Evolutionary Transitions to Multicellular Life Unterrichts und Medizinal Augelegenheiten modeling complex biological systems requires 9783110089400 modeling complex biological systems requires linking knowledge across many levels of science The main theme of the Symposium was the presentation and evaluation of the most up to date data on the structural and dynamic aspects of transport through membranes within the three main pathways: through carriers The book integrates our understanding of the factors and processes underlying the evolution of multicellularity by providing several complementary perspectives (both theoretical and experimental) and using examples from various lineages in which multicellularity evolved and data from various fields are providing new insights into the forces driving the several independent transitions to multicellular life as well as into the genetic and molecular basis for the evolution of this phenotype
