Comparative Cognition: Experimental Explorations of Animal Intelligence
ISBN: 9780195377804 / Angielski / Miękka / 720 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1978, Hulse, Fowler, and Honig published Cognitive Processes in Animal Behavior, an edited volume that was a landmark in the scientific study of animal intelligence. It liberated interest in complex learning and cognition from the grasp of the rigid theoretical structures of behaviorism that had prevailed during the previous four decades, and as a result, the field of comparative cognition was born. At long last, the study of the cognitive capacities of animals other than humans emerged as a worthwhile scientific enterprise. No less rigorous than purely behavioristic...

Influences on Female Social Networks in Old-World Primates
ISBN: 9783639130928 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Primates are for the most part intensely social, and
dedicate large proportions of their time budgets to servicing social relationships through grooming. Conflicting arguments have been proposed to explain the limits shown in group size; is it a restriction in the brain capacity of females to keep track of all their relationships, or could it be an ecologicaly imposed limit in the time available to socially interact and build relationships? Using methods taken from social network analysis, this study attempts to uncouple these two explanations by examining how each affects aspects... Primates are for the most part intensely social, and

Intraspecific Variation in the Social Systems of Wild Vertebrates
ISBN: 9780521115230 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has often been assumed by those studying animal behaviour that the social system adopted by a species is a fixed product of natural selection. There is now an interesting body of evidence that this is not always the case and that alternative forms of social organisation may be adopted according to circumstance. In this book, first published in 1991, Professor Lott presents an overview of the understanding of this phenomenon and its implications for animal conservation and management. Those interested in social systems and more generally in animal behaviour and ecology will find this book...

Reproductive Skew in Vertebrates: Proximate and Ultimate Causes
ISBN: 9780521864091 / Angielski / Twarda / 523 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reproductive skew is the study of how reproduction is partitioned in animal societies. In many social animals reproduction is shared unequally and leads to a reproductive skew among group members. Skew theory investigates the genetic and ecological factors causal to the partitioning of reproduction in animal groups and may yield fundamental insights into the evolution of animal sociality. This book brings together new theory and empirical work, mostly in vertebrates, to test assumptions and predictions of skew models. It also gives an updated critical review of skew theory. The team of...

Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior
ISBN: 9780195319842 / Angielski / Miękka / 720 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How do animals perceive the world, learn, remember, search for food or mates, communicate, and find their way around? Do any nonhuman animals count, imitate one another, use a language, or have a culture? What are the uses of cognition in nature and how might it have evolved? What is the current status of Darwin's claim that other species share the same "mental powers" as humans, but to different degrees? In this completely revised second edition of Cognition, Evolution, and Behavior, Sara Shettleworth addresses these questions, among others, by integrating findings from...

Animal Evolution: Genomes, Fossils, and Trees
ISBN: 9780199549429 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Animal life, now and over the past half billion years, is incredibly diverse. Describing and understanding the evolution of this diversity of body plans - from vertebrates such as humans and fish to the numerous invertebrate groups including sponges, insects, molluscs, and the many groups of worms - is a major goal of evolutionary biology. In this book, a group of leading researchers adopt a modern, integrated approach to describe how current molecular genetic techniques and disciplines as diverse as palaeontology, embryology, and genomics have been combined, resulting in a dramatic...

Sex Allocation
ISBN: 9780691089645 / Angielski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent decades have witnessed an explosion of theoretical and empirical studies of sex allocation, transforming how we understand the allocation of resources to male and female reproduction in vertebrates, invertebrates, protozoa, and plants. In this landmark book, Stuart West synthesizes the vast literature on sex allocation, providing the conceptual framework the field has been lacking and demonstrating how sex-allocation studies can shed light on broader questions in evolutionary and behavioral biology. West clarifies fundamental misconceptions in the application of theory to...

The Smallest Anthropoids: The Marmoset/Callimico Radiation
ISBN: 9781441902924 / Angielski / Twarda / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The marmosets and callimicos are diminutive monkeys from the Amazon basin and Atlantic Coastal Forest of South America. The marmosets are the smallest anthropoid primates in the world, ranging in size from approximately 100 to 350 g (Hershkovitz 1977; Soini 1988; Ford and Davis 1992; Araujo et al. 2000); calli- cos are not much bigger, at around 350-540 g (Ford and Davis 1992; Encarnacion and Heymann 1998; Garber and Leigh 2001). Overwhelming genetic evidence, from both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, now indicates that these taxa represent a unified clade within the callitrichid radiation of...

Estimation of Forage Mass, Dry Matter Intake and Digestibility
ISBN: 9783639154542 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Forage mass is required to estimate important
attributes in grazing studies, e.g., total amount of available nutrients, effect of management practices on the pastures, crop growth rate, and forage production, utilization, and degradation. Dry matter intake and digestibility represent the most important and useful estimates of the forage nutritive value. Unfortunately, in trials under grazing conditions, forage mass is difficult to measure because the crop cannot be harvested without affecting both animal and pasture performance. Likewise, the actual feed intake and nutritive value of the... Forage mass is required to estimate important
