Many fish researchers have come to view this distinction as artificial, and to develop a new study of fish that combines both tracks in a single holistic approach. It has never been more critical for introductory textbooks to represent this combined study in order to prepare the next generation of fish biologists and fishery scientists.
Biology and Ecology of Fishes meets this need with a textbook that incorporates both biology and population management. Beginning with a general introduction to aquatic life and ecosystems, this book covers anatomical, environmental, and ethological topics to give a thoroughly rounded view of its subject, promising to serve as the fundamental introduction to multidisciplinary fish studies.
Readers of the third edition of Biology and Ecology of Fishes will also find:
Detailed coverage of subjects including growth and bioenergetics, feeding and predation, mortality and recruitment and more
Increased attention to stressors of fish populations and communities
New and revised chapters that introduce quantitative methods and present emerging issues facing fish populations and communities
Biology and Ecology of Fishes is a useful overview for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying fish ecology or fishery biology, as well as a reference for researchers and professionals in fish ecology, fish population management, and related fields.Biology and Ecology of Fishes [texte imprimé] / Diana James S., Auteur ; Tomas O.Hook, Auteur . - John Wiley & Sons Inc, 3-Ed.2023 . - 545 pages ; 21 x 28 cm.

Titre : Parasitology, An Integrated Approach Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gunn Alan ; Sarah J.Pitt, Auteur Editeur : John Wiley & Sons Inc Année de publication : 2022 Importance : 560 p. Format : 17x24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-119-64119-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Parasitology . Parasitologie Résumé : The fully revised edition of Parasitology: An Integrated Approach holds true to its engaging and easy-to-read approach. It comprehensively covers the complex and dynamic interaction between the parasite and its host ranging from invertebrates to vertebrates. Following an integrated approach, the authors explain how the study of parasites requires an understanding of biological concepts such as growth and reproduction, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, and pathology. In this second edition, they further address parasites and parasite relationships in the grand scheme of global changes and their impact.
This textbook also reviews the often-neglected positive aspects of parasite infections and how humans have used parasites for their own advantage.
Parasitology: An Integrated Approach, 2nd edition includes supplementary learning resources such as self-assessment quizzes, practical exercises, and an extensive collection of photographs.
Now includes parasite life cycles in colour.
Strong focus on parasite interactions with other pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.
Discusses major advancements in the field of parasite diagnostics.
Additional image material and learning resources (quizzes, practical exercises) provided online.
A valuable and comprehensive learning resource for undergraduate students in the biological, biomedical and veterinary sciences and in medicine. It is also of interest to postgraduates and professionals with an interest including but not limited to parasitology, animal welfare, ecology, and medical microbiology.Parasitology, An Integrated Approach [texte imprimé] / Gunn Alan ; Sarah J.Pitt, Auteur . - John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2022 . - 560 p. ; 17x24 cm.
