Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - For many decades, a controversial discussion has smouldered about the question: What is the unit of Darwinian selection Versatile answers have aroused among evolutionary biologists. Some attributed this role to the 'egoistic gene' unit only (e.g. Richard Dawkins), others paid additional attention to individual organisms or groups of individual organisms (e.g. David Sloan Wilson, Elliot Sober), or even species or clade selection (e.g. Stephen Jay Gould, Niles Eldredge), ultimately leading to hierarchical principles such as multi-level-selection. Attempts to address this question mathematically have been performed, however mainly using tools and techniques of the general mathematical field 'Analysis' (e.g. by stochastic or deterministic ordinary or partial differential equations). Contrary to all of those the author started a different approach, namely incorporating the mathematical field of 'Logic' into the scenary, constructing a formal evolutionary framework. Many new expressions such as 'necessity' and 'adaptive reaction' are introduced and require some practise from the reader. For this reason a multiplicity of (molecular) biological examples is given in order to deepen their usage and understanding. In the end, they will enable the reader to turn around the original bottom-up 'imperative' view into a much more abstract top-down 'declarative' perspective, where 'evolution' could be regarded as a generalized satisfiability problem of an arbitrary logical formula. This reprint of the original work from 2001 is dedicated to Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002).

Hardback. Condizione: New. 2019 ed. This textbook provides a comprehensive, reliable and practical guide to the dissection and parasitological examination of marine fish and cephalopods. The first part provides a general introduction, presenting basic information on: parasitology, ecology of the marine environment, history and methods of fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the ecology of marine fish and cephalopods and the impact of parasites on hosts. In turn, the second part provides general information on the morphology and anatomy of marine fish and cephalopods using the example of abundant morphotypes (including e.g. habitus photos of the body cavity and internal organs). The third part covers the relevant parasitic groups, their ecology (e.g. lifecycles, transmission), related diseases, and detection. The fourth part, a comprehensive methods section, provides essential protocols and applications of common dissection methods (for roundfish, flatfish and cephalopods) and stomach content analyses, as well as parasite preservation, preparation and molecular identification. Basic calculations of the most common infection and ecological parameters are also introduced. The book's fifth and final part provides information on health risks associated with fish and cephalopod consumption, as well as the prevention of human infection through the correct handling and processing of fish samples. The appendix provides e.g. blank sheets for recording fish dissections and parasitological examinations.
