Produktbeschreibung

New Horizons in Evolution is a compendium of the latest research, analyses, and theories of evolutionary biology. Chapters are collected from the international symposium held by the Board of Governors of the University of Haifa to honor Dr. Eviatar Nevo, founder and director of the Institute of Evolution.

This book includes material written by top global scientists. Such detailed summaries and recent advances include topics like genomics, epigenetics, evolutionary theory, and the evolution of cancer. This book analyzes evolutionary biology of animals, such as lizards and subterranean mammals. It also discusses agricultural evolution, specifically the vital wheat crop in various climates and locations. Each chapter contributes the most up-to-date knowledge of evolution's role in speciation, adaptation, and regulation.

New Horizons in Evolution is a valuable resource for researchers involved in evolution, evolutionary biology, and evolutionary theory. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in evolutionary biology courses will also find this useful due to the high expertise level and latest knowledge available through this resource.

• Examines the evolution of species in extreme conditions
• Discusses the role of evolution in medicine and cancer research
• Features the latest data and advances in evolution theory

Rezensionen

"This collection of 10 essays might be the most remarkable Festschrift any biologist is likely to encounter. The reason is that the collection honors Eviatar Nevo, an evolutionary biologist whose breadth and depth of superb empirical work is without equal. The volume does justice to Nevo's long, remarkable career by including contributions that span the gamut from the sensory systems of subterranean mammals to evolutionary medicine.

This is a magnificent volume honoring a unique career. Evolutionary biologists should not pass it up." --The Quarterly Review of Biology
