Highlight

Comparative Social Evolution Edited by Dustin R. Rubenstein Columbia University, New York

and Patrick Abbot Vanderbilt University, Tennessee

Bringing together the principle taxonomic groups, from ants to primates, this volume provides a unique perspective on the evolution of cooperative group living. The chapters synthesize features of animal social life to foster the development of a framework for a common, trait-based approach towards social synthesis.

Contents: Part I. Invertebrates; Part II. Vertebrates.

‘This authoritative book will be an excellent resource for all students of social evolution, including practised hands and those yet to take the stage.

Covering all the major groups of social organisms in both the invertebrates and vertebrates, its expert authors systematically set out the social and associated traits of their favoured taxa.

A tight editorial structure ensures a uniformity of approach that readers, typically familiar with just one or a few groups but eager to broaden their outlook, will greatly appreciate. In their closing synthesis, the editors describe the book as a ‘starting point’ for the comparative social evolutionary studies of the future. It will surely help stimulate a renaissance in such studies, but the editors are too modest; they and the authors have already performed an admirable service to the discipline in bringing together such a rich synthesis of information and insight.’

The Domestic Dog Its Evolution, Behavior and Interactions with People

Second edition Edited by James Serpell University of Pennsylvania

Animal Behaviour

Illustrated by Priscilla Barrett

The ultimate book for anyone interested in domestic dogs, this new edition of a classic text includes seven new chapters covering topics such as behavioral modification and training, dog population management, molecular evidence for dog domestication, canine behavioral genetics, cognition, and the impact of free-roaming dogs on wildlife conservation.

Contents: Part I. Origins and Evolution; Part II. Behavior, Cognition and Training; Part III. Dog-Human Interactions; Part IV. Life on the Margins.

‘The first edition of this book, published more than twenty years ago, broke new ground. It was the prelude to an explosion of research in the field of domestic dog behaviour, which has seen the subject move from largely the fringes of academia to a central position that provides a unique opportunity to explore some fundamental biological questions.

This completely revised edition continues in the tradition of the original text by selecting world leading experts to provide current insights into a range of important topics while also making the reader excited for the research which must follow to address the unanswered questions. I therefore have no doubt that this edition, like the last, will inspire a whole new generation of canine scientists from across the academic disciplines.’

Play, Playfulness, Creativity and Innovation Patrick Bateson University of Cambridge

and Paul Martin Wolfson College, Cambridge

What role does playful behaviour take in animal and human development?

Unravelling the different meanings of ‘play’, this book focuses on playful and non-aggressive behaviour in both animals and humans. The authors emphasise its significance for development, before examining the importance of playfulness to creativity and, in turn, to innovation.

‘In this highly readable and thoughtprovoking book, Patrick Bateson and Paul Martin show how play helps animals to find novel solutions and sows the evolutionary seeds for human creativity.

They argue that being able to ‘break the rules’ in a protected environment, which is what play does, generates new ideas (creativity) and new ways of doing things (innovation). By looking at the conditions in which humans are at their most creative, they make a major contribution to what we might do to be even more creative than we are.’

Evolving Animals The Story of our Kingdom

Wallace Arthur National University of Ireland, Galway

Illustrated by Stephen Arthur

Covering all the main animal groups, from jellyfish to mammals, this book considers key questions about evolution. Its conversational, nontechnical style makes it an ideal text for beginning undergraduates and general readers. The chapters cover both evolutionary pattern (trees, relationships) and evolutionary process (mechanisms, including Darwinian natural selection).

‘Wallace Arthur, a renowned evolutionary biologist, has written another of his excellent and easily approachable books introducing concepts, ideas and evidence of evolution. This new book is written in an informal style that a non-biologist should be able to follow without difficulty. He covers animal evolution from its beginning in deep time, and explains current ideas simply … Highly recommended for schools and biology students of all levels as well as the general reader.’

Deep Homology?

Uncanny Similarities of Humans and Flies Uncovered by Evo-Devo

Lewis I. Held, Jr Texas Tech University

This book provides a comparison of the genetic circuits of Homo sapiens and Drosophila melanogaster and reveals the evidence for deep homology, from the field of evolutionary developmental biology. Individual body parts including the nervous system, limbs and heart are compared in chapters that also feature concept maps and encyclopaedic tables to aid learning.

‘The book is a great learning tool and valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of developmental genetics and evolutionary biology. The author, himself an expert in Drosophila development, gives an in depth overview of the research into how genes control the processes by which simple embryos turn into complex organisms. He draws out in a clear and concise manner the parallels that unite all animals in regard to developmental mechanisms and the underlying gene networks. The way it is conceived the book follows a novel and highly original approach, by directly drawing comparisons between known gene functions and mutant phenotypes in fruit flies and clinical syndromes caused by mutations in homologous genes in humans. As a result, Deep Homology? reaches beyond the basic science arena and will be a relevant and inspiring read for a broad readership interested in the biological underpinnings of human health and disease.’

Kostas Kampourakis Université de Genève

Presenting evolution as straightforward and intuitive, this book covers core concepts of evolution and clarifies both what evolution is about and why so many people find it difficult to understand. Targeted to undergraduates embarking on any natural science degree as well as anyone wanting a basic introduction to evolutionary biology.

