The publication of the extensive 7-volume work Comprehensive
Molecular Insect Science provided library customers and their
end-users with a complete reference encompassing important
developments and achievements in modern insect science, including
reviews on the ecdysone receptor, lipocalins, and bacterial toxins.
One of the most popular areas in entomology is control, and this
derivative work, Insect Control, taps into a previously
unapproached market - the end user who desires to purchase a
comprehensive yet affordable work on important aspects of this
topic. Contents will include timeless articles covering insect
growth- and development-disrupting insecticides, mechanisms and use
of Bacillus thuringiensis, biology and genomics of polydnaviruses,
pheromones: function and use in insect control, and more. New
summaries for each chapter will give an overview of developments in
the related article since its original publication.
This series of volumes represents a comprehensive and integrated
treatment of reproduction in vertebrates from fishes of all sorts
through mammals. It is designed to provide a readable, coordinated
description of reproductive basics in each group of vertebrates as
well as an introduction to the latest trends in reproductive
research and our understanding of reproductive events. Whereas each
chapter and each volume is intended to stand alone as a review of
that topic or vertebrate group, respectively, the volumes are
prepared so as to provide a thorough topical treatment across the
vertebrates. Terminology has been standardized across the volumes
to reduce confusion where multiple names exist in the literature,
and a comprehensive glossary of these terms and their alternative
names is provided.

"Stream Ecosystems in a Changing Environment" synthesizes current
understanding in stream ecosystem ecology, emphasizing nutrient
cycling and carbon dynamics, and provides a forward-looking
perspective regarding the response of stream ecosystems to
environmental change. Stream ecosystem ecology has undergone major
advances in the past decade following a series of high-profile and
innovative research initiatives focusing on nutrient cycling and
metabolism. Each chapter includes a section focusing on anticipated
and ongoing dynamics in stream ecosystems in a changing
environment, and hypotheses regarding controls on stream ecosystem
functioning. These innovative sections provide a bridge between
papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and
researchers development of new ideas areas of study.
Provides a synthesis of the latest findings on stream ecosystems
ecology in one volumeIncludes thought exercises and discussion
activities throughout, providing valuable tools for learningOffers
conceptual models and hypotheses to stimulate conversation and
serve to advance research"
Thymosins, the latest volume in the Vitamins and Hormones series,
first published in 1943, and the longest-running serial published
by Academic Press, provides up-to-date information on thymosins
research that spans new data from molecular biology to the clinic.
Each volume can focus on a single molecule or a disease that is
related to vitamins or hormones, with the topic broadly
interprested to include related substances, such as transmitters,
cytokines, growth factors, and others reviewed.
The Zebrafish: Genetics, Genomics, and Transcriptomics, Fourth
Edition, is the latest volume in the Methods in Cell Biology series
that looks at methods for the analysis of genetics, genomics, and
transcriptomics of Zebrafish. Chapters cover such topics as
gene-trap mutagenesis, genetic Screens for mutations, gene editing
in zebrafish, homologous gene targeting, genome-wide RNA
tomography, and developmental epigenetics and the zebrafish
interactome.
Animal keepers have developed innovative ways to help zoo animals
learn and grow. Learn how zookeepers keep animals healthy and happy
with this fun and informative book. Created in collaboration with
the Smithsonian Institution, this STEAM book will ignite a
curiosity about STEAM topics through real-world examples. It
features a hands-on STEAM challenge that is perfect for makerspaces
and that guides students step-by-step through the engineering
design process. Make STEAM career connections with career advice
from actual Smithsonian employees working in STEAM fields. This
book builds young readers' foundational literacy skills and is
ideal for 1st grade students or children ages 5-7.
Non-Bovine Milk and Milk Products presents a compiled and renewed
vision of the knowledge existing as well as the emerging challenges
on animal husbandry and non-cow milk production, technology,
chemistry, microbiology, safety, nutrition, and health, including
current policies and practices. Non-bovine milk products are an
expanding means of addressing nutritional and sustainable food
needs around the world. While many populations have integrated
non-bovine products into their diets for centuries, as consumer
demand and acceptance have grown, additional opportunities for
non-bovine products are emerging. Understanding the proper chain of
production will provide important insight into the successful
growth of this sector. This book is a valuable resource for those
involved in the non-cow milk sector, e.g. academia, research
institutes, milk producers, dairy industry, trade associations,
government, and policy makers.
