Preface
Since 1997, scientists of different disciplines who share a deep interest in evolutionary biology concepts, knowledge and application have held the Evolutionary Biology Meeting at Marseilles in order to discuss their research, exchange ideas and start collaboration. Lately scientists interested in the application joined the group. We start the book with the meeting report that gives a general idea of the epistemological posture of the meeting; this is followed by 22 articles. These articles are, to my mind, a selection of the most representative talks, which have been brought up during the 12th Evolutionary Biology Meeting at Marseilles. We decide to sort out the articles in several categories: evolutionary biology concepts and knowledge, concepts and knowledge modeling and concepts and knowledge application. The reader will note that evolutionary application transcend biology since two articles in the book show application of evolutionary biology concept to economy and astronomy announcing other field of applications. I would like to thank all the authors of the book, the meeting participants, the sponsor-CNRS, Universite´ de Provence, Conseil Ge´ne´ral 13, Ville de Marseille and GDR BIM. I also wish to thank the staff of Springer for their cooperation and more especially Andrea Schlitzberger for her considerateness. Last but not least I wish to thank the ‘‘Association pour l’Etude de l’Evolution Biologique’’ and the meeting coordinator Axelle Pontarotti whose ou
