Body fluid regulation is pivotal to human health and is served by
extensive clinical and pre-clinical science. By combining modern
advances with previous findings in the field, this book presents a
comprehensive treatment of major experiments, theories, and new
advances in the field of body fluid regulation, thirst, and
drinking. It features the main integrative brain mechanisms for
fluid regulation, the development of such systems, fluid balance
during heat and exercise, aging and clinical disorders, and
comparative aspects of fluid regulation. The volume focuses on
mammalian thirst or drinking behaviour alongside relevant aspects
of the physiology of fluid balance. The principal fluid
compartments and their regulation by both intakes and losses are
highlighted, using both human and animal studies to illustrate the
main concepts.
Advances in Insect Physiology, Volume 61 highlights new advances in
the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on
a variety of timely topics, including Acoustic signaling in
Orthoptera, Sound production in Drosophila melanogaster, and
Communication by surface borne mechanical waves in insects.
Advances in Arthropod Repellents offers the most current knowledge
on arthropod repellents. This area of study is quickly evolving as
mosquito- and tick-borne diseases become more prevalent worldwide.
Written by global arthropod repellent experts, this book begins by
delving into molecule discovery and assay development that is
followed by the latest research and investigations of repellent
developments and effects. The book then offers readers a look into
the global field, semi-field, and laboratory trials using various
insect repellents, ranging from Africa, Australia, Europe, South
America and the United States. Lastly, it examines the future of
spatial repellents and expert insight. This book is a valuable
resource for entomologists and vector control researchers and
practitioners. Public health officials and developers in private
pest control companies, as well as readers in academia will find
this a useful resource to learn the latest information available on
controlling the spread of arthropod-borne diseases with repellents.
