Couverture rigide. Condition: Comme neuf. Paris 2011. 1 Volume/1. -- as New/Comme Neuf -- Hardback ( 27,5 x 22 cm )( 926 gr) -------- 200 pages. Many colors illustrations, graphics. ********************** Back cover: "". Among vertebrates, the evolutionary transition from an aquatic or amphibious to a fully terrestrial life seems to have occurred potentially more than once within the clade. These events probably occurred in the Carboniferous. New selective pressures faced by the first amphibious or terrestrial vertebrates due to environmental constraints in their new environments generated drastic changes in locomotor structures, performances and stratégies in vertebrates. To explain "how vertebrates moved onto land", this volume présents a comparative investigation of locomotion, from structure to motor control, in fossil and living groups. The present volume provides an up-to-date integrative study on these, based on morphology, physiology, palaeontology, biomechanics, behavioral ecology, and neurobiology. The first paper shows how the hypotheses about transition changed through time. The two following papers show how our knowledge of locomotor structures of vertebrates suggests a possible scenario explaining this evolutionary transition. However, locomotor performance and motor control in extinct taxa can be inferred only from extensive analysis of locomotor modes (i.e., walking, trotting, running, jumping, hopping) in recent organisms relevant to the evolutionary transition from water to land. In three other papers, locomotor performances are studied through comparative approaches in fully aquatic vertebrates, in vertebrates transitorily inhabiting terrestrial environments, and in vertebrates which have definitively passed through the transition to permanently terrestrial occupation. The authors of the volume have complementary research backgrounds. Vincent Bels and Jean-Pierre Gasc are Professor and Emeritus Professor in Functional Morphology at the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle of Paris (France). Michel Laurin and Marc Jamon are Director of Research at the CNRS, and Sabine Renous is a former Director of Research at the CNRS ; their specialities are, respectively, Palaeontology, Neurobiology and Functional Morphology. John Davenport is Emeritus Professor of Zoology at the University of College Cork (Ireland) and Adrià Casinos is Professor of Zoology at the University of Barcelona (Spain); they are mainly active in biomechanical research."" *********************.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Key features:Presents a contemporary snapshot of the mechanisms underlying the evolution and adaptation of behaviorExplores how genetics, epigenetics, development, and environment shape behavior Discusses a broad range of behavioral repertoires and responses, including those related to thermoregulatory, foraging, predatory, displaying, social and escape strategies. Examines physiological and sensory mechanismsCovers the effects of various aspects of global change on behavior, with chapters that focus on the impacts of climate change on hydroregulatory behavior and behavioral responses to the effects of habitat alteration resulting from human-mediated change and colonization by invasive species.Lizards serve as focal organisms for many of biological questions related to evolution, ecology, physiology, and morphology. They are studied at multiple spatial and temporal scales, from the individual to the community level. This book, authored by expert contributors from around the world, explores behaviors underlying the evolution and adaptation of these organisms. It covers conceptual, empirical, and methodological approaches to the understanding of the role that natural and sexual selection play in molding the behavioral traits of lizards. This thorough, illustrated reference should stimulate discussion of the conceptual and methodological approaches for studying the behavioral traits of these fascinating and highly diverse vertebrates.…
