Behavioral Ecology and Conservation Biology
ISBN: 9780195104899 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In just the last few years, behavioral ecologists have begun to address issues in conservation biology. This volume is the first attempt to link these disciplines formally. Here leading researchers explore current topics in conservation biology and discuss how behavioral ecology can contribute to a greater understanding of conservation problems and conservation intervention programs. In each chapter, the authors identify a conservation issue, review the ways it has been addressed, review behavioral ecological data related to it, including their own, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of...

Avian Growth and Development: Evolution Within the Altricial-Precocial Spectrum
ISBN: 9780195106084 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the first re-appraisal in 50 years of concepts of development made in birds. This book is a case study in evolutionary diversification of life histories. Although birds have a rather uniform body plan and physiology, they exhibit marked variation in development type, parental care, and rate of growth. Altricial birds are fully dependent on their parents for warmth and nutrition and begin posthatching life in a more or less embryonic condition. At the other extreme, such superprecocial species as the megapodes are independent of all parental care from hatching, and the neonate, able to...

Receptors: Models for Binding, Trafficking, and Signaling
ISBN: 9780195106633 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Receptors: Models for Binding, Trafficking, and Signaling bridges the gap between chemical engineering and cell biology by lucidly and practically demonstrating how a mathematical modeling approach combined with quantitative experiments can provide enhanced understanding of cell phenomena involving receptor/ligand interactions. In stressing the need for a quantitative understanding of how receptor-mediated cell functions depend on receptor and ligand properties, the book offers comprehensive treatments of both basic and state-of-the-art model frameworks that span the entire spectrum...

Endless Forms: Species and Speciation
ISBN: 9780195109016 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Speciation is one of the great themes of evolutionary biology. It is the process through which new species are born and diversity generated. Yet for many years our understanding of the process consisted of little more than a perception that if populations are isolated geographically, they will diverge genetically and may come to form new species. This situation began to change in the 1960s as an increasing number of biologists challenged the exclusivity of allopatric speciation and began to probe more deeply into the actual process by which divergence occurs and reproductive isolation is...

Tropical Forest Conservation
ISBN: 9780195109962 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Attempts to halt the destruction of rain forests and other natural habitats in the tropics have met with little success. In particular, national parks, like those found in wealthy nations, have proven difficult to establish in Africa, Asia, and South and Central America. More often than not, people inhabiting areas designated for protection resist being told by outsiders that they must change how and where they live. Alternative approaches, frequently embodied in integrated conservation and development projects (ICDPs), are now being pursued. The goal is to address local communities' desires...

The Avian Brood Parasites: Deception at the Nest
ISBN: 9780195110425 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The evolutionary, ecological and behavioral questions posed by obligate brood parasites are among the most intriguing of all contemporary ornithological topics. Avian brood parasites lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and may be a major contributing factor driving several species of songbirds to near extinction. As one of the first books to present a comprehensive overview of this fascinating phenomenon, this work discusses the comparative biology and co-evolutionary adaptations exhibited by the five families of birds that engage in such behavior. Several chapters dealing with the...

Horn of Darkness: Rhinos on the Edge
ISBN: 9780195111132 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The black rhino is nature's tank, feared by all animals. Even lions will break off a hunt to detour around one. And yet the black rhino is on the edge of extinction, its numbers dwindling from 100,000 at the turn of the century, to less than 2,500 today. The reason is that in places like Yemen, China, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, the rhino's horn is more valuable than gold, so valuable that people will risk their lives to harvest it. To deter rhino poachers, African governments have spent millions--on helicopters, paramilitary operations, fences and guard dogs, even relocation to protected...

At Home in the Universe: The Search for the Laws of Self-Organization and Complexity
ISBN: 9780195111309 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A major scientific revolution has begun, a new paradigm that rivals Darwin's theory in importance. At its heart is the discovery of the order that lies deep within the most complex of systems, from the origin of life, to the workings of giant corporations, to the rise and fall of great civilizations. And more than anyone else, this revolution is the work of one man, Stuart Kauffman, a MacArthur Fellow and visionary pioneer of the new science of complexity. Now, in At Home in the Universe, Kauffman brilliantly weaves together the excitement of intellectual discovery and a fertile mix of...

Maternal Effects as Adaptations
ISBN: 9780195111637 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Mothers have the ability to profoundly affect the quality of their offspring--from the size and quality of their eggs to where, when, and how eggs and young are placed, and from providing for and protecting developing young to choosing a mate. In many instances, these maternal effects may be the single most important contributor to variation in offspring fitness. This book explores the wide variety of maternal effects that have evolved in plants and animals as mechanisms of adaptation to temporally and spatially heterogeneous environments. Topics range from the evolutionary implications of...

Pleistocene Amphibians and Reptiles in Britain and Europe
ISBN: 9780195112320 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Pleistocene epoch or Ice Age, an extended period of advancing and retreating ice sheets, is characterized by striking climatic oscillations and sea level fluctuations. This age saw the rise and spread of humans and a great extinction of large mammals by the end of the epoch; in fact, the world today is essentially the product of dramatic changes that took place in the Pleistocene. This book, a companion to the author's Pleistocene Amphibians and Reptiles in North America, discusses the Pleistocene amphibians and reptiles in Britain and the European continent eastward through...

Regulating Toxic Substances: A Philosophy of Science and the Law
ISBN: 9780195113785 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The proliferation of chemical substances in commerce poses scientific and philosophical problems. The scientific challenge is to develop data, methodologies, and techniques for identifying and assessing toxic substances before they cause harm to human beings and the environment. The philosophical problem is how much scientific information we should demand for this task consistent with other social goals we might have. In this book, Cranor utilizes material from ethics, philosophy of law, epidemiology, tort law, regulatory law, and risk assessment, to argue that the scientific evidential...
