Sex and sociality in fishes
ISBN: 9783844314304 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the fundamental goals of behavioural ecology is to understand the evolution of animal societies - how they are formed, structured and stabilized. A generalised understanding of the functioning of animal societies has clear, far-reaching consequences for our understanding of the evolutionary origins of our own societies. In order to shed light on our own behavioural characteristics, we much first conduct detailed investigations into the structure, functioning and stability of model animal systems that can be experimentally manipulated to test key theories in social...

Keys to the Cestode Parasite of Vertebrates
ISBN: 9780851988795 / Angielski / Twarda / 768 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most previous publications on the classification of tapeworms (cestodes) have been based on compilations from the literature and are now dated. Thus there is a real need for up-to-date keys based on the re-examination of specimens and on a re-evaluation of the characters employed in cestode taxonomy. This book fulfils this need and provides keys to enable specialists and non-specialists to identify cestodes to generic level. The keys are dichotomous and are based largely on morphological characters.

Mouse infection with CVB3 mimics the heterotypic response to virus-induced disease observed in humans. Here we have used Evans blue dye as a quantitative biomarker for susceptibility to CVB3-induced myocarditis in addition to histopathological semi quantitative measures. We have found evidence of linkage between susceptibility to viral myocarditis and three loci. A locus on chromosome 1 was linked to sarcolemmal disruption in males (P=0.00005), a second locus on chromosome 4 was also linked to...
