Concentrating on the complex spider communication system, this book assembles the most recent multidisciplinary advances of leading researchers from many countries to assess the peculiar role spiders play in the animal kingdom.
Since its discovery in I960, the hybridization of somatic cells has evolved from a biological curiosity into an analytical method that today underlies nearly all investigations of the genetic aspects of various biological phenomena.
Professor Bonner has rewritten more than half of this standard treatise to take account of the great amount of recent research on the cellular slime molds.
Kenneth Raper tells how dictyostelids are isolated, cultivated, and conserved in the laboratory; how myxamoebae aggregate to form multicellular pseudoplasmodia; how fructifications arise by transformation of amoeboid cells into stalk cells and spores; and how similar cells can, under certain conditions, enter a sexual phase.
The authors of the eleven chapters in this book approach the subject from a variety of viewpoints, ranging from an analysis of molecular changes within differentiating cells to a consideration of the factors governing the transplantation of normal and abnormal tissues.
This book deals with the ear as an acoustic instrument: as a piece of physical apparatus functioning for the reception of sounds from the outside, for conveying them inward to the auditory sense cells, and finally for producing a mechanical stimulation of these cells.
This book discusses biochemical adaptation to environments from freezing polar oceans to boiling hot springs, and under hydrostatic pressures up to 1,000 times that at sea level.
The evolution of leks--clusters of small territories where males congregate and display in order to attract mates--is of central issue in behavioral ecology, because of the insights it offers into female mate choice, sexual selection, and the evolution of mating systems.
The convolution transform includes as special cases such familiar transforms as the Laplace, Fourier-sine, Fourier-cosine, Hankel, Meier, and Weierstrass (or Gauss).
Robin Dunbar uses economic models to explore the social behavior of the gelada baboon (Theropithecus gelada), a unique species, whose social system is one of the most complex among the primates.
This book highlights diverse composting techniques, including vermicomposting, bacterial cellulose-based composting, and inoculum-based solutions, illustrating their role in sustainable waste management and nutrient-rich soil production.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Cognitive Computation and Systems, ICCCS 2025, held in Chengdu, China, November 22–23, 2025.

To ensure sustainable production of pharmaceutically significant active metabolites (from natural sources) with anti-aging properties, biotechnological interventions become the need of the hour when global warming and environmental pollution result in increasing UV radiation and, consequently, sunburn and aging of the tissue.
This book delves into the complexities of genetic inheritance, revealing what happens when scientists, genetic counselors, and parents come together to make decisions that will shape their families' futures.

This contributed book provides a comprehensive exploration of chemical and immunological strategies in cancer therapeutics, emphasizing precision medicine approaches for targeted and effective treatments.
Through an integration of systematics, genetics, and related disciplines, the Modern Synthesis of Evolutionary Biology came into being over fifty years ago.

Covering the behavior and ecology of the northern fur seal, this book is a model long-term study of marine mammals, one that tests theory through both observation of undisturbed behavior and manipulative experiments on individuals.
