Abstract

What do biologists want? If, unlike their counterparts in physics, biologists are generally wary of a grand, overarching theory, at what kinds of explanation do biologists aim? How will we know when we have "made sense" of life? Such questions, Evelyn Fox Keller suggests, have no simple answers. Explanations in the biological sciences are typically provisional and partial, judged by criteria as heterogeneous as their subject matter. It is Keller's aim in this book to account for this epistemological diversity - particularly in the discipline of developmental biology.In particular, Keller asks, what counts as an "explanation" of biological development in individual organisms? Her inquiry ranges form physical and mathematical models to more familiar explanatory metaphors to the dramatic contributions of recent technological developments, especially in imaging, recombinant DNA, and computer modeling and simulations.A history of diverse and changing nature of biological explanation in a particularly charged field, "Making sense of life" draws our attention to the temporal, disciplinary and cultural components of what biologists mean, and what they understand, when they propose to explain life.

Abstract

Comment le spermatozoïde et l'œuf interagissent-ils pour former un nouvel organisme? Comment une seule cellule donne-t-elle naissance à tous les types cellulaires d'un organisme adulte? Comment les neurones arrivent-t-ils à établir leurs connexions avec les autres neurones et les tissus périphériques? Comment se forment les organes? Autant de questions qui montrent le rôle éminent de la biologie du développement car elle intègre toutes les facettes de la biologie et joue le rôle crucial d'établir une relation entre génotype et phénotype. On peut étudier ainsi le développement à partir de n'importe quel organisme et à n'importe quel niveau d'organisation, de la molécule à l'espèce. La nouvelle édition de Biologie du développement a été profondément remaniée pour intégrer les acquis de la révolution génétique. Elle comporte notamment trois chapitres d'introduction qui exposent les données de base sur l'analyse génétique et sur les membranes cellulaires. les chapitres consacrés à la génétique du développement précèdent ceux qui examinent la spécification des axes de l'organisme et la détermination des premiers types cellulaires. En outre, pour respecter les approches biologiques et moléculaires, certaines frontières séparant la biologie du développement et ses disciplines connexes, comme la biologie de l'évolution et la génétique, ont été abolies.

Abstract

L'objectif de l'auteure est de donner une vision synthétique des processus présidant au développement des animaux et l'état actuel des recherches dans ce domaine, sans omettre les conséquences qui en découlent aux plans médical, biotechnologique ou éthique. Quatre grandes parties: Les origines de la biologie du développement - Comment se construit un embryon - Sculpter le corps de l'adulte - Du laboratoire à la clinique. Les exemples choisis illustrent les étapes significatives dans les progrès accomplis.

Abstract

The field of developmental instability has generated a large amount of controversy recently, mostly because of fierce disagreement over the genetic basis of fluctuating asymmetry and its role in mate selection. This book is a timely and innovative synthesis of the discussion. With twenty four chapters by leading authorities, the book is an especially thorough and critical treatment of the genetic basis of fluctuating asymmetry, and of its role in animal communication, sexual selection, and plant and animal ecology and evolution. The book features an in-depth examination of the relationship between environmental stress and asymmetry, as well as a critical assessment of the value of asymmetry as a biomarker in ecotoxicology. Up-to-date information from disparate fields within the biological sciences is creatively integrated to examine the molecular and cellular origins of developmental instability and fluctuating asymmetry, and the link between asymmetry and Darwinian fitness. This comprehensive treatment also describes methodology for data analysis and optimization of experimental design, refocuses attention on key problems in the field and identifies new research directions.
