{"product_id":"evolution-of-sleep-patrick-mcnamara-9780521894975","title":"Evolution of Sleep: Phylogenetic and Functional Perspectives","description":"Research during the past two decades has produced major advances in understanding sleep within particular species. Simultaneously, molecular advances have made it possible to generate phylogenetic trees, while new analytical methods provide the tools to examine macroevolutionary change on these trees. These methods have recently been applied to questions concerning the evolution of distinctive sleep state characteristics and functions. This book synthesizes recent advances in our understanding of the evolutionary origins of sleep and its adaptive function, and it lays the groundwork for future evolutionary research by assessing sleep patterns in the major animal lineages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick McNamara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521894972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521894975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Patrick McNamara","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45933881721087,"sku":"9780521894975","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0471b850-f5bc-48d8-b909-f2ade911aa13.jpg?v=1721789803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evolution-of-sleep-patrick-mcnamara-9780521894975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
