The Dusky Dolphin
The Dusky Dolphin: Master Acrobat Off Different Shores covers various topics about the dusky dolphin, including its taxonomy, history and demography, ecology, and behavior. After introducing the dusky dolphin as a member of the genus Lagenorhynchus under the family Delphinidae, the book continues by describing its life history, its demographic patterns, and its role in the food web considering predation, parasitism, and competition. The book also includes chapters that discuss the interaction of the dusky dolphin with its habitats, such as the dusky dolphin's sound production, its foraging at night and in daylight, its survival strategies in response to predator threats, the mating habits of...

How to be a Quantitative Ecologist
Ecological research is becoming increasingly quantitative, yet students often opt out of courses in mathematics and statistics, unwittingly limiting their ability to carry out research in the future. This textbook provides a practical introduction to quantitative ecology for students and practitioners who have realised that they need this opportunity. The text is addressed to readers who haven't used mathematics since school, who were perhaps more confused than enlightened by their undergraduate lectures in statistics and who have never used a computer for much more than word processing and data entry. From this starting point, it slowly but surely instils an understanding of mathematics, st...

New Insights into Microbial Ecology through Subtle Nucleotide Variation
The 16S ribosomal RNA gene commonly serves as a molecular marker for investigating microbial community composition and structure. Vast amounts of 16S rRNA amplicon data generated from environmental samples thanks to the recent advances in sequencing technologies allowed microbial ecologists to explore microbial community dynamics over temporal and spatial scales deeper than ever before. However, widely used methods for the analysis of bacterial communities generally ignore subtle nucleotide variations among high-throughput sequencing reads and often fail to resolve ecologically meaningful differences between closely related organisms in complex microbial datasets. Lack of proper partitioning of the sequencing data into relevant units often masks important ecological patterns. Our research topic contains articles that use oligotyping to demonstrate the importantance of high-resolution analyses of marker gene data, and providides further evidence why microbial ecologists should open the "black box" of OTUs identified through arbitrary sequence similarity thresholds.
Reproductive Biology and Phylogeny of Cetacea: Whales, Porpoises and Dolphins
The order Cetacea comprises some amazing species, representing some of the most evolved creatures that inhabit this earth. Yet, they also represent a group of species for which much remains unknown. There are over 80 species of cetaceans composed of porpoises, dolphins and whales. This volume represents the latest of published and previously unpubl

Visita al padre
“Visita al Padre” (Besuch bei dem Vater) è un’opera pubblicata in Germania nel 2007, vincitrice del Nestroy-Theatrepreis. Racconta la storia di un giovane, Peter, che finalmente incontra il padre, creduto morto e mai conosciuto prima. L’uomo, Heinrich, un intellettuale maturo che da anni lavora a una traduzione del Paradiso perduto di Milton, vive tra legami ambigui, circondato da sole donne. Una storia che si presenta come un brillante e originale sviluppo del tema edipico, quasi una tragedia. Usando Cechov per raccontare una storia di oggi, Schimmelpfennig ragiona sul concetto di memoria e della mancata “eredità” nel rapporto fra due generazioni. Un autore da conoscere e un testo da non perdere.
