Here are the recent investigations of several distinguished biologists originally presented at the Fourteenth Symposium of the Society for the Study of Development and Growth. New tools and methods are used as they examine a wide range of cellular activities at various levels of plant and animal life. Originally published in 1956. The Princeton L

Professor Bonner has rewritten more than half of this standard treatise to take account of the great amount of recent research on the cellular slime molds. He has included a larger selection of material, more figures and new plates. The bibliography has been greatly enlarged. Originally published in 1967. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the lat

Life is a chancy proposition: from the movement of molecules to the age at which we die, chance plays a key role in the natural world. This book helps readers to apply the probability theory needed to make sense of chance events - using examples from ocean waves to spiderwebs, in fields ranging from molecular mechanics to evolution.

Published in 1859, "The Origin of Species" challenged the belief in the fixity of species and argued that species can adapt to their environment and develop accordingly. This book explores how Darwin came to these conclusions and includes biographies of influential figures, primary source letters and selections from "The Origin of Species".

Engaging with contemporary renewals of existentialism as "coexistentialism" and "ecological existentialism," this book extends existentialist concerns for human existence to include the unique differences and strange possibilities of all humans and nonhumans intimately intertwined in the emergency conditions of ecological coexistence.

Fish travel in schools, birds migrate in flocks, honeybees swarm, and ants build trails. How and why do these collective behaviors occur Exploring how coordinated group patterns emerge from individual interactions, this work reveals why animals produce group behaviors and examines their evolution across a range of species.

Through theoretical synthesis, this work shows that the key biotic drivers of community and ecosystem properties involve linkages between aboveground and belowground food webs, biotic interaction, the spatial and temporal dynamics of component organisms, and, the ecophysiological traits of those organisms that emerge as ecological drivers.

Emphasizes the role of competition at levels above single species populations, and describes how competition, by way of the niche concept, determines the structure of communities. This work draws most examples from eleven North and South American bird communities, although the concepts and methodology are far more general.
