Behavioural Responses to a Changing World
Species are typically adapted to the local environmental conditions in which they have evolved.

Biological Invasions and Animal Behaviour
This book provides a comprehensive look at the critical role of animal behaviour in the success and impact of biological invasions.
Fish Behaviour
Fishes are by far the most species-rich vertebrate taxon, and it is also the vertebrate group with the most strikingly diverse repertoire of behaviours and behavioural adaptations. As such, they provide us with many opportunities to explore the fascinating complexities of animal behaviour. Central questions addressed in this book include: How do se
Process Metaphysics and Mutative Life
This book provides a survey of key process-philosophical approaches that, in conversation with selected concepts across the biological and physical sciences, help us to think about living processes, or ‘lived time,’ at different scales of functioning. The first part is written from an opening perspective on the question of the differing scales of analysis provided by Alfred North Whitehead. In particular, his interest in questions arising from the quantum mechanical reconciliation with classical mechanics informs the first two chapters that address problematic categorizations of life as variously ‘despotic,’ ‘invasive,’ or as primitive (in the radically more-than-human case of mi...
The Domesticated Penis
"The Domesticated Penis is the first anthropological history of the penis, incorporating evidence from evolutionary theory, primatology, archaeology, and cultural anthropology"--
Animal Welfare and International Environmental Law
At a time when the planet’s wildlife faces countless dangers, international environmental law continues to overlook its evolving welfare interests. This thought-provoking book provides a crucial exploration of how international environmental law must adapt to take account of the growing recognition of the intrinsic value of wildlife.
Conservation Behavior
An in-depth analysis of the impact conservation behaviour can have to develop practical tools to safeguard against biodiversity extinction.
Evolutionary Ecology of Amphibians
Amphibians are the oldest tetrapod group and show an astonishing diversity in lifestyles, many of them being unique. However, globally, they are on a decline. Hence, their study is fundamental to understanding the evolution of diversity and conserving them. This book, authored by experts from around the world, summarizes the current knowledge on the evolutionary ecology of amphibians. The book treats biological concepts related to the evolution, ecology, physiology, immunology, behaviour, and morphology of amphibians in their different states. This book constitutes an actualized work indispensable for evolutionary ecologists and herpetologists.
A Treatise on Ecological Science
A Treatise on Ecological Science provides a fresh perspective on modern ecological thought by exploring topics often overlooked in traditional ecological texts. The book opens with a discussion of Network Ecology, unraveling the interconnectedness of ecosystems, and transitions to the intricate relationship between biodiversity and climate change. It further addresses Human Ecology, highlighting its central role in shaping ecological discourse, and explores the principles of Industrial Ecology, emphasizing sustainable practices in industrial systems. The final chapter critically examines the Sustainable Development Goals, offering a balanced view of their benefits and limitations. Designed to bridge gaps between ecology, industry, and global sustainability, this book serves as an insightful resource for students, researchers, and policymakers interested in contemporary ecological science and its practical applications. Key Features: - Examines underexplored topics in ecological science. - Connects biodiversity, climate change, and human ecology. - Highlights the role of industrial ecology in sustainability. - Provides a critical analysis of Sustainable Development Goals.
