商品描述
Animal evolution has always been at the core of Biology, but even today many fundamental questions remain open. The field of animal 'evo-devo' is leveraging recent technical and conceptual advances in development, paleontology, genomics and transcriptomics to propose radically different answers to traditional evolutionary controversies.
This book is divided into four parts, each of which approaches animal evolution from a different perspective. The first (chapters 1 and 2) investigates how new sources of evidence have changed conventional views of animal origins, while the second (chapters 3-7) addresses the connection between embryogenesis and evolution, and the genesis of cellular, tissue and morphological diversity. The third part (chapters 8 and 9) investigates how big data in molecular biology is transforming our understanding of the mechanisms governing morphological change in animals. In closing, the fourth part (chapters 10-12) explores new theoretical and conceptual approaches to animal evolution.
'Old questions and young approaches to animal evolution' offers a comprehensive and updated view of animal evolutionary biology that will serve both as a first step into this fascinating field for students and university educators, and as a review of complementary approaches for researchers.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
動物進化一直是生物學的核心，但即使在今天，許多基本問題仍然懸而未決。動物的「進化發展（evo-devo）」領域正在利用最近在發展學、古生物學、基因組學和轉錄組學方面的技術和概念進展，提出對傳統進化爭議的根本不同答案。
本書分為四個部分，每個部分從不同的角度探討動物進化。第一部分（第1章和第2章）研究了新的證據來源如何改變了對動物起源的傳統觀點，而第二部分（第3-7章）則探討了胚胎發生與進化之間的聯繫，以及細胞、組織和形態多樣性的產生。第三部分（第8和第9章）研究了分子生物學中的大數據如何改變我們對動物形態變化機制的理解。最後，第四部分（第10-12章）探討了動物進化的新理論和概念方法。
《舊問題與年輕方法的動物進化》提供了動物進化生物學的全面和更新的視角，將作為學生和大學教育者進入這一迷人領域的第一步，同時也為研究人員提供了補充方法的回顧。
作者簡介
José M. Martín-Durán is a European Research Council Starting Grant Fellow and Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London. He obtained his PhD in Genetics from the University of Barcelona, where he studied the embryonic development of planarian flatworms. After pursuing postdoctoral research at the Sars International Centre for Marine Molecular Biology, University of Bergen, he moved to Queen Mary University of London to establish a laboratory that combines his interests in developmental biology, animal evolution, and marine biodiversity. His lab applies genomic, epigenetic, and more classical developmental approaches to study the natural diversity in early embryogenesis found in spiralian lineages.
Bruno C. Vellutini is an EMBO Fellow and postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics. He obtained his MSc in Zoology from the University of São Paulo, and his PhD in Molecular and Computational Biology from the University of Bergen, where he investigated the evolution of larval forms in marine invertebrates. His research focuses on understanding how changes in embryogenesis are connected to the evolution of animal morphology. Currently, he is combining genetic and live-imaging techniques to reveal the mechanisms that govern tissue morphogenesis in the fruit fly embryo.

José M. Martín-Durán 是歐洲研究委員會的起始資助研究員及倫敦女王瑪莉大學的高級講師。他在巴塞隆納大學獲得遺傳學博士學位，研究平面蟲的胚胎發育。在卑爾根大學的薩爾斯國際海洋分子生物學中心進行博士後研究後，他移至倫敦女王瑪莉大學建立一個實驗室，結合他對發育生物學、動物進化和海洋生物多樣性的興趣。他的實驗室應用基因組學、表觀遺傳學以及更傳統的發育方法來研究螺旋類系統中早期胚胎發生的自然多樣性。
Bruno C. Vellutini 是EMBO研究員及馬克斯·普朗克分子細胞生物學與遺傳學研究所的博士後研究員。他在聖保羅大學獲得動物學碩士學位，並在卑爾根大學獲得分子與計算生物學博士學位，研究海洋無脊椎動物的幼體形態進化。他的研究重點在於理解胚胎發生的變化如何與動物形態的進化相關。目前，他結合遺傳學和活體成像技術，以揭示控制果蠅胚胎組織形態發生的機制。
