Advances in Littorinid Biology
ISBN: 9780792337331 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Members of the gastropod family Littorinidae are common throughout the world. They form a very abundant component of many intertidal and shallow subtidal ecosystems and, by their grazing, often play a central role in shaping these communities. They also display a wide range of life history strategies and many are polymorphic, making them attractive model organisms for ecologists, evolutionary biologists and physiologists alike. Areas of particular interest include ecological interactions with other animals and with algae, the effects of pollutants and the use of littorinids as sentinel...

Reproduction and growth of elephant shrews or sengis (Macroscelidea)
ISBN: 9783838111803 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sengis or elephant shrews have been studied for more than a century but information on their biology is still scattered. The reproductive biology of sengis is best understood in the context of their evolutionary history. This research aims to consolidate molecular findings of other studies with morphological methods to contribute to a better understanding of their phylogeny. Being members of the Afrotheria, particular attention was paid to this African clade of mammals. The theoretical part of this book summarizes and discusses the knowledge on reproductive parameters across the order...

Thermoregulation and Resource Management in Honeybees (Apis mellifera)
ISBN: 9783838113081 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ecological success of social insects is largely based on the complex organization of their colonies. In a honeybee colony, the adjustment of labor is expected to be highly adaptive. Because biotic and abiotic factors like temperature, brood rearing conditions and nectar availability strongly fluctuate, the honey resources which are shared between all members are of crucial importance for the colonys survival. The questions posed are whether there is a performance-related reward system, what controls individual differences in performance, and how such systems might have ...

Stress activated protein kinase mediates the cognitive behaviour
ISBN: 9783639268379 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The highly conserved molecular processes underlying learning prompted me to study the impact of external stimuli (infection and environmental stress) on the well investigated behavioural repertoire of honeybee. In both vertebrates and invertebrates, the role of JNK/SAPK (Jun-N-terminal kinase/Stress activated protein kinase) in mechanism of learning and memory formation is not well understood and demands for a thorough investigation, especially in vivo. This work demonstrates a central role of JNK/SAPK, well known as central component in mammalian immune and stress response, in...

Fish Processing
ISBN: 9783639275612 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is based on the findings of research conducted to investigate the feasibility of adopting the kilishi traditional method of meat processing to fish. The book is in sections such as biochemical compositions, bacteriology, preservation and processing technologies of freshwater fishes. The applied processing technology was seen to have enhanced the shelf stability, nutritional composition and organoleptic properties of the fish. Fish kilishi as a ready-to-eat snack is envisaged as a welcome innovation.

The three invited symposia held during the conference focussed attention on particular topical areas of research within the field of marine plankton, and also provided reviews of chosen aspects of copepod biology. These symposia were...

Adaptive Herbivore Ecology: From Resources to Populations in Variable Environments
ISBN: 9780521148368 / Angielski / Miękka / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The adaptation of herbivore behavior to seasonal and locational variations in vegetation quantity and quality is inadequately modelled by conventional methods. Norman Owen-Smith innovatively links the principles of adaptive behavior to their consequences for population dynamics and community ecology, through the application of a metaphysiological modeling approach. The main focus is on large mammalian herbivores occupying seasonally variable environments such as those characterized by African savannas, but applications to temperate zone ungulates are also included. Issues of habitat...

Tissue Reactions and Damage in Some Plant Roots Infected with Nematode
ISBN: 9783639279528 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Observations were made on the nematode infected roots of pomegranate, jujube, apple, date-palm, chilli, papaya and grapevines. The nematodes caused severe damage to the root tissue affecting both the cortical and medullary regions. Main findings were erosion of cortical region, thickening of wall and enlargement of cells with irregular outline resulting in giant cell. Broken cell boundaries with fusion of several cells resulting in large spaces were observed. Formation of very large multinucleated cells with egg masses and cells with section of nematodes was a common finding in some of the...

Chimpanzee Behavior in the Wild: An Audio-Visual Encyclopedia [With DVD]
ISBN: 9784431538943 / Angielski / Twarda / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The behavior of chimpanzees is complex and challenging: they can be cheerful, curious, and tolerant while also being capable of cunning, greed, and violence. Until now, there has been no comprehensive glossary with illustrations upon which systematic behavioral comparisons could be based. Combining recent video footage with decades worth of documented across- and within-population variations in behavior, this volume is the first to compile an extensive ethogram of a single species of mammal. The wild chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains and Gombe National Park, Tanzania, have been observed in...
