This book focuses on the use of molecular tools to study small
populations of rare and endangered mammals, and presents case
studies that apply an evolutionary framework to address innovative
questions in the emerging field of mammalian conservation genomics
using a highly diverse set of novel molecular tools. Novel and more
precise molecular technologies now allow experts in the field of
mammology to interpret data in a more contextual and empirical
fashion and to better describe the evolutionary and ecological
processes that are responsible for the patterns they observe. The
book also demonstrates how recent advances in genetic/genomic
technologies have been applied to assess the impact of
environmental/anthropogenic changes on the health of small
populations of mammals. It examines a range of issues in the field
of mammalian conservation genomics, such as the role that the
genetic diversity of the immune system plays in disease protection
and local adaptation; the use of noninvasive techniques and genomic
banks as a resource for monitoring and restoring populations; the
structuring of population by physical barriers; and genetic
diversity. Further, by integrating research from a variety of areas
- including population genetics, molecular ecology, systematics,
and evolutionary and conservation biology - it enables readers to
gain a deeper understanding of the conservation biology of mammals
that are at increasing risk of extinction at local, regional and
global scales. As such, it offers a unique resource for a broad
readership interested in the conservation biology of mammals and
conservation management strategies to better preserve biodiversity.

This book provides new insights into the social behavior of bats -
one of the most fascinating topics currently being pursued by
researchers. After an introduction reviewing the history of
research in bat behavioral ecology, it covers three major themes:
bat sociality per se (Part I), bat communication (Part II), and
ecological aspects (Part III). Part I offers a concise overview of
the social organization and systems of bats, introducing readers to
the complexity and dynamics of group structures. Part II is devoted
to the innovative field of social communication, focusing on bat
songs, dialects and calls. Part III discusses the influence of the
environment on bat behavior, particularly with regard to roosting
and foraging. This book addresses the needs of researchers working
in behavioral sciences, evolution and ecology.

Menos del 30% de la superficie de nuestro planeta es tierra y no
toda puede ser utilizada por el hombre. Por otra parte, los usos
del suelo son el elemento mas cambiante y dinamico de todo lo que
integra la estructura urbana, motivo por el cual constituye un
recurso natural valioso, en consecuencia es importante tener una
vision y manejo racional del uso del suelo y la ocupacion del
espacio geografico. En lo que a la ciudad de Monteria se refiere,
desde los ultimos quince anos se percibe una fuerte tendencia de
crecimiento y expansion urbana que ha generado una serie de
conflictos de orden estructural y funcional sobre su malla. Con la
presente investigacion se busca dar respuesta a que factores
economicos, sociales y urbanos ayudan a comprender la dinamica
espacial y los impactos economicos de los usos del suelo en la zona
norte de Monteria, a partir del analisis de tres variables: cambio
de usos de los suelos, estructura urbana y oferta inmobiliaria. La
poblacion meta a la que va dirigido este libro se centra en los
profesionales del analisis espacial y el urbanismo, incluyendo
geografos, arquitectos, urbanistas, planificadores regionales,
entre otros."
