Adult Neurogenesis: Beyond Rats and Mice
Researchers working on adult neurogenesis have focused largely on inbred laboratory rodents. While this provides a strong advantage of restricting genetic variation in the group, it also narrows our perspective on adult neurogenesis as a biological phenomenon. Many unsolved issues and open questions cannot be resolved without the contribution of comparative studies spanning through widely different species: how did adult neurogenesis evolve, what is the link between adult neurogenesis and brain complexity, how do adult neurogenesis and animal behavior influence each other, how does adult neurogenesis contribute to brain plasticity, cognition and, possibly, repair, and how do experimental conditions affect adult neurogenesis. The main message from the comparative approach to adult neurogenesis is that the relative exclusive focus on laboratory rodents can result in a bias on how we think about this biological process.
Evolution der Ethik
Konflikte im moralischen Urteil gibt es zwischen Moralphilosophien, zwischen Kulturen, Personen und selbst innerhalb eines einzelnen Bewusstseins. Die moderne Forschung aus verschiedensten Fachbereichen zeigt, dass unser moralischer Sinn dabei offenbar keiner einheitlichen Logik folgt. Menschen unterscheiden ihre Beziehungen gemäß dreier Kategorien: "Interaktion", "Identität" und "Intimität". Jede einzelne lässt sich als eine evolutionäre Anpassung verstehen. Die Meta-Kategorie "Universalität" entsteht dagegen wohl nur unter günstigen Bedingungen und als ein evolutionäres Nebenprodukt. Urteile darüber "was man tun soll" und "was man nicht tun darf" erweisen sich in diesem Kontext a...
African Mole-Rats
This volume, first published in 2000, explores the range of social systems in this fascinating group to understand how complex social systems evolved.
The Coronavirus Crisis and Challenges to Social Development
This book is a novel contribution to academic discourses on the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis and how it has impacted societies globally. It proffers an overview on the social development and political measures, from both the Global North and Global South, to prevent COVID-19's spread. It illuminates major social, political and economic challenges that already existed in different contexts and which are also currently being amplified by COVID-19. Curiously, this global pandemic has opened spaces for different actors, across the globe, to begin to fundamentally question and challenge the hegemony of the Global North, which sometimes is evident in social work. Linked to the foregoing and while...
Subterranean Rodents
Subterranean Rodents presents achievements from recent years of research on these rodents, divided into five sections: ecophysiology; sensory ecology; life histories, behavioural ecology and demography; environmental and economical impact; molecular ecology and evolution. It is a must for all researchers working in this field and will be of interest to zoologists, physiologists, morphologists, ecologists, and evolutionary biologists.
