Geniale Tiere: Anekdotisches, Bewundernswertes und Erstaunliches aus allen Bereichen unserer Fauna
by Bruno P. Kremer Klaus RicharzVom mikroskopisch kleinen Lebewesen bis zum großen Vierbeiner versetzen uns die meisten Tiere in Erstaunen: Sie können tiefer tauchen, schneller schwimmen, besser laufen oder gar ausdauernd fliegen – physische Leistungsmerkmale, die uns in dieser Perfektion weitgehend fehlen. Noch erstaunlicher sind ihre sensorischen Fähigkeiten: Wer kann schon mit den Ohren sehen oder seine Auserwählte aus einer Distanz von rund 10 km nur mit dem Geruchssinn wahrnehmen? Dieses Buch berichtet über bewundernswerte Eigenheiten und Fähigkeiten von Tieren aller größeren Verwandtschaftsgruppen: Staunen Sie über das reiche Leben zwischen den Sandkörnern des Strandes. Wundern Sie sich über Bienen, die in leeren Schneckenhäusern wohnen. Oder haben Sie je von Tieren gehört, die mit den Füßen fischen? Weitere spannende Themen sind lärmende Meeresfische, dreiäugige Echsen, giftige Vögel und Fledermäuse im Rotlichtmilieu. Mit diesem Wissen wird Ihnen der Gesprächsstoff bei keiner Gelegenheit ausgehen.

Genome Mapping and Genomics in Laboratory Animals
by Chittaranjan Kole Paul DennyMapping of animal genomes has generated huge databases and several new concepts and strategies, which are useful to elucidate origin, evolution and phylogeny. Genetic and physical maps of genomes further provide precise details on chromosomal location, function, expression and regulation of academically and economically important genes. The series Genome Mapping and Genomics in Animals provides comprehensive and up-to-date reviews on genomic research on a large variety of selected animal systems, contributed by leading scientists from around the world. Laboratory animals are those species that by accident of evolution, domestication and selective breeding are amenable to maintenance and study in a laboratory environment. Many of these species are studied as 'models' for the biology and pathology of humans. Laboratory animals included in this volume are sea-urchin, nematode worm, fruit fly, sea squirts, puffer fishes, medaka fish, African clawed frog, mouse and rat.

Gentechnik: Gene lesen, schreiben und editieren (essentials)
by Röbbe WünschiersDieses essential soll als Einführung für eine zeitgemäße öffentliche Diskussion zur Gentechnologie dienen. Die Gentechnik betrifft uns alle in vielen Bereichen und wir müssen uns trauen, bunter und weiter zu denken. Tatsächlich kann bereits das komplette Erbgut von Viren und Bakterien chemisch erzeugt und „zum Leben erweckt“ werden. Mit der Genchirurgie ist die Medizin an einem Scheidepunkt: Wollen wir Erbkrankheiten therapieren oder genetisch „reparieren“? Und die Analyse tausender menschlicher Erbgute fördert Informationen zutage, die mit komplexen Krankheiten, aber auch Merkmalen wie Intelligenz in Verbindung stehen. Wie sollen wir dieses Wissen nutzen? Es stellt sich kaum noch die Frage, ob wir Gentechnik wollen, sondern vielmehr, wie wir sie anwenden.
Gentle Ben

Genuine Risk (Thoroughbred Legends #20)
by Hallie McEvoyShe was a classic diva. Brassy, beautiful, and bold, Genuine Risk did things her way, from taking on the boys on the racetrack to making her owners, caretakers, and fans wait thirteen years before she had a baby. On May 3, 1980, Genuine Risk became the second filly ever to win the Kentucky Derby, and she did it with style, grabbing the lead with a quarter-mile to run and holding it to the finish. In the Preakness she endured a rough trip, including bumping and being hit with another jockey’s whip, only to come up short. A second in the Belmont Stakes gave her the best finish by a filly in all three Triple Crown races. In this newest Thoroughbred Legends volume, author Hallie McEvoy tells Genuine Risk’s compelling story, including the great expectations for her as a mother, the intense disappointment year after year when she failed to produce a foal, and the overwhelming joy when she finally gave birth to a colt named Genuine Reward.
Geo-Spatial Analysis of Forest Landscape for Wildlife Management (GIScience and Geo-environmental Modelling)
by Nilanjana Das Chatterjee Mrinmay MandalThis book presents research on landscape ecology and the relationship between humans and wildlife. It helps readers understand how ecological patterns and processes are interconnected. This research illustrates and proposes (practicable) management strategies toward long-term ecological restoration and mitigation of consequences of conflict. Increasing wildlife activities in localities and forest fringes are an alarming issue. Ecological processes like movement, colonization, extinction and conflict issues depend on the landscape and ecological activities, the movement for example of migratory elephants and their colonization not only affects society but the wildlife and biodiversity too. Strategic management measures can contribute to enriching the biodiversity, habitat quality as well as landscape, while minimizing human-wildlife conflicts. This book describes landscape ecological patterns and processes, habitat dominancy, habitat dependency, suitability, connectivity and corridor selection. To synthesize these patterns and processes, several ecological indices are used. Use of geo-spatial techniques improves future management strategies for similar circumstances, especially, related to forest regeneration and forest restoration. This book provides a concise overview to a wide range of readers including postgraduate students, researcher, academics, landscape planners, decision makers and even local populations. The techniques and management strategies described should help planners to improve forest management, by implementing quality enhancement programs such as plantation area selection and corridor selection.

The essays engage an array of crucial methodologies and critical/theoretical perspectives, including practice-based research in the arts, especially in performance and dance studies, critical theory, ecocriticism, Indigenous knowledges, material feminist critique, quantum field theory, and new phenomenologies. Practice pages are shorter chapters that provide readers a chance to engage creatively with the ideas presented across the collection. This book offers a multidisciplinary perspective that brings together work in performance as research, phenomenology, and dance/movement; this is one of its significant contributions to the area of ecosomatics.The book will be of interest to anyone curious about matters of embodiment, ecology, and the environment, especially artists and students of dance, performance, and somatic movement education who want to learn about ecosomatics and environmental activists who want to learn more about integrating creativity, the arts, and movement into their work.
Geology of National Parks of Central/Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania: Geotourism Of The Gregory Rift Valley, Active Volcanism And Regional Plateaus
by Roger N. ScoonThis book describes the interrelationship between the spectacular geology of an area of East Africa that includes a branch of the rift valley, as well as giant freestanding ice-capped mountains and extraordinarily toxic, alkaline lakes, and some of the greatest concentrations of wildlife on Earth. It suggests that geological processes that have shaped the iconic landforms, including active volcanoes, may also be responsible for the unusually diverse speciation which characterises the region. Moreover, it is not a coincidence that important palaeoanthropological discoveries have been unearthed in the region. National parks and conservation areas have tremendous potential for geotourism and the book assists both tour guides and visitors in this regard. In addition, the book may provide a better understanding to management of the importance of geology for sustaining wildlife.
