"The book is widely considered a seminal work in the subject of evolutionary cognition. However, Deacons book was the first step, further steps have had to be taken. The proposed anthology is such an important associate.The contributions are written by a wide variety of scholars each with a unique view on evolutionary cognition and the questions raised by Terrence Deacon, emergence in evolution, the origin of language, the semiotic 'missing link', Peirce's semiotics in evolution and biology, biosemiotics, evolutionary cognition, Baldwinian evolution, the neuroscience of linguistic capacities as well as phylogeny of the homo species, primatology, embodied cognition and knowledge types."

ABSTRACTThe rhythm of life on Earth includes several strong themes contributed by Kingdom Fungi. So why are fungi ignored when theorists ponder the origin of life? Casting aside common theories that life originated in an oceanic primeval soup, in a deep, hot place, or even a warm little pond, this is a mycological perspective on the emergence of life on Earth. The author traces the crucial role played by the first biofilms - products of aerosols, storms, volcanic plumes and rainout from a turbulent atmosphere - which formed in volcanic caves 4 billion years ago. Moore describes how these biofilms contributed to the formation of the first prokaryotic cells, and later, unicellular stem eukaryotes, highlighting the role of the fungal grade of organisation in the evolution of higher organisms. Based on the latest research, this is a unique account of the origin of life and its evolutionary diversity to the present day. [This volume] proposes a new and unique view of the origin and evolution of life on Earth, weaving the evolution of fungi into the evolution of eukaryotes; explains the origins of all groups of higher organisms (eukaryotes), showing how the features of present-day fungi can account for the ancestral evolution of the eukaryote grade of evolution; emphasises twenty-first-century research in disciplines ranging from astronomy to zoology, providing readers with the most complete and contemporary treatment of the topic"

"ABSTRAKKomposisi kelompok mitra spesies burung di Way Canguk, Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan, Lampung, telah diteliti bulan Juni - Nopember 1997. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode ad-libitum untuk kelompok mitra spesies burung, dan metode point count untuk kepadatan jenis burung. Penelitian ini mencatat 119 spesies burung terdapat di lokasi penelitian, 111 spesies burung tercatat dengan mempergunakan metode point count. Terdapat 78 spesies burung yang bergabung dalam kelompok mitra spesies, 64% diantaranya adalah burung pemakan serangga. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa dengan bergabung dalam kelompok mitra spesies burung, anggota memperoleh beberapa manfaat, seperti meningkatnya efisiensi dalam pencarian pakan. Terdapat tiga tipe kelompok mitra spesies burung di lokasi penelitian, dan setiap tipe memiliki spesies inti yang berbeda. Kompetisi antara individu dari setiap jenis berkurang karena jumlah individu yang bergabung kecil, sedangkan kompetisi antara jenis berkurang dengan adanya perbedaan pada kelompok fungsional dan varian strata."
