Book excerpt: The Arthur M. Sackler Colloquia of the National Academy of Sciences address scientific topics of broad and current interest, cutting across the boundaries of traditional disciplines. Each year, four or five such colloquia are scheduled, typically two days in length and international in scope. Colloquia are organized by a member of the Academy, often with the assistance of an organizing committee, and feature presentations by leading scientists in the field and discussions with a hundred or more researchers with an interest in the topic. Colloquia presentations are recorded and posted on the National Academy of Sciences Sackler colloquia website and published on CD-ROM. These Colloquia are made possible by a generous gift from Mrs. Jill Sackler, in memory of her husband, Arthur M. Sackler.

Download or read book Variation written by Benedikt Hallgrímsson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-05-04 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was based on the observation that there is variation between individuals within the same species. This fundamental observation is a central concept in evolutionary biology. However, variation is only rarely treated directly. It has remained peripheral to the study of mechanisms of evolutionary change. The explosion of knowledge in genetics, developmental biology, and the ongoing synthesis of evolutionary and developmental biology has made it possible for us to study the factors that limit, enhance, or structure variation at the level of an animals' physical appearance and behavior. Knowledge of the significance of variability is crucial to this emerging synthesis. Variation situates the role of variability within this broad framework, bringing variation back to the center of the evolutionary stage. Provides an overview of current thinking on variation in evolutionary biology, functional morphology, and evolutionary developmental biology Written by a team of leading scholars specializing on the study of variation Reviews of statistical analysis of variation by leading authorities Key chapters focus on the role of the study of phenotypic variation for evolutionary, developmental, and post-genomic biology

The measurement of correlation?Galton's function?Correlation between various organs in man, in local races of the shrimp, and in crabs?Comparison between primitive and civilised races of man? Correlation between morphological characters and the reproductive system?Genetic Selection in man?Especial fertility of type forms in certain plants?Evolution in the Peppered moth?Parallel variation?Importance of mathematical treatment of variation. All parts of an organism arc to a certain extent related to each other, so that when one part varies other parts vary simultaneously in a greater or less degree. That is to say, variations are correlated. The most marked and obvious correlation is that existing between homologous parts. The symmetry of the corresponding or homologous organs on the right and left sides of the body, which is present in most animals, represents a very close degree of correlation. But even in this case the correlation is not constant or complete. Thus the two arms and the two legs of a man resemble each other very closely indeed, but careful measurement shows that the resemblance is not absolute. Again, the arms, as a rule, vary in length more or less in the same proportion as the legs, but personal experience will probably recall instances to the contrary, in which the length of the limbs was quite disproportionate. Between the arms and the legs, therefore, the degree ofcorrelation is obviously less close than between arm and arm, or leg and leg. Still again, personal experience teaches us that there is correlation between even the length of the face and that of the limbs. Tall men as a rule have longer faces than short men; or, a more striking instance, greyhounds have long heads and long legs on the one hand, as compared w...
