This volume consists of papers written by evolutionary, molecular
and organismal biologists, geneticists, ecologists, behavioural
ecologists, morphologists, mathematicians, theoreticians and
experimentalists, in honour of Professor Eviatar (Eibi) Nevo on the
occasion of his seventieth birthday. The contributors are only a
small subset of Eibi's many friends, collaborators and students
(not that one can distinguish these categories among Eibi's
colleagues). His widespread influence and activity, both in Israel
and more generally, as a leading evolutionary biologist is
indicated by his many co-authors on books and papers, and by his
many students integrated in teaching and research. This volume
presents some of the most recent dramatic results of molecular,
genomic, and organismal evolutionary processes. It represents
analyses, experiments, observations, reviews, discussions and
forecasts of evolutionary theory comprising both novel methods and
results, reanalyzed and reviewed data sets based on comparative,
experimental, and theoretical studies utilizing model organisms
across phylogeny, including bacteria, fungi, plants, animals and
humans. It elucidates the revolution in molecular biology that
ushered in our understanding of the evolutionary process over time
and space. The topics discussed include major problems of
evolutionary theory concerning origins, phylogeny, relative
importance of evolutionary forces, structure and function,
adaptation and speciation in space and time in changing and
stressful environments. A major emerging generalization is the
nonrandomness of genome structure highlighting the importance of
natural selection as a major organizing evolutionary force not
onlyat the phenotypic level, but most importantly at the
interlinked genotypic molecular level. The integration between the
molecular and organismal levels unifies life which is subjected to
the mechanism of natural selection as a major orienting
evolutionary force.
