Zoology and animal sciences

This volume is a record of the proceedings of the IXth International Rotifer Symposium, which was held in Khon Kaen, Thailand, on January 16-23, 2000.

In contrast to books on specific bioactive compounds, this book deals with the role of mevalonic acid metabolites (isoprenoids and their derived structures) in metabolism, development, and functions of organisms, which, though diverse, show various levels of communication.

This publication contains the proceedings of a seminar held in Ghent, Belgium on October 11th-13th 1977, under the auspices of the Commission of the European Communities, as part of the EEC programme of co-ordination of research on beef production.

The welfare of domestic poultry.

This publication contains the proceedings of a seminar held in Germany (Fed.

The transport of farm livestock was the subject of the seminar held from 7 - 8 July 1981 at the Commission of the European Communities (CECl, Directorate General for Agriculture, Brussels as part of the work of the Division Coordinating Agricultural Research.

The papers in this volume were presented at an international symposium, held in South Australia on September 8-10, 1983.

The student of biological science in his final years as an undergraduate and his first years as a graduate is expected to gain some familiarity with current research at the frontiers of his discipline.

This volume focuses exclusively on those endocytic processes that sequester proteins by a selective, receptor-mediated mechanism.

Bacteria adhere to and colonize almost any surface.

In his preface to early editions of this book, the late Dr.

From their largely descriptive beginnings about a half century ago, studies on the ecology of small mammals have mushroomed in number, scope, content and complexity.

Reproductive wastage is a major inefficiency in all livestock production with embryonic mortality accounting for a major portion of this loss.

Throughout the world many projects have been underway to investigate the conversion of renewable biomass into energy and synthetic fuels by thermo- chemical methods such as combustion, pyrolysis, gasification and lique- faction.

In the early years of this century a Scottish doctor speculated on the evolutionary origin of human tears.

The 5th International Symposium on Microbial Growth on C Compounds was held at the Biological 1 Center of the University of Groningen, Haren, The Netherlands, 11-16 August 1986.

These volumes represent the proceedings of NATO Advanced Study Institute on the topic of "e;Cognitive Processes and Spatial Orientation in Animal and Man"e; held at La-Baume-les-Aix, Aix-en-Provence, France, in June-July 1985.

Some years ago a book reviewer, perhaps with Freudian honesty, remarked that the book in question 'filled a much needed gap in the literature'.

Animal production systems have changed dramatically over the last two decades.

This book contains the contributions to a workshop on stress in farm animals held on April 17-18,1986 at the Pietersberg Con- ference Centre Oosterbeek.

This third volume of articles dealing with advances in animal welfare science and philosophy covers a wide variety of topics.

with the issues involved in the management of salmon fishing.

This short book attempts to give a reader who has a basic biochemical and microbiological background (one to two years at University level) an idea of the ecological, biochemical, physiological and biotechnological importance of methane, methanol and related compounds in the microbial world.

This book is concerned with two problems: how eusociality, in which one individual forgoes reproduction to enhance the reproduction of a nestmate, could evolve under natural selection, and why it is found only in some insects-termites, ants and some bees and wasps.

Limnology - the study of inland waters - had its genesis in Europe about the turn of the century.

This volume contains the papers presented in the NATO Advanced Research Workshop "e;Activation of Hormone and Growth Factor Receptors: Molecular Mechanisms and Consequences"e; held in Nafplion, Greece on September 25-30, 1988.

The concept of this book arose out of an international workshop, which we organized and held at the University of Wales Conference Centre at Gregynog.

This book has arisen from the Second European Meeting on Bacterial Genetics and Ecology (Bageco-2) held at the University of Wales, College of Cardiff which we organised on 11-12 April 1989.

The 9th International Symposium on Insect-Plant Relationships (SIP-9) was once more, following the tradition established in 1958, a forum for investigators in both basic and applied entomology interested in the important and fascinating field of interactions between plants and insects.

Not everybody cares about the fate of wild animals or the state of the natural environment.

Because of the magnificent response to the call for papers for the 7th International Biodeterioration Symposium held at Cambridge, UK, some difficulties have been experienced in the editing of these proceedings.

At present fishing for salmon in Norwegian home water is carried out with drift nets, bag nets, bend nets, lift nets and stake nets in the sea, and mainly by rods in the rivers.

Building from general principles, the authors clearly explain the fundamental role of epithelia in plasma electrolyte and water balance.

Scyphozoa have attracted the attention of many types of people.

Only in recent years has it been revealed that V.

Rory Putman addresses the question of how, in many temporate ecosystems, diverse and species-rich assemblies of ungulates manage to co-exist despite often quite extensive overlap in ecological requirements.
