Abstract

Simons uses the startle reflex as a revealing model for covering how evolved neurophysiology shapes personal experience, patterns of recurrence in actions, and the systems of meaning people collectively create and transmit. Using diverse sources, Simons observes how biology is expressed in culture.

Abstract

The Australian vegetation is the end result of a remarkable history of climate change, latitudinal change, continental isolation, soil evolution, interaction with an evolving fauna, fire and most recently human impact. This book presents a detailed synopsis of the critical events that led to the evolution of the unique Australian flora and the wide variety of vegetational types contained within it. The first part of the book details the past continental relationships of Australia, its palaeoclimate, fauna and the evolution of its landforms since the rise to dominance of the angiosperms at the beginning of the Cretaceous period. A detailed summary of the palaeobotanical record is then presented. The palynological record gives an overview of the vegetation and the distribution of important taxa within it, while the complementary macrofossil record is used to trace the evolution of critical taxa.

This book will interest graduate students and researchers interested in the evolution of the flora of this fascinating continent.

Abstract

" (...) quatre volumes consacrés à la Flore des plantes vasculaires des régions nordiques du Québec et du Labrador, du 54e parallèle nord jusqu'au détroit d'Hudson, depuis la baie de James et la baie d'Hudson, à l'ouest, jusqu'à la mer du Labrador, à l'est. L'ouvrage est le fruit d'une collaboration de longue durée entre plusieurs botanistes du Québec. Il rassemble des connaissances et des données inédites sur les plantes nordiques des milieux boréaux, subarctiques et arctiques. (...) On présente également une clé d'identification de toutes les familles de plantes poussant dans cette vaste région nordique. Les caractéristiques morphologiques des taxons appartenant à 32 familles différentes sont décrites, allant des lycopodes aux joncs, en passant par les fougères, les conifères, les potamots et les orchidées. La description botanique de chaque taxon est accompagnée de photographies des plants et des organes présentant des caractères diagnostiques, d'une carte de répartition et d'un commentaire sur l'écologie et l'habitat de chacun d'eux. Voici un ouvrage qui servira de référence aux chercheurs et aux étudiants intéressés par les sciences naturelles, aux professionnels de l'environnement et au public averti qui s'intéressent au patrimoine végétal du Québec et du Labrador.

Abstract

The papers included in this Special Issue address a variety of important aspects of Genetics, Genomics and Biotechnology of Plant Cytoplasmic Organelles, including new advances in the sequencing of both mitochondria and chloroplasts’ genomes using Next-Generation Sequencing technology in plant species and algae including important crop and tree species, in vitro culture protocol, and identification of a core module of genes involved in plastid development. In particular, the published studies focus on the description of adaptive evolution, elucidate mitochondrial mRNA processing, highlight the effect of domestication process on plastome variability and report the development of molecular markers. A meta-analysis of recently published genome-wide expression studies allowed the identification of novel nuclear genes, involved in the complex and still unrevealed mechanisms at the basis of communication between chloroplast and nucleus (retrograde signalling) during plastid development (biogenic control). Finally, an optimized regeneration protocol useful in plastid transformation of recalcitrant species, such as sugarcane, has been reported.

Abstract

This Special Issue brings together some interconnected topics related to fungi and plants such as biodiversity, taxonomy, conservation, molecular phylogeny, ecology, and plant–fungal interactions. Additionally, some applied aspects are covered, such as phytoremediation, the improvement of spinach growth by biochar and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, bio-friendly solutions for waste reduction, the accumulation of rare-earth elements by wild edible mushrooms, etc.
