Cellular Processes in Segmentation (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Chipman, Ariel

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The evolution of segmentation is a central question in evolutionary developmental biology. Segmented body plans evolved several times in the history of life and contributed to the evolutionary success of these taxa. The book will prove an invaluable reference for students of evolutionary developmental biology at all levels.

Autorenporträt

Dr Ariel D. Chipman is Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution & Behavior of the Silberman Institute of Life Sciences at The Hebrew University, in Jerusalem. He is the author or co-author of dozens of peer reviewed scieitific journal articles. His research focuses upon (1)The evolution of developmental processes. Using comparative embryology as a tool for understanding evolutionary processes (2) Early stages in patterning the arthropod embryo and the evolution of the segmented body plan. (3) Evolution of the arthropod head and the processes differentiating head from trunk. (4) Genomics of novel model systems. (5) Historical biogeography of Israel, using the national invertebrate collection.
