This book introduces to the reader unfamiliar with primatology in Japan three research projects representative of the unique multidisciplinary approach carried out by scientists at Kyoto University, the country's premier institution for primate studies.
The biological and genetic bases of behavioral diversity have long been topics of study within many disciplines, including evolutionary biology, genetics, ethology, sociobiology, and comparative psychology, but only relatively recently have attempts been made to bring these different approaches together.
As the largest group of extant vertebrates, fish offer an almost limitless number of striking examples of evolutionary adaptation to environmental and biotic selection pressure.
Die Epigenetik erweitert das seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert diskutierte Verhältnis zwischen Erbanlagen und Umweltfaktoren um eine völlig neue Dimension: die Rückwirkung persönlicher Erfahrungen auf die Ausprägung der Gene.
This book describes how methodologies in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, electromagnetic bioeffects, and nanotechnology were brought together to construct a nanostructure that is a composite of nucleic acid, carbon nanotube, paramagnetic metallic nanoparticles, and aromatic polymer that is responsive to nonionizing electromagnetic radiation, RFR to microwaves.
Gene, Genome und Sequenzen auf der einen Seite, Algorithmen, Computer und Informatik auf der anderen - sie üben Faszination aus, halten aber viele Interessierte auf respektvolle Distanz.
The Handbook of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis captures the latest understanding of the science that supports bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) and includes the results of numerous research studies using modern technologies not found in previously published books.
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind.
At a round table discussion on the eukaryotic chromosome sponsor- ed by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in Diisseldorf, February 1978, the botanists among the participants felt that plant systems were under-represented.
Secondary pollen presentation is presentation of pollen to vectors by structures other than anthers, either passively or via a specialized protection and delivery system.
This second of two volumes on Plant Genome Diversity provides, in 20 chapters, insights into the structural evolution of plant genomes with all its variations.
In this timely new 2-volume treatise, experts from around the world have banded together to produce a first-of-its-kind synopsis of the exciting and fast moving field of plant evolutionary genomics.
Giardia is a relatively simple eukaryotic microbe, causing acute and chronic diarrhea which has been used as a model to understand complex biological processes occurring in eukaryotic cells.
This book is a practical guide for biologists who use multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) for their data analysis and are looking for a comprehensive overview of the many different programs.
Dieses Buch ist ein praktischer Ratgeber für Biologinnen und Biologen, die Multiple Sequenzalignments (MSAs) für ihre Datenanalysen verwenden und einen verständlichen Überblick über die vielen verschiedenen Programme suchen.
Nanotechnologie, synthetische Biologie, Wiedererweckung ausgestorbener Arten und Geoengineering – werden Menschen die Natur in Zukunft mit solchen Methoden grundlegend umgestalten?
