The present book entitled, 'Perspectives in Animal Ecology and Reproduction' is a reference book on various facts of animal’s ecology and reproduction. Lack of a comprehensive treatise on these important aspects of biology has prompted this humble piece of work. This volume is comprised of 27 research articles written by the eminent research workers of the country on various aspects of animals and their surrounding environment. As many as seventeen articles pertain to animal ecology and ten to their reproductive strategies. The important topics which have found a place in this volume are: v Microbial Studies of Lake Mansar in Jammu Shiwaliks v Ecology, Mass Production, Storage and Applications of Entomopathogenic Nematodes v Biodiversity of Wild Silkmoth v Dragonflies of Western Ghats v Conservation of Tasar Fauna and Flora v Study of Pesticides Use in Cropland Fields v Amphibian and Reptilian Diversity in Western Himalaya v Physiological studies on Quails and Rats v Life Cycle studies on Crustaceans v Study on Radioprotective Effect of Melatonin in Mice v Role of Pheromones and other Semiochemicals in Mammals People at different walks of life including students, researchers, animal breeders, policy makers and administrative shall find this volume of the series very useful.

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...

    Carlos Martínez del Rio / William H. Karasov
    Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarif...

  • Critical Transitions in Nature and Society
    Marten Scheffer
    How do we explain the remarkably abrupt changes that sometimes occur in nature and society--and can we predict why and when they happen? This book offers a comprehensive introduction to critical transitions in complex systems--the radical changes that happen at tipping points when thresholds are passed. Marten Scheffer accessibly describes the dynamical systems theory behind cr...
