It presents past and current perspectives on the subject and discusses the various situations of transition from rule to exception and vice versa. In doing so, the book fills a gap in the scientific literature and stimulates useful and valuable discussions among researchers working in biology worldwide. The chapters begin with a theoretical framework, followed by the main topic(s) or question(s), and a summary of previous work on the topic. Examples are discussed, with concluding remarks and suggestions for future research. A section with key concepts is included at the end of each chapter, allowing the reader to jump directly to the most important findings or observations. Each chapter is written to be used as a reference by graduate students and professionals from a variety of scientific disciplines (e.g. behavior, ecology, evolution, and systematics). 0aLife sciences. 0aBiologyxPhilosophy. 0aSciencexPhilosophy.14aLife Sciences.24aPhilosophy of Biology.24aPhilosophy of Science.1 aCalbacho-Rosa, Lucía S.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aOlivero, Paola A.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aOviedo-Diego, Mariela A.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1 aVrech, David E.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303155380608iPrinted edition:z978303155381340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-55382-0
