This unique story offers an introductory conversation to genetics, embryology and evolution, taking us on a historical journey of biology through the ages. Using a series of dialogues between the Greek philosopher Democritus and his disciple Alkimus, we travel through time visiting eminent scientists throughout the centuries, from Lazzaro Spallanzani and Theodor Boveri to Francis Crick, Max Perutz and Christiane NUsslein-Volhard. We find ourselves at the intersection of competing theories in biology and witness the progression from the debunking the theory of spontaneous generation to the mapping of the genome. Attention is given not only to the great successes in the field but also to the equally important and exciting failures.
Originally published in Hungarian, The Story of Genetics, Development and Evolution provides a historical background to the life sciences, with complex scientific concepts stripped down and explained carefully for academics and anyone interested in going back to the roots and philosophies of scientific progress.

Описание: Presents a collection of articles which look at fragmented habitats, bringing together theoretical advances and empirical studies applying the metapopulation approach. This book integrates ecology with genetics and evolutionary biology, and illustrates how metapopulation concepts and models can be applied to answer questions about conservation.

Описание: By the end of the last century, it was known from microscopic studies that most cells contain small elongated bodies (mitochondria). It has recently been discovered that their true function is as complex organelles possessing inner and outer membranes and even their own DNA.
