Nondestructive Biomarkers in Vertebrates
ISBN: 9780873716482 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nondestructive Biomarkers in Vertebrates presents an innovative approach for hazard assessment in vertebrates based on nondestructive rather than destructive methods. The book reviews the state of the art and defines the development and validation procedure of this new strategy. Biological materials, such as blood samples, epithelial tissue, eggs, feathers, and feces that can be obtained without stress or damage to the animal are suggested. Certain traditional studies (blood esterases, blood chemistry, mixed function oxidases, porphyrins, DNA damage, and cytological changes) can be performed...

Thermoregulation and Foraging Strategies of the Trawling Bat Myotis Daubentonii
ISBN: 9783639037180 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Influence of reproduction on thermoregulation, food intake and foraging strategies of free-ranging female and male Daubentons bat, Myotis daubentonii. Balancing the energy demand of reproduction in bats requires specific physiological and behavioural adaptations. Part of this thesis thus focussed on the use of daily torpor in M. daubentonii during colder ambient temperatures and reduced food availability, an aspect that strongly influences foetal development and probably also spermatogenesis but that has been little studied to date for free-ranging bats. This also applies for a detailed...

C. hectori: Dolphin Behaviour in Response
ISBN: 9783639040814 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Animal behaviour is often difficult to observe, measure and interpret. It is often even more difficult to say for certain that specific factors result in stress. To report that stress occurs a certain number of times or for a certain amount of the time are in themselves inconclusive. To determine any real cause for concern, in relation to the presence of stress and its effect on behaviour or reproduction, it is necessary to define stress and view all behaviours exhibited in context. This book (Volume II of III) outlines a study on Hectors dolphin behaviour as observed from specific tour-boats...

C. hectori: Behaviour in Response to Tour-Boat & Yacht Presence
ISBN: 9783639043945 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whether dolphins behave differently between observation sites and towards specific types of watercraft are questions many researchers ask. This book (Volume III of III) outlines a study which investigated dolphin orientation, quadrant preference and swimming direction in relation to tour-boat presence at two New Zealand harbours. Individual and sequential beha-viour patterns were also investigated. The results obtained were compared to dolphin behaviour in the presence of a private yacht. Behaviours were cate-gorised as avoidance, positive or neutral behaviour. It was found that there were no...

Introduction to Ecotoxicology
ISBN: 9780632038527 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Environmental pollution is one of the most serious threats to the future health of our planet. A wide and ever increasing range of chemicals from industry, agriculture, medicine and a host of other sources continue to contribute to the earth's chemical load. Governments have encountered great difficulties responding to the crucial and immediate need for effective management.
As a result, the new science of ecotoxicology has developed, which provides a broad conceptual framework for evaluating the effects of chemicals in natural ecosystems. This book is aimed principally... Environmental pollution is one of the most serious threats to the future health of our planet. A wide and ever increasing range of chemicals from indu...

The Biology of Traditions: Models and Evidence
ISBN: 9780521087308 / Angielski / Miękka / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In exploring socially-maintained behavioral traditions in animals other than humans, this study treats traditions as biological phenomena amenable to comparative evaluation in the same way as other biological phenomena. Concerned with how widely shared features of social life and learning abilities can lead to traditions in many species, it differs from other books in its emphasis on explicit evaluation of alternative theories and methods, and in the breadth of species covered. It is essential reading for students and researchers in animal behavior, anthropology and psychology.

Ontogeny, Functional Ecology, and Evolution of Bats
ISBN: 9780521087353 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study of animal development has deep historical roots in codifying the field of evolutionary biology. In the 1940s, evolutionary theory became engulfed by microevolutionary genetic analysis and development became focused on mechanisms, forsaking the evolutionary implications of ontogeny. Recently, ontogeny has resurfaced as a significant component of evolutionary change, population, and community dynamics. Ontogeny, Functional Ecology and Evolution of Bats is a unique reference work by bat biologists who emphasize the importance of understanding ontogeny in the analysis of evolution and...

Clonality: The Genetics, Ecology, and Evolution of Sexual Abstinence in Vertebrate Animals
ISBN: 9780195369670 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Approximately 99.9% of vertebrate species reproduce sexually. The exceptional 0.1% reproduce via asexual or clonal means, which vary wildly and are fascinating in their own right. In this book, John C. Avise describes the genetics, ecology, natural history, and evolution of the world's approximately 100 species of vertebrate animal that routinely display one form or another of clonal or quasi-clonal reproduction. By considering the many facets of sexual abstinence and clonal reproduction in vertebrate animals, Avise sheds new light on the biological meaning and ramifications of standard...
