In the second part, the phenomenon of macroevolution is examined with the help of real life-history case studies on the evolution of eukaryotic sex, the formation of anatomical form and body-plans, extinction and speciation events of marine invertebrates, hominin evolution and species conservation ethics..The book brings together leading experts, who explain pivotal concepts such as Punctuated Equilibria, Stasis, Developmental Constraints, Adaptive Radiations, Habitat Tracking, Turnovers, (Mass) Extinctions, Species Sorting, Major Transitions, Trends and Hierarchies – key premises that allow macroevolutionary epistemic frameworks to transcend microevolutionary theories thatfocus on genetic variation, selection, migration and fitness..Along the way, the contributing authors review ongoing debates and current scientific challenges; detail new and fascinating scientific tools and | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | 关键词 | adaptive radiation; evolutionary constraints; extinction; hierarchy theory; human evolution; natural sele | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-15045-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-35370-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-15045-1Series ISSN 2199-3068 Series E-ISSN 2199-3076 | issn_series | 2199-3068 | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 |
