SOIL PRODUCTIVITY AND POLLUTION

Organized and edited by D.J. Greenwood, P.H. Nye and A. Walker

Agronomists have brought about spectacular benefits by improving cultural, fertilizer and pesticide practices, but there is still much uncertainty in forecasting the best practices for any given field, and indeed of predicting the fate of added chemicals in different situations. New approaches to the problem based on the development and application of quantitative theories and computer models were discussed at the Royal Society Discussion Meeting held in March 1990.

This book, which is a report of the meeting, includes case histories of some of the internationally important models that have been used for predicting productivity and deterioration of soils, and the biodegradation and persistence of unwanted chemicals and their movement into drainage water. There is also much discussion of relevant biological, physical and chemical processes.

The papers are written by experts from the U.S.A., France, The Netherlands and the U.K. They should prove invaluable to those interested in crop production, pollution and the environment.

THE EVOLUTION OF REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGIES

Organized and edited by P.H. Harvey, L. Partridge and T.R.E. Southwood

The great diversity of life histories seen in the living world needs explaining. Why should some species live for minutes yet be enormously fecund, whereas others like ourselves live for decades and produce very few offspring? Biologists recognize that such variation has evolved because the production of offspring is costly. What is more, there are many detectable trade-offs between components of fecundity, and between fecundity and mortality. For example, high fecundity early in life may be accompanied by increased mortality, thus preventing the production of offspring later in life. As this volume testifies, we are now at an exciting juncture in our search towards understanding the origin of life-history diversity through evolutionary trade-offs. It is becoming increasingly evident, through carefully controlled experimental and comparative studies, how reproductive trade-offs vary with lifestyle. This information, allied with the theoretical framework provided by optimality and population genetic models, furthers our understanding of how evolutionary history and genetically strategic decisions have moulded life-history diversity. In addition to understanding diversity, we are also beginning to understand, in evolutionary, functional and physiological terms, the processes that have resulted in such commonplace phenomena as senescence and weaning conflict. This volume shows how biology is now a truly integrated field in which ecologists, ethologists, physiologists, geneticists, evolutionary biologists, and comparative anatomists all have their parts to play.

FORTHCOMING ATTRACTIONS IN PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS SERIES B

Philosophical Transactions: series B publishes original papers in all aspects of the biological sciences, including clinical science. Papers up to 25 000 words long are welcomed, particularly those of an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary nature. Longer papers and reviews are also invited; authors intending to submit these should consult with the Editor at an early stage in preparation. Papers will be published rapidly (normally within six months of receipt).

The October issue of the journal will contain the papers listed below.

Wall, P.D. & Shortland, P. Long-range afferents in the rat spinal cord. I. Numbers, distances and conduction velocities.

Dahl, E. Crustacea Phyllopoda and Malacostraca: a reappraisal of cephalic and thoracic shield and fold systems and their evolutionary significance.

The Proceedings of the Royal Society's Discussion Meeting on foraging and diet in monkeys, apes and humans, held in May this year, will be published on November 29. This will be followed in December by an issue that will include papers on: Chorthippus (Orthoptera) hybrid zones (R.K. Butlin et al.); Nuclear DNA amounts in angiosperms (M.D. Bennett & J.B. Smith); and the superposition of ion channel currents (D.R. Fredkin &J.A. Rice).
