New Century of Biology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kress, W. John / Barrett, Gary W. / Mayr, Ernst, PUBLISHER: Smithsonian Books, In the twentieth century, scientists in the relatively new ong>fieldong> of ong>biologyong> played an important role in exposing the threats of environmental degradation, loss of species diversity, habitat fragmentation, scarce energy resources, ong>andong> human population growth. In the essays found in A New Century of ong>Biologyong>, some of the world's most notable biologists consider how their discipline must evolve to address these problems in the twenty-first century. The next one hundred years, the contributors argue, will likely be dominated by breakthroughs in evolutionary ong>biologyong> ong>andong> systems ong>ecologyong>, by an increased need for scientists to integrate research, teaching, ong>andong> service missions, ong>andong> by problem-solving ventures on greater spatial ong>andong> temporal scales. Because human activity ong>andong> increased population will continue to have a profound impact on the environment, biologists must define an effective strategy for integrating the biological sciences with global economics ong>andong> human social structure. The eleven contributors are leaders in the ong>fieldong>s of ong>ecologyong> ong>andong> evolution, morphology ong>andong> development, behavior, microong>biologyong>, ecosystem energetics ong>andong> biogeochemistry, biodiversity ong>andong> conservation ong>biologyong>, ong>andong> human sciences. While acknowledging the real problems their discipline must address, they offer an optimistic agenda for the future.

Foraging: Behavior and Ecology

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stephens, David W. / Brown, Joel S. / Ydenberg, Ronald C., PUBLISHER: University of Chicago Press, Foraging is fundamental to animal survival ong>andong> reproduction, yet it is much more than a simple matter of finding food; it is a biological imperative. Animals must find ong>andong> consume resources to succeed, ong>andong> they make extraordinary efforts to do so. For instance, pythons rarely eat, but when they do, their meals are large--as much as 60 percent larger than their own bodies. The snake's digestive system is normally dormant, but during digestion metabolic rates can increase fortyfold. A python digesting quietly on the forest floor has the metabolic rate of thoroughbred in a dead heat. This ong>andong> related foraging processes have broad applications in ong>ecologyong>, cognitive science, anthropology, ong>andong> conservation ong>biologyong>--ong>andong> they can be further extrapolated in economics, neuroong>biologyong>, ong>andong> computer science. "Foraging "is the first comprehensive review of the topic in more than twenty years. A monumental undertaking, this volume brings together twenty-two experts from throughout the ong>fieldong> to offer the latest on the mechanics of foraging, modern foraging theory, ong>andong> foraging ong>ecologyong>. The fourteen essays cover all the relevant issues, including cognition, individual behavior, caching behavior, parental behavior, antipredator behavior, social behavior, population ong>andong> community ong>ecologyong>, herbivory, ong>andong> conservation. Considering a wide range of taxa, from birds to mammals to amphibians, "Foraging" will be the definitive guide to the ong>fieldong>.
