The Early Evolution of Metazoa and the Significance of Problematic Taxa

1. Origin of metazoans: a phylogeny deducted from sequences of the 28S ribosomal RNA/ 2. Major factors in the rapidity and extent of the metazoan radiation during the Proterozoic-Phanerozoic transition/ 3. Divergence and persistence of highly ranked taxa/ 4.

Extant 'problematica' within or near the Metazoa/ 11. On the origin of the Bilateria: traditional views and recent altneratuve concepts/ 12. Problematic reef-building spongers/ 13. Beach and laboratory experiments with the jellyfish Aurelia, and remarks on some fossil 'medusoid' traces/ 14. Early Cambrian medusiform fossils from Chengjiang, Yannan, China/ 15. The enigma of conulariid affinities/ 16. Evolutionary affinities of conulariids/ 17. Functional morphology of the Class Helcionelloida nov., and the early evolution of the Molusca/ 18.

* One of the great enigmas of evolutionary biology has been how to treat animals of problematic systematic position. Many are known only as fossils, so this area has been of particular interest to palaeobiologists. This book represents a wide synthesis. It embraces not only general problems of animal classification of animals and new information on their molecular sequences that bear on their wider relationships, but also addresses more specific problems. *

The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells 4th ed.
貝殻のアルゴリズム的美 第４版
Springer-Verlag 2009.9
269 pp.(H)+ CD-ROM
ISBN 3-540-92141-9
8,800円
Contents
1. Shell patterns as dynamic systems/ 2. Pattern formation/ 3. Oscillation and travelling waves/ 4. Superposition of stable and periodic patterns/ 5. Meshwork of oblique lines and staggered dots/ 6. Branch initiation by global control/ 7. The big problem: two or more time-dependent patterns/ 8. Triangles/ 9. Parallel lines with tongues/ 10. Shell models in three dimensions/ 11. The computer program/ Appendix: Pattern formation in the development of higher-level organisms/ Index/
* The patterns on the shells of tropical sea snails are not only compellingly beautiful but also tell a tale of biological development. The decorative patterns are records of their own genesis, which follows laws like those of dune formation or the spread of a flu epidemic. Hans Meinhardt has analyzed the dynamical processes that form these patterns and retraced them faithfully in computer simulations. His book is exciting not only for the astonishing scientific knowledge it reveals but also for its fascinating pictures.
* Many of the simulations are supplied on the accompanying CD-ROM in HTML format. Thus, the highly dynamic behavior of the interactions on which shell patterning is based can be inspected like conventional websites with any browser, also on a Macintosh or Linux system. *

* This special publication Perspectives in Carbonate Geology is a collection of papers most of which were presented at a symposium to honor the 80th birthday of Bob Ginsburg at the meeting of Geological Society of America in Salt Lake City in 2005. The majority of the papers in this publication are connected with the study of modern carbonate sediments.
* Bob Ginsburg pioneered the concept of comparative sedimentology - that is using the modern to compare to and relate to and understand the ancient. These studies are concerned with Bob's areas of passion: coral reefs and sea-level; submarine cementation and formation of beach rock; surface sediments on Great Bahama Bank and other platforms; origin of ooids; coastal sediments; formation of stromatolites; impact of storms on sediments; and the formation of dolomite. The remainder of the papers apply the study of modern environments and sedimentary processes to ancient sediments. *
