Diversity and Evolution of Fungal Pathogens and Parasites
Diversity and Evolution of Fungal Pathogens and Parasites presents an overview of the biodiversity and complexity of fungal communities that form associations as parasites or pathogens. With only 138,000 described species of fungi and an estimated number of up to 6.1 million, the Kingdom of Fungi is severely understudied. Among the least studied groups are the ones associated with other organisms as parasites and pathogens. Written by an international team of more than 30 research experts, this book introduces devastating diseases such as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Pseudogymnoascus destructans, which both have resulted in dramatic population declines of animal populations, specifical...
50 Years of Bat Research
With more than 1,400 species, bats are an incredibly diverse and successful group of mammals that can serve as model systems for many unique evolutionary adaptations. Flight has allowed them to master the sky, while echolocation enables them to navigate in the dark. Being small, secretive, nocturnal creatures has made bats a challenge to study, but over the past 50 years, innovative research has made it possible to dispel some of the mystery and myth surrounding them to give us a better understanding of the role these animals play in the ecosystem. The structure of the book is based on several broad themes across the biological sciences, including the evolution of bats, their ecology and behavior, and conservation of biodiversity. Within these themes are more specific topics on important aspects of bat research, such as morphology, molecular biology, echolocation, taxonomy, systematics, threats to bats, social structure, reproduction, movements, and feeding strategies. Given its scope, the book will appeal to the wider scientific community, environmental organizations, and government policymakers who are interested in the interdisciplinary aspects of biology and nature.
Biological Invasions and Global Insect Decline
Biological Invasions and Global Insect Decline offers the most updated knowledge on how invasive alien species affect insect diversity worldwide. The book provides ongoing research and the most relevant information, covering the main aspects of the impact of biological invasions as well as future insights on mitigation and consequences. It discusses how the introduction of all kinds of organisms, from bacteria and plants to vertebrates, affect current declines in insect diversity. The latter portion of the book delves into existent and future monitoring and management programs, including citizen science and regenerative ecology as socio-ecological solutions to combat these threats. Written a...

Podcast Studies
Podcast Studies: Practice into Theory critically examines the emergent field of podcasting in academia, revealing its significant impact on scholarly communication and approaches to research and knowledge creation. This collection presents in-depth analyses from scholars who have integrated podcasting into their academic pursuits. The book systematically explores the medium's implications for teaching, its effectiveness in reaching broader audiences, and its role in reshaping the dissemination of academic work. Covering a spectrum of disciplines, the contributors detail their engagement with podcasting, providing insight into its use as both a research tool and an object of analysis, thereby...
Insekten bestimmen: Die Welt der Insekten im Wald und Terrarium
Dieser praktische Insektenführer bietet einen umfassenden Einblick in die faszinierende Welt der Insekten. Das Bestimmungsbuch für heimische Insekten verbindet wissenschaftliche Grundlagen mit praktischer Anwendung. Der erste Teil widmet sich den entomologischen Grundlagen: Von der detaillierten Anatomie der Gliederfüße über Entwicklungsstadien bis hin zu evolutionären Anpassungen werden alle wichtigen Aspekte behandelt. Besonders die Beschreibung der verschiedenen Flügeltypen und Sinnesorgane hilft bei der späteren Bestimmung. Im Bereich Lebensräume und Ökologie lernen Leser die vielfältigen Habitate der Krabbeltiere in Feld, Wald und Wiese kennen. Das Buch erklärt die komplexen...
Operate with Fungi
Auf ein Neues! Nach „Mind the Fungi“ (2020) und „Engage with Fungi“ (2022) folgt nun mit „Operate with Fungi“ das letzte Buch einer Trilogie, welche sich der Welt der Pilze und ihren Möglichkeiten widmet. In allen drei Projekten arbeiteten verschiedene wissenschaftliche, künstlerische und zivilgesellschaftliche Akteur_innen aus dem Berliner Raum in unterschiedlichen Konstellationen miteinander, um vom Leben der Funga zu lernen, um sich von den Möglichkeiten der Pilzbiotechnologie inspirieren zu lassen und darauf aufbauend gemeinschaftlich neue pilzbasierte Biomaterialien zu entwickeln, die die Grundlage für eine kreislauffähige und biobasierte Wirtschaft und Architektur bild...
