Disease in Wild Animals: Investigation and Management
ISBN: 9783540489740 / Angielski / Twarda / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book arose out of teaching graduate and undergraduate classes in wildlife diseases. It, in some ways, chronicles my involvement in the inves- gation and diagnosis of diseases in free-ranging wildlife, primarily in western and northern Canada, since the 1960s. It also, perhaps, reflects the devel- ment of wildlife disease study as a discipline. Much of the earlier work in this field was purely descriptive, documenting the occurrence of various diseases in wild animals. I have chosen to retain references to some older and obscure information in this second edition because this body of work...

Hydrology, Ecology, and Fishes of the Klamath River Basin
ISBN: 9780309115063 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Klamath River basin, which spans parts of southern Oregon and northern California, has been the focus of a prominent conflict over competing uses for water. Management actions to protect threatened and endangered fish species in the basin have left less water available for irrigation in dry years and heightened tensions among farmers and other stakeholders including commercial fishermen, Native Americans, conservationists, hunters, anglers, and hydropower producers. This National Research Council book assesses two recent studies that evaluate various aspects of flows in the Klamath...

Medaka: A Model for Organogenesis, Human Disease, and Evolution
ISBN: 9784431926900 / Angielski / Twarda / 387 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Oryzias latipes, known as medaka, is a model organism from East Asia.

This book is the first comprehensive monograph to cover a variety of... Oryzias latipes, known as medaka, is a model organism from East Asia.

Tropical Fish Otoliths: Information for Assessment, Management and Ecology
ISBN: 9781402035821 / Angielski / Twarda / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Techniques and theory for processing otoliths from tropical marine fish have developed only recently due to an historic misconception that these organisms could not be aged. Otoliths are the most commonly used structures from which daily, seasonal or annual records of a fish s environmental history are inferred, and are also used as indicators of migration patterns, home range, spatial distribution, stock structure and life history events. A large proportion of projects undertaken on tropical marine organisms involve removal and processing of calcified structures such as otoliths,...

Reef Fish Spawning Aggregations: Biology, Research and Management
ISBN: 9789400719798 / Angielski / Twarda / 622 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reef fish spawning aggregations, ranging from small groups to many tens of thousands of individuals, are spectacular but poorly known natural phenomena whereby fish assemble at specific times and locations to spawn. For some species these large groups may be the only form of reproduction, the high fish numbers briefly giving a false impression of stability and abundance-an 'illusion of plenty'. They are often a focus for intensive seasonal fishing because of their predictability and because many important commercial fishes form them. Highly vulnerable to overexploitation, many aggregations...
