The present book includes chapters on history of mycology, as well as on fungi morphology, growth, physiology and reproduction. The other chapters cover the details ecology of fungi, classification and systematics. The book includes questions, tests and variants of laboratory works. The book has been written to cater to the needs of Undergraduate and Postgraduate students of East-African Universities. Author expresses the confidence in usefulness of the compendium for future professionals activity in the field of fungal biotechnology.

Parasites exhibit the combinations of biochemical, physiological and nutritional unique adaptations and display a range of mechanisms to evade the immune system. The book possesses the most important places of lectures on parasitology. Particular attention is given to environmentally sustainable development, control and prevention of epizootic situation of parasitic diseases of humans and animals in East Africa.This manual can be read students passed entomology and zoology courses. Author express hopefulness this manual will be the useful to students qualifying in biotechnology and...

The value of the fluctuating asymmetry shows the relative ineffectiveness of organismic control systems developmental processes. Assessment of the environmental quality is now a very promising approach for the integral characteristic of living organisms. Stability of development is characterized by the level of fluctuating asymmetry in morphological structures. In this monograph the morphogeometric method was applied to assess the FA leaf plate woody plants (birch, oak, linden and maple). Results of the developmental stability monitoring in plant ecosystems were reported on the example of one...

Presented monograph is the result of the academic experience and summer environmental camps outdoor lessons. The observed methods were using in teaching the following environmental courses: environmental monitoring, natural recourse management, biodiversity, social ecology, toxicology, hydrobiology, scientific method and some others. This monograph contains guidelines for laboratory work in the biological ecology. It focuses on field methods. Those methods can be reproduced, some methods include mathematical formalism.

This lecture course is intended for senior students and selects from a combination of other ecological and biological disciplines the interaction between human society (socio-economic communities, ethnic groups, races, humanity as a whole) with the natural environment on the basis of sociobiological approach and the economic impact on the environment. Lectures are integrated-interdisciplinary comprehensive material covering human psychology, the history of science, history, geological and social processes. Practical works and tests help to learn and understand the course material.
