Emphasizing key topics such as phenotypic plasticity and flexibility, and summarizing emerging areas such as ecological immunology, oxidative stress biology and others, \u003ci\u003eIntegrative Organismal Biology\u003c\/i\u003e pulls together information from diverse disciplines to provide a synthetic view of the role of the individual in evolution. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Beginning with 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 phenotypic plasticity, genetic and epigenetic variation, physiological and phenotypic variation, homeostasis, and gene and physiological regulatory networks. A concluding section interweaves these concepts through a series of case studies of life processes such as aging, reproduction, and immune defense.\u003c\/p\u003e Written and edited by leaders in the field, \u003ci\u003eIntegrative Organismal Biology\u003c\/i\u003e will be an important advanced textbook for students and researchers across a variety of subdisciplines of integrative biology.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eLynn B.
