Morphology, Shape and Phylogeny

Morphology, Shape and Phylogeny by Norman MacLeod, published by Taylor & Francis on February 7, 2002, is a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between the study of organismal shape and evolutionary relationships. This edition spans 318 pages and is presented in English, making it accessible to a wide audience of scientists and researchers interested in the fields of biology, zoology, and evolution.
In this book, MacLeod addresses the historical separation between biologists and mathematicians who analyze the form of organisms and those who investigate evolutionary connections through shared traits. By summarizing existing interdisciplinary research, the text aims to foster further dialogue and inquiry among these communities. Readers will find valuable insights into the methodologies and discussions that bridge the gap between morphology and phylogeny, enhancing their understanding of the evolutionary processes that shape life on Earth.
Official synopsis Publisher
Generally, biologists and mathematicians who study the shape and form of organisms have largely been working in isolation from those who work on evolutionary relationships through the analysis of common characteristics. Increasingly however, dialogue between the two communities is beginning to develop – but other than a handful of journal papers, there has been no formal, published discussion on this subject. This timely book summarises the interdisciplinary work that has taken place to date and will stimulate additional research into these topics. Any scientist working on evolutionary relationships will find this volume invaluable.
