Manejo y conservación de fauna en ambientes antropizados
El interés científico por comprender, reducir o revertir estas afectaciones ha resultado en numerosas acciones de manejo para lograr la conservación biológica de especies nativas tanto en ambientes urbanos como naturales. Con base en el análisis de las actividades mencionadas, en este libro se presenta una serie de propuestas de manejo que han favorecido la conservación de la fauna, las cuales provienen de la experiencia directa de los autores o de revisiones de literatura, e identifican factores y actores clave que deben ser tomados en cuenta por el lector al implementar medidas de conservación para el manejo de fauna en ambientes antropizados.

Blue-Footed Boobies
"Aggressive competition between sibling chicks differs between blue-footed and brown boobies. In a brood of two blue-foot chicks, the senior one (four days older) maintains dominance over the three-month nestling period by daily low-level attacking, ensuring privileged growth and survival for itself by limiting junior's begging and feeding. Both blue-foot siblings often survive and fledge, but when parents provide insufficient food, senior increases its aggression and junior starves to death or gets killed by adult neighbors while seeking adoption in their nests. In contrast, brown booby parents bring less food to their broods and their senior chicks are unconditionally intolerant and violent; they attack their sibling at every opportunity and toss it out of the nest, to certain death. The behavioral roles of booby family members - including conditional sharing, siblicide, and parental passivity - are explained by Hamilton's theory of inclusive fitness and kin selection, which also applies to humans"--

New Developments in the Biology of Chrysomelidae
This book summarizes what is actually known about the biology of Leaf Beetles. It is the most recent study in the field. As we are well aware, Chrysomelidae, one of the three largest families of beetles, are of great economic importance since they can be a serious pest to crops or, on the other hand, can be used to destroy imported weeds. This is due to the selectivity of their feeding preferences. In this way, Chrysomelidae are an invaluable tool for studying plant selection mechanisms. The many and varied topics dealt with in this book cover almost all aspects of phylogeny, classification, paleontology, parasitology, biogeography, defenses, population biology, genetics and biological contr...
