概要 | The 25 essays of this collection were contributed mainly by American scientists, with representatives as well from the Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada, and Austria. Following Wagner's (ecology and e...olutionary biology, Yale U.) introduction, the topics include: the historical roots of the character concept, the genetic architecture of quantitative traits, homologies of process and modular elements of embryonic construction, homology and DNA sequencing data, character polarity and the rooting of cladograms, and mathematical structure of characters and modularity. Five essays on the evolutionary origin of characters conclude the volume. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Almost all evolutionary biologists, indeed all biologists, use particular features to study life. Evolutionary biologists use these characteristics or features in a particular way to unravel a tangled evolutionary history, to document the rate of evolutionary change, or as evidence of biodiversity. "Characters" are the "data" of evolutionary biology and they can be employed differently in research, providing both opportunities and limitations. is about characters, their use, how different sorts of characters are limited, and the appropriate methods for character analysis. Leading evolutionary biologists from around the world are contributors to this authoritative review of the "character concept." Because characters and the conception of characters are central to all studies of evolution, and because evolution is the central organizing principle of biology, this book will appeal to a wide cross-section of biologists.
