The textbook builds a bridge between the "e;neurosciences"e; (theoretical and experimental neurobiology, neurology) and the "e;psychosciences"e; (psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy) and aims to help provide the other disciplines with the most important and scientifically validated knowledge in an understandable form.

Parasites threaten the health of animals and humans alike.

Nature helps.

Global warming and globalization are the buzzwords of our time.

This book is the result of collaborative efforts which have taken place over the past 20 years within the COLOSS network, when the factor “bee origin” was first put into the equation of factors involved in colony losses.

Cattle are currently the most important domesticated mammals, with populations numbering in the hundreds of millions and occupying large tracts of land, while the conservation of large mammalian carnivores is becoming a dominant discourse in modern geopolitics, also claiming large portions of the Earth's land surface.

Bellamente ilustrada, documentada con fotografias de situaciones reales obtenidas en el campo, y con detallada informacion de historia natural, distribucion geografica y descripciones de huellas, excrementos y otros rastros de 60 especies de mamiferos colombianos, esta guia pretende resaltar la importancia del rastreo para detectar la presencia de los mamiferos en Colombia como apreciacion no invasiva de la biodiversidad.

Por su ubicacion geografica, Antioquia, en particular, las subregiones del nordeste y Magdalena Medio, presentan una gran cantidad de especies teniendo influencia de la fauna centroamericana y del norte de suramerica, asi como de la fauna de las montanas y las llanuras del rio Magdalena.

Esta guia muestra como las especies vegetales no solo proveen alimento, sino que tambien ofrecen refugio, espacios de anidacion, perchas y materiales esenciales para la vida de las aves.
