New T: Insect Conservation: Developing a
Practical Perspective

Insect Conservation: Developing a Practical Perspective

Mountain Sheep in North America provides a detailed account of bighorn and thinhorn sheep across their geographic range from Alaska and Canada to Mexico. The book examines all aspects of life histories, including activity patterns; biology; conservation; diet; ecology; genetics; habitat requirements; health and disease; historical perspectives; management approaches; predation; competition with other species; natural history; social behavior; taxonomy; the changing role of agency, Indigenous, and conservation stakeholders; and the considerations for future management actions, opportunities, and conservation risks. The book describes advancements in new technologies supported by current science, disproving some long-held assumptions about the species and their ecology, making it the most comprehensive source of information about mountain sheep in North America today. It offers every reader a better understanding of the management of mountain sheep, and the numerous challenges of a developing world that includes anthropogenic influences, altered habitats, species assemblages, and changing climates. Each chapter is written by internationally recognized experts and practicing mountain sheep managers from agencies and academia. New research is presented within broader shifts in conservation policy and funding, helping readers understand the practical implications of evolving science in real-world situations and offering wisdom that will help them create positive conservation outcomes for mountain sheep.This is an essential text for students of wildlife, early-career and experienced biologists, managers, policy and decision makers, administrators, and anyone interested in mountain sheep in our world today, including those who are simply passionate about them. This book will provide even the most knowledgeable mountain sheep enthusiast with an improved understanding of this magnificent wildlife resource.

Population Genomics

Cells, the basic units of biological structure and function, vary broadly in type and state. Individual cells are the building blocks of tissues, organs, and organisms. Each tissue contains cells of many types, and cells of each type can switch among biological states. Single-cell genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics open a whole new era with the possibility to interrogate every cell of an organism in order to decipher the important biological processes that occur within. This has emerged as a ground-breaking technology that has greatly enhanced our understanding of the complexity of gene expression dynamics at a microscopic resolution. It is anticipated that in the next 5-10 years, the wider research community will be routinely employing this powerful technology as a laboratory staple. Single-cell genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics hold the potential to revolutionize the way we characterize complex cell assemblies and study their spatial organization, dynamics, clonal distribution, pathways, function, and crosstalks. These fascinating advances have opened up a new field of cell population genomics.&nbsp; Single-cell genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics research is providing new insights into inter-cellular population genomic diversity, heterogeneity, specialization, taxonomy, spatial and temporal gene regulation, and cellular and organismal development and evolution. It is facilitating plant breeding, understanding of human disease conditions and personalized medicine. This book discusses the perspectives, progress, and promises of single-cell genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics research and applications in addressing the above and other key biological aspects in all organisms. It establishes the current state-of-the-field and serves as the foundation for future developments in single-cell genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics.&nbsp;

Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research

This handbook is a practical guide to the identification and interpretation of aquatic plant remains recovered from sediments. These remains, or macrofossils, can be seeds or fruits or other plant organs such as leaves or stems. The main body of the handbook is made up of a series of fact sheets for each aquatic plant taxon and its macrofossil type(s) known for northern Europe. Many aquatic species have distributions beyond Europe, so the handbook has a world-wide application. Each taxon is illustrated by about 3 photographs of seeds, fruits, and sometimes vegetative parts, together with notes on life form and ecology, present distribution (with a link to a distribution map), and late-Quaternary history if known. In addition to the descriptions, the handbook provides introductory chapters about aquatic ecosystems, palaeolimnology, and the nature and importance of plant macrofossil analysis. These will inform readers about the opportunities and limitations of plant macrofossil identification for research in palaeoecology, archaeology, and freshwater biology.&nbsp;

The 2nd edition of Murder, Medicine and Motherhood presents a fresh examination of the case of Kathleen Folbigg and a critical evaluation of the process that led to her exoneration in 2023. 

In 2011, the 2nd edition of this influential work argued that Kathleen Folbigg was wrongly convicted of killing her 4 children. The book attracted scholarly and public attention and led to medical and legal reviews of the Folbigg children's deaths. 

Two subsequent inquiries examined Folbigg's convictions. In 2019, Commissioner Blanch concluded that Folbigg's guilt was "even more certain" than it had been at trial. His report provoked an unprecedented response from the Australian Academy of Science, highlighting a rift between the legal and scientific establishments over how medical evidence should be managed. A petition signed by Nobel prize winners and others demanded a further review. The 2nd inquiry, completed in 2023, adopted a markedly different approach to scientific and behavioural evidence. Commissioner Bathurst ultimately reached the "firm view" that "reasonable doubt exists as to Folbigg's guilt." 

This new edition extends the examination of the legal process, medical evidence, and normative expectations of motherhood. It evaluates law's fact-finding processes and the legal system's adherence to the principles of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and raises concerns about how legal actors work with scientific uncertainty and assess women's credibility and demeanour.

Das fossile System bröckelt. Ein Klima ohne Krise ist in Reichweite. Was es jetzt braucht: dass wir endlich unsere Abhängigkeit von CO2 verlernen - und zwar in allen Bereichen unseres Lebens. Denn das Treibhausgas steckt nicht nur in Gasheizungen und den Tanks unserer Autos. Es hat sich fest in unseren Vorstellungen von einem guten Leben eingenistet und bestimmt unseren Alltag: was wir morgens anziehen, warum wir arbeiten und wie wir abends essen. Die gute Nachricht: Die Lösungen für ein Zusammenleben ohne Ausbeutung von Mensch und Planet liegen längst auf dem Tisch, darunter: kürzere Arbeitszeiten, Klagen gegen fossile Konzerne, Empowerment von Frauen und das Zulassen von Klimagefühlen.In diesem prominent besetzten Sammelband präsentieren Beitragende aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, Journalismus und Aktivismus vielfältige Lösungen, mit denen wir das fossile System überwinden können. In konstruktiven und fachlich fundierten Essays zeigen sie Wege in eine klimagerechte Zukunft.

Lipids are the primary energy sources in animals, and serve as the major reserve to meet the energy demand for reproduction, diapause, starvation, and prolonged periods of flight in insects. Insect Lipid Metabolism, First Edition supplies a comprehensive and fundamental background on insect lipid metabolism. The book is intended as a principal source for students and scientists in the biological sciences who need to possess from basic to a detailed knowledge on insect lipid metabolism.
<div>
<div>The book contains 21 chapters opening with an introductory chapter on insect lipids. The following chapters focus on the structure, function, and metabolism of lipids in organs such as midgut, fat body and cuticle, as well as the endocrine and transcriptional regulation of lipid metabolism. Aspects of lipid metabolism in relation to calcium homeostasis, carbohydrate metabolism, aging, sleep, starvation, diapause, reproduction, circadian rhythm, flight, infection, parasitism, vector-borne diseases, cold hardening and phytophagy together with “omics” approaches are also featured. Finally, the book covers the potential of lipid metabolism as a target for pest control, and the use of insects to study human lipid metabolism disorders.</div>
