Diffusive Spreading in Nature, Technology and Society, Second Edition

Diffusive Spreading in Nature, Technology and Society, Second Edition by Armin Bunde, Jürgen Caro, Christian Chmelik, Jörg Kärger, Gero Vogl
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 518 Pages | ISBN : 303105945X | 108.4 MB

What do the movements of molecules and the migration of humans have in common? How does the functionality of our brain tissue resemble the flow of traffic in New York City? How can understanding the spread of ideas, rumors, and languages help us tackle the spread a pandemic? This book provides an illuminating look into these seemingly disparate topics by exploring and expertly communicating the fundamental laws that govern the spreading and diffusion of objects. A collection of leading scientists in disciplines as diverse as epidemiology, linguistics, mathematics, and physics discuss various spreading phenomena relevant to their own fields, revealing astonishing similarities and correlations between the objects of study—be they people, particles, or pandemics.

Tropical Fruits and Frugivores: The Search for Strong Interactors

Tropical Fruits and Frugivores: The Search for Strong Interactors by J. Lawrence Dew, Jean Philippe Boubli
English | PDF(True) | 2005 | 262 Pages | ISBN : 1402038321 | 9.5 MB

In this book we undertake one of the first global-scale comparisons of the relationships between tropical plants and frugivorous animal communities, comparing sites within and across continents. In total, 12 primary contributors, including noted plant and animal ecologists, present newly-analyzed long-term datasets on the floristics and phenological rhythms of their study sites, identifying important seed dispersers and key plant taxa that sustain animal communities in Africa, Madagascar, Australasia, and the Neotropics.

Problematic Wildlife: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach

Problematic Wildlife: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach

Problematic Wildlife: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach by Francesco M. Angelici
English | PDF | 2016 | 610 Pages | ISBN : 3319222457 | 12.9 MB

This book provides insight into the instances in which wildlife species can create problems. Some species trigger problems for human activities, but many others need humans to save them and to continue to exist. The text addresses issues faced by economists and politicians dealing with laws involving actions undertaken to resolve the problems of the interaction between humans and wildlife. Here, the words ‘problematic species’ are used in their broadest sense, as may be appreciated in the short introductions to the various sections. At times, the authors discuss special cases while always extending the discussion into a more general and broad vision. At others, they present real cutting-edge analysis of ecological topics and issues.

Water Bears: The Biology of Tardigrades by Ralph O. Schill
English | PDF | 2018 | 418 Pages | ISBN : 3319957015 | 16.2 MB

Offering extensive information on tardigrades, this volume begins with a chapter on the history of tardigrades, from the first description by Goeze in 1773, until 1929, when the most comprehensive monographic approach by E. Marcus was published. Tardigrades’ organ systems, including their integument, body cavity, digestive, muscular, nervous and reproductive systems, as well as their overall external morphology, are summarized in the second chapter. Subsequent chapters present the current state of knowledge on tardigrade phylogeny, biogeography, paleontology, cytology and cytogenetics. In addition, the book provides insights into the ecology of tardigrades in marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats.
