"Integrative Organismal Biology" synthesizes current understanding
of the causes and consequences of individual variation at the
physiological, behavioral and organismal levels. Emphasizing key
topics such as phenotypic plasticity and flexibility, and
summarizing emerging areas such as ecological immunology, oxidative
stress biology and others, "Integrative Organismal Biology" pulls
together information across a multitude of disciplines to provide a
synthetic understanding of the role of the individual in evolution.
Beginning with grounding theory highlighting the role of the
individual in evolutionary and ecological processes, the book
covers theory and mechanism from both classic and modern
perspectives. Chapters explore concepts such as how genetic and
epigenetic variation becomes physiological and phenotypic
variation, homeostasis, gene regulatory networks, physiological
regulatory networks, and integrators. A concluding section
illustrates these concepts through a series of case studies of life
processes such as aging, reproduction, and immune defense.
Written and edited by leaders in the field who are actively
engaged in teaching and research, "Integrative Organismal Biology"
will be an important advanced textbook for students and researchers
across the numerous subdisciplines of integrative biology.
