Description
Apple Academic Press Zoology by Brown Margaret
Zoology is the life science that focuses on the study of animals. The field is a large one, with numerous specialists and disciplines attached to it and it is an important field as well, since it expands our understanding of the world in which we live. Zoologists may contribute their studies to animal behaviorists; they may work in zoos or study animals in the wild; some participate in archaeological digs or apply their knowledge to improve raising of animals for food; others are part of cloning experiments or work primarily in labs analyzing the cell biology of animals. The discipline, covering a variety of subfields, may also act as accessory to many related branches of science. This volume contains the latest research and topics in this important field.Selected Contents: A Review of the Correlation of Tergites, Sternites, and Leg Pairs in Diplopods; Asymmetry in Host and Parasitoid Diffuse Coevolution: When the Red Queen has to Keep a Finger in More Than One Pie; Behavioral and Neuroendocrine Consequences of Social Subjugation Across Adolescence and Adulthood; Cardiovascular System in Larval Zebrafish Responds to Developmental Hypoxia in a Family Specific Manner; Clash of Kingdoms or Why Drosophila Larvae Positively Respond to Fungal Competitors; Comparative Performance of the 16S rRNA Gene in DNA Barcoding of Amphibians; Conservation and Co-option in Developmental Programmes: The Importance of Homology Relationships; Control of Annual Reproductive Cycle in the Subtropical House Sparrow (Passer Domesticus): Evidence for Conservation of Photoperiodic Control Mechanisms in Birds; Quantification of Damage in DNA Recovered from Highly Degraded Samples A Case Study on DNA in Faeces; The Complete Sequences and Gene Organisation of the Mitochondrial Genomes of the Heterodont Bivalves Acanthocardia Tuberculata and Hiatella Arctica and the First Record for a Putative Atpase Subunit 8 Gene in Marine Bivalves; The Role of Thermal Niche Selection in Maintenance of a Colour Polymorphism in Redback Salamanders (Plethodon Cinereus); From Descriptive to Predictive Distribution Models: A Working Example with Iberian Amphibians and Reptiles; Functional Neuroanatomy of the Rhinophore of Aplysia Punctata; Genetic Analysis of Male Reproductive Success in Relation to Density in the Zebrafish, Danio Rerio; Homologs of Wingless and Decapentaplegic Display a Complex and Dynamic Expression Profile During Appendage Development in the Millipede Glomeris Marginata (Myriapoda: Diplopoda); Immune Response to Sympatric and Allopatric Parasites in a Snail-Trematode Interaction; Index
