Titre : Animal movement across scales Type de document : livre Auteurs : Lars-Anders Hansson, Éditeur scientifique ; Susanne Akesson, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. 2014 with corr. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 279 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-967719-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal ecology Migration Flight Adaptation Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : Movement, dispersal, and migration on land, in the air, and in water, are pervading features of animal life. They are performed by a huge variety of organisms, from the smallest protozoans to the largest whales, and can extend over widely different distance scales, from the microscopic to global. Integrating the study of movement, dispersal, and migration is crucial for a detailed understanding of the spatial scale of adaptation, and for analysing the consequences of landscape and climate change as well as of invasive species. This novel book adopts a broad, cross-taxonomic approach to animal movement across both temporal and spatial scales, addressing how and why animals move, and in what ways they differ in their locomotion and navigation performance. Written by an integrated team of leading researchers, the book synthesizes our current knowledge of the genetics of movement, including gene flow and local adaptations, whilst providing a future perspective on how patterns of animal migration may change over time together with their potential evolutionary consequences. Novel technologies for tracking the movement of organisms across scales are also discussed, ranging from satellite devices for tracking global migrations to nanotechnology that can follow animals only a millimetre in size.
Animal Movement Across Scales is particularly suitable for graduate level students taking courses in spatial animal ecology, animal migration, and 'movement ecology', as well as providing a source of fresh ideas and opinions for those already active within the field. It will also be of interest and use to a broader audience of professional biologists interested in animal movements and migrations.En ligne : https://global.oup.com/academic/product/animal-movement-across-scales-9780199677 [...] Animal movement across scales [livre] / Lars-Anders Hansson, Éditeur scientifique ; Susanne Akesson, Éditeur scientifique . - 1st ed. 2014 with corr. . - New York : Oxford University Press, NY, 2015 . - 279 p.

Titre : On the wing: insects, pterosaurs, birds, bats and the evolution of animal flight Type de document : livre Auteurs : David E. Alexander, Auteur ; Sara L. Taliaferro, Illustrateur ; Sara L. Taliaferro Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 210 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-999677-3 Prix : 29.95 USD Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal behaviour Flight Résumé : Le site éditeur indique : From airplanes to birds, the phenomenon of flight has always amazed and mystified humans. Therefore, it is unsurprising that scientists have invested a substantial amount of research into unraveling the secrets of flight evolution. Over the course of the past decade, the science of flight evolution has recently experienced a research renaissance, most of the information has been confined to the ivory tower of academia.
In On the Wing, David Alexander delves into the evolution of flight in each of the four animal groups that evolved powered flight: insects, pterosaurs, birds, and bats. Alexander presents and compares each group's evolutionary history, including diversification and partial or complete extinction, especially as related to flight. The evolution of flight in animals is fascinating story riddled with scientific controversy and colorful characters, from the incredible Archaeopteryx to the recently-discovered feathered dinosaur Microraptor. Chapter topics include aerodynamics, comparisons and contrasts among the powered flyers, and the ultimate evolution away from flight. Alexander even examines the surprisingly diverse group of gliding animals, including squirrels, snakes, and ants.
Through rigorous yet accessible writing, Alexander offers a comprehensive and engaging account of the evolution of flight, from dinosaurs to modern birds. On the Wing will delight and inform everyone from bird lovers to dinosaur enthusiasts, and offers key insights into the perpetual mystery of flight.En ligne : https://global.oup.com/academic/product/on-the-wing-9780199996773 On the wing: insects, pterosaurs, birds, bats and the evolution of animal flight [livre] / David E.

Titre : Avian urban ecology: behavioural and physiological adaptations Type de document : livre Auteurs : Diego Gil, Éditeur scientifique ; Henrik Brumm, Éditeur scientifique Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 217 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-966157-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal ecology Birds Behaviour Adaptation Animal physiology Urban areas Case studies Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : As natural habitat continues to be lost and the world steadily becomes more urbanized, biologists are increasingly studying the effect this has on wildlife. Birds are particularly good model systems since their life history, behaviour, and physiology are especially influenced by directly measurable environmental factors such as light and sound pollution. It is therefore relatively easy to compare urban individuals and populations with their rural counterparts. This accessible text focuses on the behavioural and physiological mechanisms which facilitate adaptation and on the evolutionary process that ensues. It discusses topics such as acoustics, reproductive cues, disease, and artificial feeding, and includes a series of case studies illustrating cutting edge research on these areas. Avian Urban Ecology is suitable for professional avian biologists and ornithologists as well as graduate students of avian ecology, evolution, and conservation. It will also be of relevance and use to a more general audience of urban ecologists and conservation biologists. Readership: Professional avian biologists and ornithologists as well as graduate students of avian ecology, evolution, and conservation. A secondary market will exist amongst a more general audience of urban ecologists and conservation biologists.
