Reconstructing Mobility: Environmental, Behavioral, and Morphological Determinants
ISBN: 9781489979636 / Angielski / Miękka / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Assembles a collection of experts to provide a current account of different approaches (e.g., traditional, comparative and experimental) being applied to study mobility. Moreover, the book aims to stimulate new theoretical perspectives that adopt a holistic view of the interaction among intrinsic (i.e. skeletal) and extrinsic (i.e. environmental) factors that influence differential expression of mobility. Since the environment undoubtedly impacts mobility of a wide variety of animals, insights into human mobility, as a concept, can be improved by extending approaches to investigating...
