Sinossi
L'ambiente duro delle grotte - buio, umido, scarso di cibo - ospita una varietà di creature "bizzarre". I biologi, da parte loro, trattano spesso questi organismi delicati e incolori senza occhi, o almeno occhi notevolmente ridotti, come semplici stranezze con poco da raccontarci su un argomento così grande come l'evoluzione. Concentrandosi su un crostaceo che abita nelle caverne , Gammarus meno , questo libro mostra che, al contrario, la vita in grotta pu\xf2 fornire un prezioso modello empirico per lo studio dell\'evoluzione , in particolare adattamento .
Autori David Culver , Thomas Kane, e Daniel Fong maresciallo molti anni di ricerca approfondita sulla genetica, l' ecologia , la morfologia e la sistematica di Gammarus meno . Spiegano come questi fattori biologici sono stati modellati da vincoli fisici, come la struttura e lo sviluppo di grotte e terreni carsici, idrologia delle acque sotterranee e modelli di bacini di drenaggio. Il loro lavoro rivela i vantaggi delle grotte per lo studio della selezione naturale: gli habitat altamente semplificati trovati sottoterra fungono da laboratorio naturale per il biologo evoluzionista e le caratteristiche morfologiche distintive della fauna rupestre forniscono una ricchezza di dati sulla storia evolutiva e sulla selezione naturale.
Uno studio evolutivo dettagliato di un singolo organismo in un particolare ambiente, questo libro avanza Gammarus meno come paradigma per la colonizzazione e l'adattamento delle caverne e come caso di studio generale del ruolo della selezione naturale e dell'adattamento nell'evoluzione.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The harsh environment of caves - dark, damp, sparse of food - is home to a variety of 'bizarre' creatures. Biologists, for their part, often treat these delicate, colorless organisms having no eyes, or at least greatly reduced eyes, as mere oddities with little to tell us about a topic as grand as evolution. Focusing on one cave-dwelling crustacean, Gammarus minus, this book shows that, to the contrary, cave life can provide a valuable empirical model for the study of evolution, particularly adaptation. Authors David Culver, Thomas Kane, and Daniel Fong marshal many years of extensive research into the genetics, ecology, morphology, and systematics of Gammarus minus. They explain how these biological factors have been shaped by physical constraints, such as the structure and development of caves and karst terrains, groundwater hydrology, and drainage basin patterns. Their work reveals the advantages of caves for studying natural selection: the highly simplified habitats found underground serve as a natural laboratory for the evolutionary biologist, and the distinctive morphological features of cave fauna provide a wealth of data on evolutionary history and natural selection. A detailed evolutionary study of a single organism in a particular environment, this book advances Gammarus minus as a paradigm for cave colonization and adaptation, and as a general case study of the role of natural selection and adaptation in evolution. 236 pp. Englisch.
