The Welfare of Domestic Fowl and Other Captive Birds
ISBN: 9789048136490 / Angielski / Twarda / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Animal welfare is attracting increasing interest worldwide, especially in developed countries where the knowledge and resources are available to (at least potentially) provide better management systems for farm animals, as well as companion, zoo and laboratory animals. The key requirements for adequate food, water, a suitable environment, appropriate companionship and good health are important for animals kept for all of these purposes. There has been increased attention given to farm animal welfare in many co- tries in recent years. This derives largely from the fact that the relentless...

Pesticide Impact on Stream Fauna: With Special Reference to Macroinvertebrates
ISBN: 9780521125284 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The problem of pesticide contamination of running waters is one of concern in many different fields of human activity. A critical experimental approach is essential in trying to understand how individual stream fauna react and how integrated aquatic communities respond to these toxic chemicals, both over short periods and in the long term. This book, first published in 1987, deals with three aspects of pesticide contamination. First the origins of the pollutants are considered. Secondly, there follows a consideration of laboratory evaluation techniques, and thirdly, the final section of the...

Population ecology of the edible dormouse
ISBN: 9783639204452 / Angielski / Miękka / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Beech trees produce nutritious seeds at unpredictable intervals. Consumers of such pulsed resources are often generalists that exhibit population growth following a mast fruiting event. However, one mammal shows maybe uniquely distinct adaptations to seed production: The edible dormouse (Glis glis). Dormice are able to anticipate a future mast situation, allowing them to synchronize reproduction with high food availability - or skip it entirely in the absence of seeds. Considering their strong adaptations, this study aims to investigate the influence of woodland composition on the species...

Respiratory Physiology of Vertebrates: Life with and Without Oxygen
ISBN: 9780521878548 / Angielski / Twarda / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How do vertebrates get the oxygen they need, or even manage without it for shorter or longer periods of time? How do they sense oxygen, how do they take it up from water or air, and how do they transport it to their tissues? Respiratory system adaptations allow numerous vertebrates to thrive in extreme environments where oxygen availability is limited or where there is no oxygen at all. Written for students and researchers in comparative physiology, this authoritative summary of vertebrate respiratory physiology begins by exploring the fundamentals of oxygen sensing, uptake and transport in a...

Infanticide by Males and Its Implications
ISBN: 9780521774987 / Angielski / Miękka / 584 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Infanticide by males is relatively common in primates, carnivores, and rodents, although it tends to be rare even in species in which it occurs. Is this behavior pathological or accidental, or does it reflect a conditional reproductive strategy for males in certain circumstances? In this book, case studies and reviews confirm the adaptive nature of infanticide by males in primates, and help to predict which species should be vulnerable to this phenomenon. Much of the book is devoted to exploring the evolutionary consequences of the threat of infanticide by males for social and reproductive...

Sibling rivalry in Black-legged Kittiwakes
ISBN: 9783639219890 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In some birds a direct competition between siblings occur. Several differences within clutches and broods influence this competence. The main asynchronies are present in egg components, egg size and age. These differences were studied and experimentally manipulated to investigate their influence on sibling rivalry. Kittiwake mothers lay mainly two eggs asynchronously provoking chicks to hatch with a difference of 12 to 24 hrs. This difference in hours is enough to favour first hatched siblings in terms of age and size. When food is not enough, first hatched chicks will aggressively expel...

Neural Systems: Analysis and Modeling
ISBN: 9780792392583 / Angielski / Twarda / 465 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years there has been tremendous activity in computational neuroscience resulting from two parallel developments. On the one hand, our knowledge of real nervous systems has increased dramatically over the years; on the other, there is now enough computing power available to perform realistic simulations of actual neural circuits. This is leading to a revolution in quantitative neuroscience, which is attracting a growing number of scientists from non-biological disciplines. These scientists bring with them expertise in signal processing, information theory, and dynamical systems...
