Hidden order : how adaptation builds complexity / by Holland, John H.(John Henry),1929-2015.(CARDINAL)327942;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-175) and index."The father of the field of genetic algorithms, and one of the pioneers of the new science of complexity, Holland has been at the center of the emerging field of complex adaptive systems (cas) since its inception." "This landmark book offers for the first time a coherent synthesis of this nascent discipline, a summing up which carries on every page the weight of Holland's authority and distinctive point of view. This book emphasizes the search for general principles that govern cas behavior, enlarging on the intuitions of a broad spectrum of scientists, and it includes a computer model that applies to the full range of cas. Holland concludes with a description of what we might do to enhance our theoretical understanding of cas. He suggests ways in which theory can provide useful guidelines for attacking the perplexing cas problems that stretch our resources and place our world in jeopardy."--Jacket.

Animal behavior : an evolutionary approach / by Alcock, John,1942-(CARDINAL)328162;
Includes bibliographical references (page B-1-B-51) and index.An evolutionary approach to animal behavior -- The proximate causes of behavior : analyzing communication -- The development of behavior : the role of genes -- The development of behavior : the role of the environment -- The control of behavior : neural mechanisms -- The control of behavior : organizing mechanisms -- The evolution of communication : historical pathways -- The evolution of communication : adaptation in signalers and receivers -- Adaptive responses to predators -- Adaptive feeding behavior -- Choosing adaptively where to live -- Male and female reproductive tactics -- The evolution of mating systems -- The adaptive tactics of parents -- The adaptive value of social living -- The evolution of human behavior.New edition of a text which has been extensively rewritten to incorporate new evidence and topics, such as the origins of insect flight. Stresses the utility of evolutionary theory in unifying the different behavioral disciplines. Sixteen chapters are organized into two major sections, one dealing with the proximate mechanisms of behavior and the other with the ultimate or evolutionary causes. They emphasize the role of theory and hypothesis-testing in science and the tentative nature of scientific conclusions, and identify controversial and unresolved issues.
