Описание: Ecology is indispensable to understanding the biological world and addressing environmental problems humanity faces. Its philosophy has never been more important. This book introduces the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological issues ecology poses in accessible language, and is illustrated with scientifically informed, up-to-date examples.

Описание: In this unique amalgam of neuroscience, genetics and evolutionary psychology, Ryan argues that leftists and rightists are biologically distinct versions of the human species that came into being at different moments in human evolution.
Описание: This book discusses oxidative stress and hormesis from the perspective of an evolutionary ecologist or physiologist. The author illustrates how oxidative stress and hormesis have shaped diversity in organism life-histories, behavioral profiles, morphological phenotypes, and aging mechanisms.

Описание: Predator-prey interactions are ubiquitous, govern the flow of energy up trophic levels, and strongly influence the structure of ecological systems. They are typically quantified using the functional response - the relationship between a predator`s foraging rate and the availability of food.
Описание: The North Carolina barrier islands, a 325-mile-long string of narrow sand islands that forms the coast of North Carolina, are one of the most beloved areas to live and visit in the United States. However, extensive barrier island segments and their associated wetlands are in jeopardy. In The Battle for North Carolina's Coast, four experts on coastal dynamics examine issues that threaten this national treasure.
According to the authors, the North Carolina barrier islands are not permanent. Rather, they are highly mobile piles of sand that are impacted by sea-level rise and major storms and hurricanes. Our present development and management policies for these changing islands are in direct conflict with their natural dynamics. Revealing the urgency of the environmental and economic problems facing coastal North Carolina, this essential book offers a hopeful vision for the coast's future if we are willing to adapt to the barriers' ongoing and natural processes. This will require a radical change in our thinking about development and new approaches to the way we visit and use the coast. Ultimately, we cannot afford to lose these unique and valuable islands of opportunity. This book is an urgent call to protect our coastal resources and preserve our coastal economy.

Описание: Infectious disease outbreaks result in mortality or morbidity of many humans and wild and domestic animals and plants. Many a time that leads to large-scale economic and socio-cultural losses. However, exposure to pathogens does not always lead to infections or the spread of diseases since diverse factors are involved in the manifestation of diseases. The infectious organisms that cause diseases and the host are a part of the multidimensional biodiversity and a quintessential part of the ecological web. Hence, a manifestation of an infectious disease is through a chain of events that favor high contact of the pathogenic species with the host species, directly or indirectly, or through intermediate hosts/vectors. This context makes it important to recognize that preservation of natural habitats possibly has a direct bearing on public health since habitats with high biological diversity have the potential for checks and balances of population growth and could curtail disease transmission and the manifestation of diseases in many a case. Besides, diverse and heterogeneous (and largely anthropogenic) issues such as rapid urbanization, sprawling inroads into natural habitats, increasing human-animal conflicts, decreasing environmental quality, languid waste disposal systems, rising contamination/pollution of the natural systems, increasingly unwholesome lifestyle, etc. makes the condition much more complex.
This book addresses human diseases from a wider and holistic perspective, especially looking at morbidity from an ecological viewpoint. It also looks at infections from an evolutionary perspective. These perspectives, although known, are largely neglected in healthcare systems in vogue. Such a perspective would be an eye-opener for the healthcare providers, and the public at the receiving end of the increasingly expensive healthcare services.
