There are also problems with the current definitions or circumscriptions of key concepts such as gene, species, and homology, and even of whole disciplinary fields within the life sciences, e.g. developmental biology. These contrasting views are arguably a symptom of the need to revisit traditional, unchallenged partitions between the specialist disciplines within the life sciences. In the diversity of topics addressed and approaches to move beyond the current disciplinary organization, the five essays in this volume will hopefully stimulate further exploration towards an improved articulation of life sciences.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch and information: generalbicsscactive inferenceanchor conceptanchor disciplineattentionbiomorphicsbiosystematicsdevelopmentdevelopmental geneticsevo-devoevolutionevolutionary developmental biologyevolutionary extended synthesisflowergenerationhomologyland plant phylogenylanguagelife cyclememorymorphological misfitsn/anomadic conceptnomadic disciplinenumerical taxonomyorganizational modulephyllotaxisphylogeneticsplant structure ontologypragmaticsprocess philosophyreference framesresearch programsscale-free cognitionscientific perspectivismscientific pluralismselfspeciesstigmergytaxonomic pluralismstaxonomic theorytheory of developmenttypologyUtriculariaBiology, life sciencesResearch and information: generalMinelli Alessandroedt7718Minelli AlessandroothBOOK9910557403103321Renegotiating Disciplinary Fields in the Life Sciences3038518UNINA
