Sommario/riassunto

Long ago, fish fins evolved into the limbs of land vertebrates and tetrapods. During this transition, some elements of the fin were carried over while new features developed. Lizard limbs, bird wings, and human arms and legs are therefore all evolutionary modifications of the original tetrapod limb. A comprehensive look at the current state of research on fin and limb evolution and development, this volume addresses a wide range of subjects-including growth, structure, maintenance, function, and regeneration. Divided into sections on evolution, development, and transformations, the book begins with a historical introduction to the study of fins and limbs and goes on to consider the evolution of limbs into wings as well as adaptations associated with specialized modes of life, such as digging and burrowing. Fins into Limbs also discusses occasions when evolution appears to have been reversed-in whales, for example, whose front limbs became flippers when they reverted to the water-as well as situations in which limbs are lost, such as in snakes. With contributions from world-renowned researchers, Fins into Limbs will be a font for further investigations in the changing field of evolutionary developmental biology.

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Computational Collective Intelligence, ICCCI 2021, held in September/October 2021. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 58 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 230 submissions. The papers are grouped in topical issues on knowledge engineering and semantic web; social networks and recommender systems; collective decision-making; cooperative strategies for decision making and optimization; data



mining and machine learning; computer vision techniques; natural language processing; Internet of Things: technologies and applications; Internet of Things and computational technologies for collective intelligence; computational intelligence for multimedia understanding.
