- More about Development Strategies and Biodiversity: Darwinian Fitness and Evolution in the Anthropocene
Development is a complex process influenced by genes, maternal effects, and environmental circumstances, which can modulate life history trajectories and influence key traits. This book aims to synthesize and improve current knowledge of the mechanisms involved and how variation in early life conditions translates into Darwinian fitness outcomes, with a broad scientific approach targeting eco-evolutionary biologists, behavioral biologists, eco-physiologists, eco-toxicologists, epidemiologists, and biomedical scientists.
Format: Hardback
Length: 316 pages
Publication date: 16 February 2022
Publisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG
Development is a multifaceted and ever-evolving process that intricately intertwines the interplay of genes, maternal effects, and environmental factors. Extensive evidence spanning across plant and animal species has revealed that variations in developmental conditions have the power to shape life history trajectories and exert profound influence on essential traits, including growth, reproduction, and senescence. These effects extend beyond a single generation and can be inherited by future generations. This comprehensive book seeks to unite studies from the domains of evolutionary biology, global change biology, and biomedicine to synthesize and enhance our current understanding of the mechanisms at play and how variations in early life conditions translate into Darwinian fitness outcomes. By drawing upon examples of organisms' responses to the ongoing and forthcoming environmental challenges of the Anthropocene, this book adopts a novel approach to unravel the adaptive significance of early life effects. This book appeals to a wide range of scientific disciplines, including eco-evolutionary biologists, behavioral biologists, eco-physiologists, eco-toxicologists, as well as epidemiologists and biomedical scientists.
