- Book 6 of 15: Evolutionary Cell Biology
The evolution of animal diversity is strongly affected by the origin of novel cell and tissue types and their interactions with each other. Understanding the evolution of cell types will shed light on the evolution of novel structures, and in turn highlight how animals diversified. Several cell types may also have been lost as animals simplified – for example did sponges have nerves and lose them? This book reveals the interplay between gains and losses and provides readers with a better grasp of the evolutionary history of cell types. In addition, the book illustrates how new cell types allow a better understanding permitting the discrimination between convergence and homology.

About the Author
Andreas Hejnol is Professor and research group leader of “Comparative
Developmental Biology” at the Department of Biological Sciences (BIO) in Bergen,
Norway. After earning his Ph.D. in Comparative Zoology from the Free University
Berlin, Germany in 2002, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of
Ralf Schnabel in Braunschweig and at the Kewalo Marine Laboratory in the lab
of Mark Q. Martindale in Hawaii. He led a research group at the Sars Centre from
2009-2019. His research aims to understand the evolutionary origin and diversification
of animal body plans, cell types, and organ systems. He is an ERC Consolidator
Grant holder and received for his achievements in Evolutionary Developmental
Biology and Comparative Zoology the prestigious Alexander O. Kovalevsky Medal
from the St. Petersburg Society for Naturalists in 2018.
Sally P. Leys is Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University
of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of
Victoria under George Mackie in 1996, for which she received the Canadian Society
of Zoologists Cameron Award 1997. She held a Commander C Bellairs Postdoctoral
Fellowship from McGill University for postdoctoral research in Barbados (1997)
and then won an NSERC PDF which she took to the University Aix Marseille,
France (1998) and later to the University of Queensland, Australia (1998-2000). She
won an NSERC Women’s University Research Award in 2000 and was Assistant
Professor (Limited Term) at the University of Victoria, British Columbia. In 2002,
she was awarded a Canada Research Chair Tier II at the University of Alberta in
“Evolutionary and Developmental Biology.” Her research interests broadly concern
understanding the origin of multicellularity in metazoans and more specifically the
cellular and molecular basis of coordination in non-bilaterian animals, sponges,
ctenophores, placozoans, and cnidarians.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
