Jin, the mysterious boy from the other realm, says he was swapped with Kazamori at birth--a revelation that naturally throws her whole world into turmoil! Now Kazamori, who was just starting to feel comfortable in her own skin, must come to terms with what it truly means to be a changeling!
Ryuugahara High is run by an unconventional student council, known around school as 'The Big Four.' With student elections coming up, Ohki decides that not only does he want to run for student council president, but he wants his friends to become members of The Big Four as well! Can this band of misfits win a school-wide popularity contest?
TRUTHS AND TRIBULATIONS! Jin, the mysterious boy from the other realm, says he was swapped with Kazamori at birth—a revelation that naturally throws her whole world into turmoil! Now Kazamori, who was just starting to feel comfortable in her own skin, must come to terms with what it truly means to be a changeling!
The newest attendee of the Creativ Cluv isn't a human, elf, or dwarf--it's a robot maid. Her presence stirs up quite the ruckus, especially with the maid-loving Tanaka. But the reaction the robot gets out of him is nothing compared to his shock upon seeing Dowa-chan after she gets a makeover. Tanaka's not the only one in for a surprise, though: Kazamori's finally revealing the friendly underside of her tsundere-nature. Can Hanei handle the warm fuzzies when the elf asks her to sleep over?
This edited volume on the nematode model Pristionchus pacificus describes an integrative approach to evolutionary biology. It aims for a merger of evolutionary and comparative biology with mechanistic approaches based on genetics and molecular biology. Insight into the function of biological systems obtained from laboratory studies when complemented with ecology, natural variation and natural history of an organism, can provide detailed knowledge of the proximate and ultimate causations of species. Ralf J. Sommer developed P. pacificus as model system for integrative evolutionary biology with case studies in evo-devo and population genetics on La Réunion Island. Similarly, ecological interactions with scarab beetles revealed examples for the evolution of novelty at the morphological and behavioural level and their underlying molecular mechanisms. Contributors include Paul W. Sternberg, Ralf J. Sommer, Jagan Srinivasan, Christian Rödelsperger, Frank C. Schroeder, Robin M. Giblin-Davis, Natsumi Kanzaki, Matthias Herrmann, Angela McGaughran, Katy Morgan, Akira Ogawa, Federico D. Brown, Ray E. Hong, Robbie Rae, Amit Sinha, David Rudel, and Erik J. Ragsdale.
