"Sexual selection, Darwin's other big idea, is the selection for particular traits and behaviours that results from (usually) female choice and male competition. It can produce flamboyant features, such as the peacock's tail, which would seem to be detrimental to survival. This work explores our understanding of how sexual selection works." --Publisher description.

Ons verhaal begint zo'n 3,8 miljard jaar geleden. Niets liet vermoeden dat de primitieve oercellen van toen aanleiding zouden geven tot de gigantische biodiversiteit van vandaag. Daarbij komen de meest wonderbaarlijke aanpassingen voor. Zo overtreffen planten - die hele ecosystemen van energie voorzien - de efficiëntie van elk zonnepaneel, hebben runderen complexe magen met micro-organismen die hen toelaten op gras te overleven, en omzeilen bacteriën steeds weer nieuwe antibiotica. De wetenschap die de verwondering over zoveel 'vernuft' vertaalt naar concrete wetenschappelijke vragen en experimenten is de biologie, de studie van het leven. Omdat alle levensvormen een gemeenschappelijke oorsprong delen, vertonen ze een opmerkelijke uniformiteit. Dat ze opgebouwd zijn uit één of meerdere cellen, DNA gebruiken als erfelijk materiaal en eenzelfde genetische code hanteren, zijn maar enkele voorbeelden die we onder de loep nemen. Vervolgens gaan we dieper in op de diversiteit van het leven: hoe passen organismen zich aan hun omgeving aan, tot welke verscheidenheid aan soorten leiden de evolutieprocessen, en hoe treden al die soorten met elkaar in interactie? Ten slotte beantwoorden we de vraag waarom de impact van de mens - eigenlijk slechts een jong twijgje aan de Stamboom van het Leven - zo ingrijpend is.

Though biogeography may be simply defined--the study of the geographic distributions of organisms--the subject itself is extraordinarily complex, involving a range of scientific disciplines and a bewildering diversity of approaches. For convenience, biogeographers have recognized two research traditions: ecological biogeography and historical biogeography. This book makes sense of the profound revolution that historical biogeography has undergone in the last two decades, and of the resulting confusion over its foundations, basic concepts, methods, and relationships to other disciplines of comparative biology. Using case studies, the authors explain and illustrate the fundamentals and the most frequently used methods of this discipline. They show the reader how to tell when a historical biogeographic approach is called for, how to decide what kind of data to collect, how to choose the best method for the problem at hand, how to perform the necessary calculations, how to choose and apply a computer program, and how to interpret results.

Sequenced biological macromolecules have revitalized systematic studies of evolutionary history. Molecular Systematics of Fishes is the first authoritative overview of the theory and application of these sequencing data to fishes. This volume explores the phylogeny of fishes at multiple taxonomic levels, uses methods of analysis of molecular data that apply both within and between fish populations, and employs molecule-based phylogenies to address broader questions of evolution. Targeted readers include ichthyologists, marine scientists, and all students, faculty, and researchers intere
