Science as a Way of Knowing—Evolution: The Biology of Whole Organisms11

MARVALEE H. WAKE
Department of Zoology and Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California Berkeley, California 94720

Examples of current research of importance to the conceptual and informational bases of evolutionary biology in the areas of morphology, development, physiology, ecology, population biology, natural history, and systematics are discussed. A synthetic approach to problems that utilizes ideas and techniques from several areas of biology characterizes much current research, and it is providing new conceptual frameworks and new, testable hypotheses. Some of the possible problems with methods of presentation as we often teach in these areas of biology are considered.
