This book, first published in 2005, addresses food-mediated interactions, focusing on how plants employ foods to recruit arthropod ''bodyguards'' as a protection against herbivores.
Population genomics has revolutionized various disciplines of biology including population, evolutionary, ecological and conservation genetics, plant and animal breeding, human health, medicine and pharmacology by allowing to address novel and long-standing questions with unprecedented power and accuracy.
The global drive towards sustainability and improved animal health means there is a greater need for development of novel functional ingredients for the feed industry.
Genetic polymorphisms are important determinants of phenotypic variations and may modulate the risk to or even cause various diseases including genetic disorders and multifactorial diseases.
Advances in Genetics increases its focus on modern human genetics and its relation to medicine with the merger of this long-standing serial with Molecular Genetic Medicine.
- Provides a forum for discussion of new discoveries, approaches, and ideas in molecular biology- Includes contributions from leaders in their fields- Abundantly referenced
The Role of Chromosomes in Development is a collection of papers presented at the 23rd Symposium of the Society for the Study of Development and Growth, held at Amherst, Massachusetts in June 1964.
This book gathers the latest information on the organization of genomes in wild Solanum species and emphasizes how this information is yielding direct outcomes in the fields of molecular breeding, as well as a better understanding of both the patterns and processes of evolution.
Codon-based models of evolution are a relatively new addition to the toolkit of computational biologists, and in recent years remarkable progress has been made in this area.
Hymenoptera, the bees, wasps and ant, are one of the largest insect orders, and have massive ecological importance as pollinators and as predators or parasitoids of other insects.
This book focuses on the application of behaviour genetic approaches to twin studies, and reviews diagnostic to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the relationships between reading, spelling and ADHD, and family and genetic influences on speech and speech and language.
Aquatic Insects of California, with Keys to North American Genera and California Species is an essential reference for scientists, researchers, and enthusiasts working in the study of aquatic insects and their role in freshwater ecosystems.
This comprehensive treatise provides a systemic and insightful overview of current advances in the biosynthetic genomics/genetics and preventive dietetics of carotenoids, flavonoids and betalains, from a general perspective, and in specific fruits and vegetables as well.
The explosion of the field of genetics over the last decade, with the new technologies that have stimulated research, suggests that a new sort of reference work is needed to keep pace with such a fast-moving and interdisciplinary field.
Oxford Textual Perspectives is a series of informative and provocative studies focused upon literary texts (conceived of in the broadest sense of that term) and the technologies, cultures, and communities that produce, inform, and receive them.
The rise of the multi-billion dollar ancestry testing industry points to one immutable truth about us as human beings: we want to know where we come from and who our ancestors were.
This text provides a guide to the experimental and analytical methodologies available to study quantitative traits, a review of the genetic control of quantitative traits, and a discussion of how this knowledge can be applied to breeding problems and evolution.
Originally published in 1982, The Masterpiece of Nature examines sex as representative of the most important challenge to the modern theory of evolution.
This volume explores a collection of the most recent experimental approaches for the detection, modelling, characterization, and in-depth computational analysis of the biological phenomenon known as Oncogene-Induced Senescence (OIS).
Aquatic insects are the dominant invertebrate fauna in most freshwater ecosystems, and figure prominently in the work of a diverse range of researchers, students, and environmental managers.
Comparative Genomics and Proteomics in Drug Discovery gives an overview of how emerging genomic and proteomic technologies are making significant contributions to global drug discovery programs, and in particular the key role that comparative genomics and proteomics play within this strategy.
Chemicals Controlling Insect Behavior consists of papers originally presented at the Symposium on Chemicals Controlling Insect Behavior at the 157th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on April 16, 1969.
Shorebirds of Australia brings together the latest information about the evolution, ecology and behaviour of shorebirds and how they are distributed in Australia.
This book provides insight into the biology and genomics of the genus Boswellia (family Burseraceae), a natural resource used for the production of frankincense, an oleo-gum resin.
Gigantism and Acromegaly brings together pituitary experts, taking readers from bench research, to genetic analysis, clinical analysis, and new therapeutic approaches.
