Insects as Natural Enemies: A Practical Perspective

Insects as Natural Enemies: A Practical Perspective by Mark A. Jervis
English | PDF(True) | 2005 | 755 Pages | ISBN : 1402017340 | 28.42 MB

Over the past three decades there has been a dramatic increase in theoretical and practical studies on insect natural enemies. The appeal of insect predators, and parasitoids in particular, as research animals derives from the relative ease with which many species may be cultured and experimented with in the laboratory, the simple life cycles of most parasitoids, and the increasing demand for biological pest control.

Tropical Fruits and Frugivores: The Search for Strong Interactors by J. Lawrence Dew, Jean Philippe Boubli
English | PDF(True) | 2005 | 262 Pages | ISBN : 1402038321 | 9.5 MB

In this book we undertake one of the first global-scale comparisons of the relationships between tropical plants and frugivorous animal communities, comparing sites within and across continents. In total, 12 primary contributors, including noted plant and animal ecologists, present newly-analyzed long-term datasets on the floristics and phenological rhythms of their study sites, identifying important seed dispersers and key plant taxa that sustain animal communities in Africa, Madagascar, Australasia, and the Neotropics.

Goldfish Development and Evolution by Kinya G. Ota
English | EPUB | 2021 | 298 Pages | ISBN : 9811608490 | 181.1 MB

This book explains how the beautiful goldfish body develops from a single fertilized egg and how this developmental process was changed during the process of domestication. The contents can be categorized as follows: i) numerous high-quality live photo images of embryonic and larval stage goldfish, ii) detailed descriptions of skeletogenesis with fluorescent microscopic and histological images, iii) the most advanced interpretation of the relationship between artificial selection and developmental processes, iv) future perspectives of the application of the genome editing techniques for the ornamental goldfish breeding, and v) methodological descriptions for goldfish developmental biology.

Hofmeyr: A Late Pleistocene Human Skull from South Africa by Frederick E. Grine
English | PDF | 2022 | 259 Pages | ISBN : 3031074254 | 12.3 MB

This edited volume provides the historical and geological background, as well as the details pertaining to the morphology and morphometric assessments, of a singular human cranial specimen from the Late Pleistocene discovered in Hofmeyr, South Africa. The chapters are divided into 4 main sections. Section 1 discusses the discovery and historical context of the skull, while section 2 addresses its geological and geochronological contexts through dating and stable isotope analyses. Section 3 details the general morphological and morphometric analyses (description, 3-D reconstruction, morphological comparisons), and section 4 details the specific morphological analyses performed (inner ear, dentition, endocranial morphology and size). The volume will be of interest to professional and student paleoanthropologists interested in the later phases of human evolution.

Water Bears: The Biology of Tardigrades by Ralph O. Schill
English | PDF | 2018 | 418 Pages | ISBN : 3319957015 | 16.2 MB

Offering extensive information on tardigrades, this volume begins with a chapter on the history of tardigrades, from the first description by Goeze in 1773, until 1929, when the most comprehensive monographic approach by E. Marcus was published. Tardigrades’ organ systems, including their integument, body cavity, digestive, muscular, nervous and reproductive systems, as well as their overall external morphology, are summarized in the second chapter. Subsequent chapters present the current state of knowledge on tardigrade phylogeny, biogeography, paleontology, cytology and cytogenetics. In addition, the book provides insights into the ecology of tardigrades in marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats.

The Sixth Trieste Conference on Chemical Evolution for the first time has also been a Euroconference. This year we focused on "First Steps in the Origin of Life in the Universe". (Both this Centre and the ICGEB have been sponsors since we first started planning the series with Professors Abdus Salam and Cyril Ponnamperuma.)

Self-Organization as a New Paradigm in Evolutionary Biology: From Theory to Applied Cases in the Tree of Life by Anne Dambricourt Malassé
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 393 Pages | ISBN : 3031047826 | 58.5 MB

The epistemological synthesis of the various theories of evolution, since the first formulation in 1802 with the transmission of the inherited characters by J.B. Lamarck, shows the need for an alternative synthesis to that of Princeton (1947). This new synthesis integrates the scientific models of self-organization developed during the second half of the 20th century based on the laws of physics, thermodynamics, and mathematics with the emergent evolutionary problematics such as self-organized memory.

Adaptability: The Significance of Variability from Molecule to Ecosystem by Michael Conrad
English | PDF | 1983 | 397 Pages | ISBN : 1461583292 | 40.2 MB

In order to survive and reproduce biological systems must be adapted to the specific features of their environment. They must also be adaptable, or capable of functioning in an uncertain environment. The adaptability of biological matter is one of its most striking properties.
