Applied Environmental Genomics
DNA is the essence of life and the original ‘big data’. New technologies are allowing scientists to access and make sense of this information like never before, and they are using it to solve the world’s greatest environmental challenges. Applied Environmental Genomics synthesises the latest and most exciting uses of genomic technologies for environmental science and management. With an emphasis on diversity of applications and real-world demonstrations, leading researchers have contributed detailed chapters on innovative approaches to obtaining critical management-relevant information about the natural world. These chapters are complemented by perspective sections written by environmental managers who describe their experiences using genomics to support evidence-based decisions. Ideal for students, researchers and professionals working in natural resource management and policy, Applied Environmental Genomics is a comprehensive introduction to a fast-moving field that is transforming the practice of environmental management, with profound relevance to industry, government and the public.

Examining Energy and the Environment around the World
This volume addresses ten issues pertaining to energy and the environment, such as climate change, fossil fuels, endangered species, and renewable energy, and examines how these issues are affecting countries around the world. In the industrial age, first powered by coal and then more often by oil, environmental degradation nearly inevitably followed resource exploitation and energy production. This book examines environmental issues in specific countries around the world as well as solutions some of these countries have discovered in order to help save the environment. This volume includes 10 chapters, each addressing a specific issue relating to energy and the environment as it pertains to a variety of countries, including toxic chemicals, pollution, deforestation, and climate change. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the issue. Following the chapter introduction, each chapter highlights that issue in eight countries and provides historic perspective. This work provides an overview for high school students and college students at the undergraduate level on 10 important topics that address matters relating to energy and the environment in the 21st century.
Climate Change
This three-volume set presents entries and primary sources that will impress on readers that what we do—or don't do—today regarding climate change will dramatically influence what life on this planet will be like for untold numbers of generations. How are the behaviors of birds, butterflies, and other migratory animals connected to climate change? What does the term "thermal inertia" mean, and what does this geophysical effect have on predicting what the planet's future will be like? What is the context for the effects we are seeing on various forms of animal life, from migrating birds to polar bears to mosquitoes that transmit Zika and other diseases? Climate Change: An Encyclopedia of ...

Hembras
Un deslumbrante mazazo al sexismo en la ciencia: Lucy Cooke echa por tierra una concepción errónea y obsoleta sobre la feminidad animal. «La teoría de la selección sexual de Darwin se incubó en un contexto de misoginia, por lo que no tiene nada de extraño que la hembra animal saliera deforme, tan marginada e incomprendida como un ama de casa victoriana.» En las últimas décadas, la zoología y la biología evolutiva han revolucionado nuestra percepción de lo que significa ser una hembra. Este libro habla de esa revolución. Lucy Cooke se embarca en una vasta aventura para conocer de primera mano los estudios que están ayudando a reescribir una visión patriarcal y obsoleta de la e...
Brennpunkte der Evolution
Ob Mammuts, Höhlenbären oder Tyrannosaurier: Längst verschwundene Tierwelten geben preis, wie sie sich entfalteten und bedeutsam wurden - und warum sie untergingen. Auch zum Aufstieg der Vögel und der Säugetiere gibt es unerwartete Neuigkeiten. Wie Evolution "agiert", beobachten Forscher an Wirbeltieren inzwischen sogar live. Dabei sind die Molekularbiologie, die Biochemie und die Biophysik nicht mehr wegzudenkende Werkzeuge der Paläontologen. Das Sonderheft "Brennpunkte der Evolution" fasst die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Evolutionsforschung der letzten Jahre zusammen.
