商品描述
Traditionally, intelligence is associated with the brain; until recently, our understanding of intelligence in plants was limited. However, there is a paradigm shift in the traditional perception: intelligence is now defined as how quickly and efficiently an organism adapts to its surroundings. Plants are good examples here, because they constantly respond and adapt to their surroundings. This book is a comprehensive study of the scientific literature on intelligent survival strategies of plants.
Features:
- Provides a scientific basis for the intelligent survival strategies by plants under the changing environment.
- Book content is substantiated with examples of intelligent behavior in plants.
- Comparative account of intelligent behavior in plants with that in animals is also discussed.
- Brief information about some of the scientists working in this field is included.
The book will serve as a reference book for undergraduate students interested in an introduction to the subject of plant intelligence. It will also open up a reservoir of information for post-graduate students, teachers, and researchers by providing insight into this new emerging concept of plant intelligence. The book discusses the theoretical and experimental aspects of mechanisms for understanding plant perception and signaling that further demonstrates purposeful behavior and the active decisions made by plants.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
傳統上，智慧與大腦相關；直到最近，我們對植物智慧的理解仍然有限。然而，對於傳統觀念來說，現在出現了一個範式轉變：智慧現在被定義為生物體適應其環境的速度和效率。植物在這方面是很好的例子，因為它們不斷地對周圍環境做出反應和適應。本書是對植物智能生存策略的科學文獻的綜合研究。
特色：
- 提供植物在變化環境下智能生存策略的科學依據。
- 書中內容以植物智能行為的例子為基礎。
- 也討論了植物與動物智能行為的比較。
- 包含了一些在此領域工作的科學家的簡要資訊。
本書將作為對植物智慧主題感興趣的本科生的參考書籍。它還將為研究生、教師和研究人員提供一個信息庫，深入了解這一新興的植物智慧概念。本書討論了理解植物感知和信號傳遞的機制的理論和實驗方面，進一步展示了植物的目的性行為和所做的主動決策。
