Titre(s) : Homology [Texte électronique] : the hierarchical basis of comparative biology / edited by Brian K. Hall
Publication : San Diego : Academic Press, cop. 1994
Description matérielle : 1 online resource (xvi, 483 pages)
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index. - Print version record.
Homology, the similarity between organisms that is due to common ancestry, is the
central concept of all comparative biology. However, the application of this concept
varies depending on the data being examined. This volume represents a state-of-the-art
treatment of the different applications of this unifying concept. Chapters deal with
homology on all levels, from molecules to behavior, and are authored by leading contributors
to systematics, natural history, and evolutionary, developmental, and comparative
biology. Special features include: * Commemoration of the 150th anniverary of Sir
Richard Owen's seminal paper distinguishing homology from analogy * Contributors who
are renowned leaders in compative biology * Coverage that is both comprehensive and
interdisciplinary
