Humanity's unique relationship with risk has driven us to defy the evolutionary odds - but as the stakes keep mounting, how long before our luck runs out?

Humanity's unique relationship with risk has driven us to defy the evolutionary odds - but as the stakes keep mounting, how long before our luck runs out?

Humanity’s Evolutionary Winning Streak - and How We Risk It All

The Weird and Wonderful Science of How our Planet is Populated

On the Origin of Sex

People have been long-fascinated with birds, and their scientific study has been central to advances in evolution, animal behavior, biogeography, population dynamics, and community ecology. Research questions in these fields have been driven in part by innovations in technology. Ornithologists even 20 years ago could scarcely imagine the detail and precision with which we can now monitor bird populations on a global scale, whether through digital tools like eBird, indirectly through remote sensing satellites, or at closer range via drones. Highlighting these advances, New Perspectives in Ornithology brings together leading and rising professionals across ornithology, spanning behavior and ecology to genomics and conservation. Organized thematically into five sections - ecology, evolution, behavior, citizen science, and conservation - the volume reflects the major swaths of modern ornithology. Its contributions offer diverse perspectives on some of the most pressing challenges facing birds today, including climate change, habitat loss, and effects of urbanization. New Perspectives in Ornithology also showcases extraordinary and inspiring new insights into how birds work, their amazing colors and songs, movements around the globe, and their deep-time evolution. Approachable and conversational in style, yet scientifically rigorous, this volume is essential reading for graduate students, early career researchers, and senior academics, and anyone else who will need to be aware of key approaches and conceptual domains in ornithology today.

An Introduction

Human Animal Studies

The dinosaur-bird transition has been intensively studied using both fossil and embryological evidence. In recent years, the notion that birds are living dinosaurs has become the mainstream opinion in paleontology. But some embryologists and ornithologists remain skeptical and accuse paleontologists of ignoring conflicting evidence. This book resolves these conflicts. Careful re-evaluation of those features in seeming contradiction reveal that such characteristics actually support and corroborate the mainstream view that birds are in fact members of a dinosaurian lineage - they are living dinosaurs.

Making Better Business Decisions provides a toolkit for understanding the case for a new project, product or service, business change or other investment of resources. The phrase 'business case' is universally understood, but scratch below the surface and you will find that it has many different meanings depending on the context and culture of an organisation. This is completely understandable, but wouldn't it be helpful if there was a common approach and a common language to developing business cases? Stefan Sanchez and Alan Brown unpack the different elements of a business case, setting out in detail what should be covered as follows: ¢ Strategic case - why do we want to invest and what are the outcomes we want to achieve? ¢ Economic case - what choices do we have and how do we assess them to identify a solution? ¢ Commercial case - who are our delivery partners and what is the 'deal' with them? ¢ Financial case - can we afford it and where is the money coming from? ¢ Management case - how are we going to manage delivery and what is required for governance and approval? Increasing complexity in business alongside the accelerating pace of change means that businesses need a consistent and reliable basis for making more decisions, faster. Making Better Business Decisions offers this potential.

Globally, there are numerous infectious diseases, normally found in vertebrates other than humans, that have been documented to be transmitted to humans and cause human infections. These "zoonotic infections" are the topic of this book.This book is arranged to have chapters by the type of animal. Within each chapter is information on the animal(s), the normal flora of the animal(s), and the diseases that have been transmitted from this group of animals by bites and/or scratches, contact (including transmission via ectoparasites such as fleas and ticks), ingestion of the animal, and other documented transmission, such as infestation by members of the genus Sarcoptes as has been documented in humans exposed to dogs with "mange," in "cavalryman itch" from horses, from contact with dromedaries, etc.There are a number of additional issues that takeoff from a fundamental knowledge of zoonotic infections. These include a working knowledge of many of the agends of bioterrorism, as the events of 2001 demonstrated of the use of Bacillus anthracis spores in mailed letters. Another area of importance is that of emerging infections. An analysis of 335 origins of emerging infectious diseases between 1940 and 2004 revealed that these are dominated by infections that are zoonotic in origin, comprising some 60.3% of the emerging infections. Of these, 71.8% originated in wildlife.Given the importance of this topic in our understanding of infectious disease, a timely source is a necessary addition to the current available literature

Zoonoses: Animal Exposure and Human Disease

Comparative Learning and Cognition offers a comprehensive analysis of experimental and field research on learning, cognition, and behavior in nonhuman animals.Over the past two decades, the field has advanced significantly. While still firmly rooted in the study of behavior, contemporary research now interweaves principles from neuroscience and human cognition. This book emphasizes behavioral plasticity and integrates evolutionary, neuroscientific, and comparative perspectives in examining topics such as associative and nonassociative learning, social learning, tool use, navigation, and communication in nonhuman animals.With its integrative approach, this is an essential text for core psychology courses on comparative learning and cognition.
