Network-Centric Collaboration and Supporting Frameworks
Collaborative Networks is a fast developing area, as shown by the already large number of diverse real-world implemented cases and the dynamism of its related involved research community. Being recognized as the most focused scientific and technical conference on Collaborative Networks, PRO-VE continues to offer the opportunity for presentation and discussion of both the latest research developments as well as the practical application case studies.
The Boreal Owl
Widespread in North American forest regions including the Rocky Mountains, the Boreal Owl (Aegolius funereus) was once the most numerous predatory bird in Eurasian boreal forests. Synthesising the results of unique long-term studies of Boreal Owls, this book explores hunting modes, habitats and foods, prey interactions, mating and parental care, reproduction, dispersal, survival and mortality, population regulation and conservation in boreal forests. Providing a detailed introduction to the species, the authors study the complex interactions of Boreal Owls with their prey species. They examine the inter-sexual tug-of-war over parental care, and the behavioural and demographic adaptations to environmental conditions that predictably and markedly fluctuate both seasonally and multi-annually. They also question whether Boreal Owls are able to time their reproductive effort to maximise lifetime reproductive success. Discussing the effect of modern forestry practices on owl populations, the book also examines how Boreal Owls could be managed to sustain viable populations.

The Nature of Sex
Thought about sex today? Of course you have! It's about the most natural thing any animal can do. But have you ever wondered how human sex compares to that of other beasts? It's far from merely inserting part A into slot B. The sex lives of our animal cousins are fiendishly difficult, infinitely varied and often violent. They involve razor-sharp penises, murderous cannibals and chemical warfare in an epic battle between the sexes. Join renowned biologist Dr Carin Bondar on a fascinating journey from puberty to old age across the entire animal kingdom - it will forever change your idle daydreams about the nature of sex.

Veenkoirasta vaakalintuun
Vaikka kansallisepoksemme Kalevala on käännetty yli kuudellekymmenelle eri kielelle ja siitä on muokattu lukuisia eri kirjallisuuden ja kuvataiteen muotoja, niin kansalliseepoksemme eläimistöä ei ole laajasti käsitelty kirjallisuudessa. Nyt Kalevalan eläimillä on kirja, jonka kuviin ja tarinoihin toivomme kaiken ikäisten lukijoiden löytävän.
Tappajat
Ennennäkemätön kertomus suurpetojen elämästä. Miltä maailma näyttää suurpetojen silmin? Voimmeko nähdä suurpedoissa oman tulevaisuutemme? Kertomus elämästä suuren susilauman reviirillä luontokadon ja ilmastonmuutoksen myllätessä ympärillä. Ihmisen menestys lajina rakentuu ylivertaiseen kykyyn tappaa muita, mutta tarve hallinnoida ympäristöä muodostaa elämän olemassaololle valtavan uhkan. Uudella tekniikalla otetut valokuvat ovat ennennäkemätön näyteikkuna suurpetojen arkeen piilossa katseiltamme. Antti Haataja on suurpetoihin, luontokatoon, ilmastonmuutokseen ja pohjoiseen luontoon erikoistunut tietokirjailija ja valokuvaaja. Hän sai Lauri Jäntin tietokirjapalkinnon vuonna 2019 teoksesta Pohjoinen ja kunniamaininnan WWF:n vuoden luontokirjakilpailussa vuonna 2018 arvoteoksesta Tuulessa roihuaa maa.
