Sperm Biology
Sperm Biology represents the first analysis of the evolutionary significance of sperm phenotypes and derived sperm traits and the possible selection pressures responsible for sperm-egg coevolution. An understanding of sperm evolution is fast developing and promises to shed light on many topics from basic reproductive biology to the evolutionary process itself as well as the sperm proteome, the sperm genome and the quantitative genetics of sperm. The Editors have identified 15 topics of current interest and biological significance to cover all aspects of this bizarre, fascinating and important subject. It comprises the most comprehensive and up-to-date review of the evolution of sperm and pointers for future research, written by experts in both sperm biology and evolutionary biology. The combination of evolution and sperm is a potent mix, and this is the definitive account. - The first review survey of this emerging field - Written by experts from a broad array of disciplines from the physiological and biomedical to the ecological and evolutionary - Sheds light on the intricacies of reproduction and the coevolution of sperm, egg and reproductive behavior
The Complete Insect
A beautifully illustrated exploration of the world’s most extraordinary animals With an astounding 3.5 million species occupying virtually every habitat on Earth, insects are one of the most diverse groups of animals on the planet, from the humble bee to the agile praying mantis. Taking you inside the extraordinary world of insects, The Complete Insect explores all aspects of the natural history of these remarkable creatures, providing a close-up look at their fascinating anatomy, physiology, evolution, ecology, behavior, and more. It features hundreds of stunning color photographs and illustrations and draws on a broad range of examples, from familiar ants to iridescent jewel beetles. A c...
Molecular Capture
How computer animation technologies became vital visualization tools in the life sciences Who would have thought that computer animation technologies developed in the second half of the twentieth century would become essential visualization tools in today’s biosciences? This book is the first to examine this phenomenon. Molecular Capture reveals how popular media consumption and biological knowledge production have converged in molecular animations—computer simulations of molecular and cellular processes that immerse viewers in the temporal unfolding of molecular worlds—to produce new regimes of seeing and knowing. Situating the development of this technology within an evolving field o...
Evolutionary Behavioral Ecology
Evolutionary Behavioral Ecology presents a comprehensive treatment of theevolutionary and ecological processes shaping behavior across a wide array of organisms and a diverse set of behaviors and is suitable as a graduate-level text and as a sourcebook for professional scientists.

Cryopreservation of Fish Gametes
Understanding the reproductive physiology and endocrinology of fishes is essential for captive maturation and seed production in the field of aquaculture. Studying the spermatology of fishes is a comparatively new focus in aquaculture, which has emerged as an important area of fish research over the past two decades. In this regard, the cryopreservation of fish gametes is a crucial aspect. Moreover, energetics studies of gametes have become essential, considering the loss of vigour in the spermatozoa after cryopreservation.The latest development in this context is the cryopreservation of spermatogonial stem cell, which is also covered in the book, along with detailed information on embryo cr...
Dr. Tatjana weet raad
Alles over seks bij dier en mens verklaart door seksexpert dr. Tatjana. Informatief. Onderhoudend. Toegankelijk. Wetenschappelijk. Spitsvondig. Beste Dr. Tatjana ́s is een verzameling grappige biologielessen in de vorm van brieven aan en antwoorden van dé expert op seksgebied: dr. Tatjana. In een combinatie van praktische adviezen en wetenschappelijke informatie, beantwoordt dit alterego van Olivia Judson openhartige, bezorgde en bizarre vragen van dieren. Haar antwoorden bieden inzicht in biologische en evolutionaire achtergronden van de seksualiteit bij dier en mens: seksuele selectie en reproductie; en naast alledaagse kwesties, beladen onderwerpen als verkrachting, homoseksualiteit, promiscuïteit, bestialiteit en necrofilie. Olivia Judson is evolutiebioloog. Zij publiceert in The Economist, Nature en de Times Higher Education Science Supplement. Thans doet zij onderzoek aan de Imperial College in Londen.
