Описание: This book provides new insights into the universality of biological systems in animal reproduction and development by a comparative study of a variety of mechanisms in animals ranging from basal invertebrates to vertebrates, including mammals.Animals accomplish genetic diversity through meiosis and fertilization, and during embryogenesis animals must produce specialized cell types, including germ cells, in accordance with their individual body plan. This series of phenomena is essential to the continuity of life in the animal kingdom, and animals show various reproductive and developmental strategies.This volume, comprising four parts, reviews animal kingdom diversity, including reproductive strategies and germ cell differentiation mechanisms (Part 1), sex determination and differentiation (Part2), the mechanisms of fertilization (Part 3), and body axis formation (Part 4). Readers will find descriptions of the reproduction or development of 180 species, 13 phyla, 35 classes, 74 orders, 117 families, and 151 genera in this book. Of particular interest is the diversity of molecules and mechanisms used to achieve the same biological purpose in different animals.Undergraduates, graduate students, and professional scientists who want a deeper understanding of animal reproductive and developmental mechanisms will find this book to be of great value.

Описание: The development of a single fertilized egg into a fly, an elephant, or a human baby is one the most remarkable near-miracles achieved by nature. This Very Short Introduction, written by the distinguished developmental biologist Lewis Wolpert, gives a concise account of, and explores, one of the liveliest areas of scientific research.
Описание: Abstract: Three aspects of the reproductive ecology of the southern and tawny mole crickets, Scapteriscus acletus and vicinus. were investigated. Twenty-two sound fields of calling males were measured under field conditions. Total power output ranged from 1.9 to 22.4 uWatt and was positively correlated with male size and soil moisture. Efficiency of sound production was only 0.02 to 0.16 percent. The shape of the sound field approximates a hemisphere. Lifetime oviposition by caged, individual female mole crickets was monitored outdoors. Oviposition is highly seasonal, and females that mature in the fall wait until the following spring to oviposit. Most eggs are laid in May and June and percent hatch of clutches decreases later in the season. Dry weight of eggs, number of eggs per clutch, and percent hatch decrease with successive clutches from individual females. Average investment in eggs per clutch ranged from 10 to 24 percent of female body weight for acletus and from 5 to 16 percent for vicinus females. Lifetime investment (dry weight of eggs) was greater than 100 percent of female body weight (wet weight) for 6 of 12 acletus females, but only 1 of 8 vicinus females had a lifetime investment in eggs equaling its body weight. In acletus. but not vicinus, large females produced more offspring and the average size of their egg clutches was larger than those of smaller females. Insect size tactics and developmental strategies are discussed in relation to decisions individuals make about when to mature. Such decisions carry with them costs and benefits in terms of an individual's fitness. Whenever size affects reproductive success, selection should act such that individuals evaluate the costs and benefits due to changes in size and mature when the cost/benefit ratio is maximized. Predictions about seasonal changes in adult sizes within a natural population of mole crickets are tested. The changes in seasonal distributions of adult sizes of mole crickets support the predictions and suggest that individuals make decisions about when to mature based on costs and benefits associated with changes in size.

Описание: 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. His work illustrates the value of an approach that views social behavior as being ultimately concerned with reproduction and with the maximizing of an indi

Описание: Highly Commended: Nursery World Awards 2017 Professional Book of the Year Early Childhood and Neuroscience is a practical guide to understanding the complex and challenging subject of neuroscience and its use (and misapplication) in early childhood policy and practice. The author begins by introducing the definition and history of neuroscience. The reader is then led through structured chapters discussing questions such as: Why should practitioners know about neuroscience? How can neuroscience help practitioners better provide for babies and children? and Is it relevant? Topics covered include the nature vs. nurture debate through the lens of neuroscience, epigenetics, the first 1001 days and a discussion on just how critical the first three years of life are to healthy brain development. The book provides a balanced overview of the debates by weaving discussion on the opportunities of using neuroscience in early childhood practice with examination of the limitations and ethical implications throughout the chapters. This enables students to inform their own opinions about the discipline and its use in their future practice. Clear explanations of the main terms and theories are complemented with illustrative case studies of cutting-edge research from around the world, a glossary of key terms and suggestions for further reading. Reflective discussion questions give students the chance to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world contexts. These features encourage and support independent critical thinking, helping students to reflect on, evaluate and analyse a range of ideas, research findings and applications for their own future early childhood practice. Early Childhood and Neuroscience is essential reading for lecturers, undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field as well as for the new practitioner.
