Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - With more than 1,400 species, bats are an incredibly diverse and successful group of mammals that can serve as model systems for many unique evolutionary adaptations. Flight has allowed them to master the sky, while echolocation enables them to navigate in the dark. Being small, secretive, nocturnal creatures has made bats a challenge to study, but over the past 50 years, innovative research has made it possible to dispel some of the mystery and myth surrounding them to give us a better understanding of the role these animals play in the ecosystem.The structure of the book is based on several broad themes across the biological sciences, including the evolution of bats, their ecology and behavior, and conservation of biodiversity. Within these themes are more specific topics on important aspects of bat research, such as morphology, molecular biology, echolocation, taxonomy, systematics, threats to bats, social structure, reproduction, movements, and feeding strategies.Given its scope, the book will appeal to the wider scientific community, environmental organizations, and government policymakers who are interested in the interdisciplinary aspects of biology and nature.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -South America was an insular continent for most ofthe Tertiary, but it has the highest speciesdiversity for many organismal groups. Since earlyexplorations, biologists have been asking why SouthAmerica has high biodiversity and how organisms gotthere during long periods of isolation. I addressthese questions of evolution using sheath-tailed bats(family Emballonuridae) as a study group. A molecularphylogeny was produced based on a phylogeneticanalysis of DNA sequences from unlinked loci from the4 components of genetic transmission found inmammals. Optimization of areas suggests that theancestor of New World emballonurids had its origin inAfrica. Divergence times were estimated with arelaxed clock approach and primary diversification inSouth America occurred during the Miocene. A study ofhistorical biogeography indicated that the ancestralarea was the Northern Amazon. Character mappingindicated a correlation of ear morphology withecholocation call design and foraging behaviour,which suggests a phylogenetic basis to the evolutionof these character systems. These results will be ofinterest to biologists researching systematicbiology, evolution, and biogeography. 144 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -South America was an insular continent for most of the Tertiary, but it has the highest species diversity for many organismal groups. Since early explorations, biologists have been asking why South America has high biodiversity and how organisms got there during long periods of isolation. I address these questions of evolution using sheath-tailed bats (family Emballonuridae) as a study group. A molecular phylogeny was produced based on a phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from unlinked loci from the 4 components of genetic transmission found in mammals. Optimization of areas suggests that the ancestor of New World emballonurids had its origin in Africa. Divergence times were estimated with a relaxed clock approach and primary diversification in South America occurred during the Miocene. A study of historical biogeography indicated that the ancestral area was the Northern Amazon. Character mapping indicated a correlation of ear morphology with echolocation call design and foraging behaviour, which suggests a phylogenetic basis to the evolution of these character systems. These results will be of interest to biologists researching systematic biology, evolution, and biogeography.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 144 pp. Englisch.…