‘This is not just another book about why an evolutionary perspective on life is scientific whereas a Creationist perspective is not. In this well-articulated and thought-provoking book, Kostas Kampourakis asks why so many people reject evolution, despite the evidence for it and its enormous explanatory power. Kampourakis addresses the question of the acceptance of evolution from a psychological point of view, convincingly demonstrating that it is a rather counter-intuitive idea: conceptual obstacles to understanding, and thus accepting, evolution are rooted in widespread intuitions related to teleology and essentialism, which generate unwarranted preconceptions about the nature of the world and life.

Kampourakis’ final suggestion is that one should try to understand evolutionary theory without worrying about its religious, metaphysical, or other implications.’

Primatology An Ape’s View of Human Evolution Peter Andrews Natural History Museum, London

Whilst many books have addressed human evolution and the human fossil record, very few have examined our fossil ape relatives. This volume synthesises genetic, ecological and anatomical data to develop a unique account of what we know about our last common ancestor and how they lived.

Contents: Part I. Apes – their Morphology and Behaviour; Part II. Environments and Palaeoenvironments; Part III. Review of Fossil Apes – Morphology and Environment; Part IV. Last Common Ancestor.

‘Peter Andrews draws on more than four decades of research and personal recollections in this engaging and thought-provoking review of how the evolution of apes informs us about human origins. Importantly, Andrews goes beyond the fossil evidence of the teeth and bones to reconstruct the paleobiology and paleoecology of our antecedents, and thus offers a unique perspective on the remarkable evolutionary events that ultimately gave rise to modern humans. This is an extraordinary tale worth telling, and there is no one better than Peter Andrews to tell it.’

Review of the series: ‘Truly groundbreaking … Through keen analysis and vivid research, the [State of the Apes] series considers the survival of the world’s ape species in light of both long-standing and newly emerging threats, such as mineral extraction, energy exploration, agricultural expansion and land conversion – forces that will continue to shape not only the future of wild apes, but also of all remaining blocks of wild habitat and the extraordinary biodiversity they contain. By examining the complexity of development forces across range states, [this series] offers an informed and realistic assessment of the prospects for ape conservation, as well as outlining the potential of policies that may spell the difference between destruction and survival of these extraordinary beings.’

The Mandrill A Case of Extreme Sexual Selection

Alan F. Dixson

Rutgers University, New Jersey

Reconstructing the paleobiology of fossil non-human primates, this book draws a detailed picture of ancient primate communities, including contemporary animals and plants. With information on how fossils are formed and their role in inferring evolutionary processes, it is a unique resource for undergraduate and graduate students interested in fossil primates.

Living in the remote forests of western central Africa, mandrills are notoriously elusive and have evaded scientific scrutiny for decades. Recent research, synthesised here for the first time, sheds light on mandrill behaviour, reproductive biology and evolution, and allows for explanation of its extreme sexual dimorphism.

Feral Animals in the American South An Evolutionary History

Abraham Gibson Consortium for History of Science, Technology, and Medicine, Pennsylvania

Operating within the context of a global history of feralization, this book focuses on providing a fresh perspective on both the American South and the human condition. It charts the social, cultural, and evolutionary consequences of domestication and feralization, while examining humans’ relationships with dogs, pigs, and horses in the American South.

‘Abraham Gibson’s Feral Animals in the American South: An Evolutionary History tells a fascinating story of animals in the American South and, as importantly, a fascinating story of humans – free and enslaved – in the American South. One comes away wiser and in many respects sadder about our relationships with animals and at least as much about our relationships with each other. This is a very important book that is relevant to many scholars in varying fields.’

Essential for all those involved in animal-based research, this fully updated third edition provides a comprehensive discussion of the origins of and advances in research using animals. It demonstrates the human and non-human welfare improvements made possible by animal experimentation, alongside the moral objections and alternatives to animal use in research.

‘Animal Experimentation: A Guide to the Issues provides a succinct, accessible, and balanced introduction to the controversy surrounding the use of animals in scientific research, product testing, and education. The latest edition brings the guide up-to-date on a host of developments with respect to legislation, alternative methods, and other topics.

The guide’s coverage of relevant issues is international in scope, so readers outside of the author’s home country (Australia) should not feel ignored. This introduction is especially suited to students planning to begin careers in the biological sciences, including as researchers, veterinarians, teachers, regulators, or administrators.’

Natural History Museum, London

Parasites (from viruses, bacteria and protists to arthropods and helminths) may constitute more than half of all livings species. Using the most recent molecular, phylogenetic and computational tools, Parasite Diversity and Diversification explores the latest advances in the processes explaining this considerable, yet cryptic, biodiversity.

Contents: Part I. Evolutionary Ecology of Parasite Diversity; Part II. The Evolutionary History of Parasite Diversity; Part III. Combining Ecology and Phylogenetics.

‘The volume is more than a set of papers on parasites: it will interest a wide range of researchers other than parasitologists, as its focus is the evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships between parasites and hosts and their diversification.’

Diving Physiology of Marine Mammals and Seabirds Paul J. Ponganis Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego

Analysing the diving behaviour of seabirds and marine mammals, this book reviews seventy-five years of literature in the field, with an emphasis on the relevance to human diving and medicine. An important resource for students and researchers, this text will stimulate further research into the behaviour and physiology of diving.

‘I see this as a highly recommended text with broad appeal. It provides a detailed account of the mechanisms that underpin the dive behaviours which are being uncovered with increasing resolution.

With the advent of miniaturized dive loggers, coupled with increasingly sophisticated physiological methods, we are entering an exciting phase in dive physiology research. Ponganis’ book provides a much-needed collation of what has been achieved thus far and I look forward to future editions that incorporate the work to follow.’
