschappelijkheid van zijn werk bestaat al net zo lang discussie als de psychoanalytische theorieën zelf bestaan. Het wordt echter een beetje vermoeiend hierover kritieken te lezen die veelal gebaseerd zijn op secundaire literatuur en gewillig meegaan in het populaire straatje van de 'Freud-bashing'. Een euvel waar ook Freud & Darwin op de sofa niet aan ontsnapt of zelfs maar ontsnappen wil.

Reconstructing phylogenetic trees from DNA sequences has become a popular exercise in many branches of biology, and here the well-known geneticist John Avise explains why. Molecular phylogenies provide a genealogical backdrop for interpreting the evolutionary histories of many other types of biological traits (anatomical, behavioral, ecological, physiological, biochemical and even geographical). Guiding readers on a natural history tour along dozens of evolutionary pathways, the author describes how creatures ranging from microbes to elephants came to possess their current phenotypes. Essential reading for college students, professional biologists and anyone interested in natural history and biodiversity, this book is packed with fascinating examples of evolutionary puzzles from across the animal kingdom; how the toucan got its enormous bill, how reptiles grow back lost limbs and why Arctic fish don't freeze.

More and more data indicate that evolution has resulted in lineages consisting of mosaics of genes derived from different ancestors. It is therefore becoming increasingly clear that the tree is an inadequate metaphor of evolutionary change. In this book, Arnold promotes the 'web-of-life' metaphor as a more appropriate representation of evolutionary change in all lifeforms. - ;Even before the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species, the perception of evolutionary change has been a tree-like pattern of diversification - with divergent branches spreading further and further from the trunk.

This volume brings together current research on the behavior, ecology, reproduction, and life history - and the interrelations among these variables - of baboons of the genus Papio. Baboons, found throughout Africa and into Arabia, represent one of the best-known primate lineages, renowned for their ecological and behavioral flexibility and adaptability. These characteristics are intimately intertwined with features of baboon life history and reproduction. Contributors to this volume, representing several major, long-term research projects from throughout the African continent, explore reproductive behavior and strategies of adult male and female baboons in a variety of ways. In Part I, authors explore various aspects of baboon reproduction and social organization, focusing on issues such as infanticide, mating strategies and investment, hybridization and genetics in examining how adults go about mating and reproducing. In Part II, these aspects of life are juxtaposed with detailed examinations of life history and parental investment. Together, the chapters in this volume explore reproduction and parenting from a variety of angles and motivate research from both the parental and offspring perspectives and at a variety of taxonomic levels. Articulating studies of reproduction with those of life history conveys a richly detailed portrait of life phases with critical evolutionary consequences. These lines of inquiry together forge new ways to investigate the life periods that matter most in evolution.
