California Amphibians and How to Find Them

A curious exploration of mortality, alienation, boredom, surveillance and how we regard ourselves among the animals.Animal Stories&nbsp;begins with Kate Zambreno's visit to the monkey house at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, where one stark tree 'seems to be the stage design for a simian production of Waiting for Godot'. But who are the players and who is the audience, and can they recognise each other?What follows is a series of reports from the deep strangeness of the zoo, a space that is 'more often than not deeply sad, an odd choice for regular pilgrimages of fun'. Amid these excursions with their young children, Zambreno turns to Garry Winogrand's photographs and John Berger's writings on animals, reshaping the spectator as the subject to decipher our complex 'zoo feelings' - what we project, and what we refuse to see. In 'My Kafka System', which dovetails with these zoo studies, Zambreno thinks through the notebooks and animal stories of a writer known for playing at the threshold between species, continuing their investigation into the false divide between human and animal.In writing that is inquisitive and inventive, Zambreno renders visible the enclosures we construct and those we occupy ourselves.

Animal Stories

This textbook on animal behavior is designed for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in veterinary science, animal science, and zoology and offers an integrated view of behavioral biology, bridging classical ethology, cognitive neuroscience, and ecological adaptation with practical veterinary applications. The initial chapters provide foundational aspects such as orientation, motivation, and communication before moving into core themes of learned behavior, cognition, social dynamics, reproduction, and courtship. It further addresses applied behavioral contexts in veterinary practice, including stress and welfare indicators, the impact of hormones and drugs, and human-animal interactions. The final sections explore ecological and evolutionary behavior, including movement, habitat selection, and behavioral responses to altered ecosystems. Emphasizing both theoretical depth and practical application, the book provides students and professionals with a modern, interdisciplinary perspective on the role of behavior in animal health, welfare, and survival. Key feature: 1) Provides an overview of animal behavior, covering foundational principles, learning and cognition, social dynamics, reproductive strategies, and ecological interactions. 2) Addresses complex behavioural phenomena such as social dominance, reproductive strategies, maternal investment, altruism, and host-parasite interactions within both naturalistic and managed settings 3) Explains the evolutionary and physiological basis of behaviour, drawing upon current understanding in genetics, endocrinology, neuroethology, and environmental biology 4) Examines behavioural responses to environmental pressures, including migration, habitat selection, anthropogenic disturbance, and ecosystem alterations 5) Incorporates the impact of exogenous influences such as hormone therapy, drug administration, and human-animal interactions on behavioural outcomes Short Blurb This veterinary textbook for postgraduate students presents an in-depth overview of animal behavior, combining ethological theory, behavioral neuroscience, and veterinary applications. It explores cognition, communication, stress responses, social behavior, and ecological adaptations, making it an important resource for students and professionals in veterinary and animal sciences. Seasonal Blurb This textbook for advanced graduate and postgraduate veterinary students introduces animal behavior through a modern lens, integrating classical ethology with veterinary, ecological, and neurophysiological insights. Designed for advanced veterinary and life science students, it covers foundational concepts such as orientation, motivation, and communication and extends into complex areas including social structure, cognitive behavior, stress and welfare indicators, pharmacological impacts, and reproductive strategies. The ecological dimension explores behavior in response to environmental shifts, host-parasite interactions, and conservation. It is useful for students and professionals in veterinary and animal sciences.

Plant Biology, sustainability and climate change

Nanomaterials-Microbial Interaction for Soil Health, Plant Growth and Performance highlights the importance of understanding the interactions between nanoparticles and the environment, particularly in the context of plant health and soil ecosystems. It emphasizes the potential benefits of using nanomaterials in plant production for sustainable agriculture, while also acknowledging the risks associated with their release into the environment. The unique properties of nanoparticles make them valuable for various applications, including enhancing plant growth and productivity. However, their potential impact on soil chemistry, microbial communities, and plant health must be carefully studied to ensure their safe and effective use. Researchers and students in plant science, agricultural science, nanobiotechnology, microbiology, biotechnology, and nano-engineering can benefit from exploring the relationships between nanomaterials and microbial interactions in soil health and plant performance. This interdisciplinary approach can provide valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with integrating nanotechnology into agriculture and environmental management.
