Heads, Jaws, and Muscles de Janine M. Ziermann

Heads, Jaws, and Muscles: Fascinating Life Sciences

Editat de Janine M. Ziermann, Raul E. Diaz Jr, Rui Diogo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 feb 2019

Ne-a atras atenția modul în care lucrarea Heads, Jaws, and Muscles reușește să sintetizeze date complexe de embriologie și paleontologie într-o structură logică, începând cu analiza originii mușchilor cardiofaringieni la cordate și culminând cu evoluția miologiei faciale la om. Această primă ediție, publicată de Springer, propune o abordare integrativă a capului vertebratelor — cea mai complexă parte a corpului animal — analizând cum feedback-ul senzorial și neural a modelat sistemul musculo-scheletic, în special în contextul inovației evolutive reprezentate de apariția fălcilor.

Structura volumului este riguros organizată pe grupuri taxonomice, oferind o perspectivă clară asupra tranziției de la mediul acvatic la cel terestru. Apreciem includerea datelor despre taxoni fosili, precum dinozaurii, care oferă contextul necesar pentru a înțelege diversificarea craniului. Lucrarea extinde cadrul propus de Muscles of Vertebrates cu date noi din cercetări recente de laborator și observații comparative extinse asupra lepidosaurilor și arhozaurilor. În contextul operei editorului Rui Diogo, această carte completează cercetările sale anterioare din Muscular and Skeletal Anomalies in Human Trisomy in an Evo-Devo Context, mutând accentul de la patologia umană către o perspectivă macro-evolutivă mult mai vastă.

Comparativ cu Feeding in Vertebrates, care se concentrează pe comportamentul trofic, Heads, Jaws, and Muscles pune accent pe omologiile structurale și pe conservarea tiparelor de dezvoltare embrionară. Este un instrument esențial pentru înțelegerea modului în care organele senzoriale majore s-au dezvoltat în strânsă asociație cu țesuturile înconjurătoare pentru a crea o unitate funcțională integrată. Textul echilibrează rigoarea științifică cu o prezentare accesibilă, fiind o referință solidă pentru curriculumul de biologie evolutivă și anatomie comparată.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această lucrare studenților și cercetătorilor în biologie care doresc să înțeleagă mecanismele evolutive din spatele celei mai complexe structuri anatomice: capul vertebratelor. Cititorul câștigă o viziune unitară asupra tranziției de la pești la tetrapode, susținută de studii de caz pe grupuri diverse, de la țestoase la primate. Este o resursă indispensabilă pentru cei care studiază „evo-devo” și doresc să exploreze legătura dintre formă, funcție și adaptare ecologică.

Despre autor

Rui Diogo este un cercetător recunoscut pentru contribuțiile sale în domeniul anatomiei comparate și al biologiei evolutive a dezvoltării (evo-devo). Expertiza sa se concentrează pe evoluția sistemului muscular și scheletic, fiind autorul unor lucrări de referință precum Muscles of Chordates. Janine M. Ziermann și Raul E. Diaz Jr completează echipa editorială cu expertiză în morfologie și dezvoltare embrionară. Împreună, acești specialiști au coordonat numeroase proiecte care investighează anomaliile musculare și evoluția feței umane, aducând o perspectivă modernă asupra modului în care structurile craniene s-au diversificat de-a lungul milioanelor de ani.

Descriere scurtă

The vertebrate head is the most complex part of the animal body and its diversity in nature reflects a variety of life styles, feeding modes, and ecological adaptations. This book will take you on a journey to discover the origin and diversification of the head, which evolved from a seemingly headless chordate ancestor. Despite their structural diversity, heads develop in a highly conserved fashion in embryos. Major sensory organs like the eyes, ears, nose, and brain develop in close association with surrounding tissues such as bones, cartilages, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. Ultimately, this integrated unit of tissues gives rise to the complex functionality of the musculoskeletal system as a result of sensory and neural feedback, most notably in the use of the vertebrate jaws, a major vertebrate innovation only lacking in hagfishes and lampreys. The cranium subsequently further diversified during the major transition from fishes living in an aquatic environment to tetrapodsliving mostly on land. In this book, experts will join forces to integrate, for the first time, state-of-the-art knowledge on the anatomy, development, function, diversity, and evolution of the head and jaws and their muscles within all major groups of extant vertebrates. Considerations about and comparisons with fossil taxa, including emblematic groups such as the dinosaurs, are also provided in this landmark book, which will be a leading reference for many years to come.

Recenzii

“The clear sound scientific data and the expertise of the authors make this book surprisingly amusing, considering that many complex scientific issues are considered here. As this book comfortably rides between popularization and science, it is appropriate not only for scientist working in the field, but also for graduate and postgraduate students seeking to improve basic knowledge on the issues.” (Virginia Abdala, Mastozoología Neotropical, Vol. 26 (1), 2019)

“This edited volume explores the anatomy, development, function, and evolution of the head, skeleton, and musculature of chordates. … it is an excellent, up-to-date reference and resource for advanced students and professional scholars of vertebrate anatomy and paleontology. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students and researchers.” (T. Harrison, Choice, Vol. 56 (12), August, 2019)

Notă biografică

Janine Ziermann is an Assistant Professor at the Howard University College of Medicine in Washington, DC. She received her PhD in Germany studying the evolution and development of head muscles in larval amphibians. This was followed by a postdoc in the Netherlands and one in the USA to further study vertebrates. Her research focuses on the evolution and development of the cardiopharyngeal field, a field that gives rise to head, neck, and heart musculature. Additionally, she aims to use the knowledge from her research to understand the pathology of congenital defects, which often affect both head and heart structures. She won several awards, including the ‘American Association of Anatomists (AAA) and the Keith and Marion Moore Young Anatomist’s Publication Award’ (YAPA). Furthermore, she single-authored or co-authored more than 30 papers in top journals such as Nature, Biological Reviews, books, book chapters, and commentaries. 

Raul E.Diaz, Jr. is an Assistant Professor at Southeastern Louisiana University and a Research Associate at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. He received his BS from the University of California at Berkeley and his MA from the University of Kansas where he studied frog skeletal development through metamorphosis. His PhD was completed through the University of Kansas Medical Center though his research was conducted at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research where he developed the veiled chameleon as a useful model for studying squamates reptile embryonic development. His research has meandered through his academic career from tropical field biology and systematics to anatomy and cell biology, development and genomics of reptiles and amphibians and now combines all these disciplines (as well as modern techniques in microscopy and imaging) to bridge the disciplines of comparative morphology, development and biomedical research.

Rui Diogo, Associate Professor at the Howard University College of Medicine, was one of the youngest researchers to be nominated as Fellow of the American Association of Anatomists, and won several prestigious awards, being the only researcher selected for first/second places for best article of the year in the top anatomical journal, two times in just three years (2013/2015). He is single-author or co-author of more than 100 papers in top journals such as Nature, and of numerous book chapters. Furthermore, he is the co-editor of five books and the sole or first author of thirteen books covering subjects as diverse as fish evolution, chordate development, human medicine and pathology, and the links between evolution and behavioral ecology. One of these books was adopted at medical schools worldwide, "Learning and understanding human anatomy and pathology: an evolutionary and developmental guide for medical students", and another one has been often listed as one of the best ten books on evolutionarybiology in 2017, "Evolution driven by organismal behavior: a unifying view of life, function, form, mismatches, and trends".
