Download or read book Health and Welfare of Captive Reptiles written by Clifford Warwick and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extensively revised and expanded new edition offers concepts, principles and applied information that relates to the wellbeing of reptiles. As a manual on health and welfare in a similar vein to volumes addressing the sciences of anatomy, behaviour or psychology, this book thoroughly examines the biology of reptile welfare and is about meeting biological needs. The editors, acknowledged experts in their own right, have once again drawn together an extremely impressive international group of contributors. Positive and negative implications of general husbandry and research programs are discussed. In addition to greatly revised original content are nine new chapters offering readers novel insight into: • sensory systems • social behaviour • brain and cognition • controlled deprivation and enrichment • effects of captivity-imposed noise and light disturbance on welfare • spatial and thermal factors• evidential thresholds for species suitability in captivity • record keeping as an aid to captive care • arbitrary husbandry practices and misconceptions The authors have adopted a user-friendly writing style to accommodate a broad readership. Although primarily aimed at academic professionals, this comprehensive volume is fundamentally a biology book that will also inform all involved in captive reptile husbandry. Among others, zoo personnel, herpetologists, veterinarians, lab animal scientists, and expert readers in animal welfare and behavioural studies will benefit from this updated work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of survey articles and research papers focuses on some of the most fruitful methods and ideas in the recently very active field of complex differential geometry and nonlinear differential equations. The topics found in this 1984 Summer Research Conference Proceedings include the local embedding of Cauchy-Riemann structures, minimal varieties, harmonic maps, Chern number inequalities for singular Kahler surfaces, the spectrum of the Laplacian for Kahler manifolds, foliations, vanishing theorems, and complex Finsler metrics. Papers of particular note include Mok's survey on foliation techniques and vanishing theorems, a succinct account of one of the most important methods in several complex variables which has recently produced some very good results, and the research articles by Cheng-Yau and Sampson, which contain highly significant new results. Both researchers and graduate students in the fields of several complex variables, differential geometry, and partial differential equations will find this material especially useful.
Download or read book Classical Real Analysis written by Daniel Waterman and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects most of the papers presented at a special session on classical real analysis held to honor Casper Goffman at the April 1982 AMS meeting. The variety of these papers reflects Goffman's wide-ranging interests and the many areas where his influence has been felt: differentiation and integration theory, structure theory of real functions, ordered systems, surface area, Sobolev spaces, Fourier analysis, measure theory, bases, and approximation theory. Together they provide an appreciation of the directions in which real analysis has developed and of how classical techniques might be applied to problems of current interest. Readers should have a background in classical analysis. Though aimed primarily at specialists in real function theory of one or several variables, the papers will also interest mathematicians working in the areas of Fourier analysis, surface area, mapping theory and control theory.

Download or read book Nonlinear Problems in Geometry written by Dennis M. DeTurck and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features current work in a broad area of modern geometric analysis. The contributors represent a cross-section of researchers working in areas of interaction between analytic methods and geometric problems. The scope of their concerns is broad, but three areas are treated in depth by several authors: scalar curvature on complete manifolds, spectral geometry, and curvature tensor realization. The papers are aimed primarily at researchers studying differential equations on manifolds, though many of the papers address a more general audience as well. The background required consists of basic training in and an appreciation of the problems of modern differential geometry; experience with partial differential equations would be helpful as well.

Download or read book Snakes written by Richard A. Seigel and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1987 and here reprinted with a new foreword by the authors has become a classic in the field of herpetology. In ecological and evolutionary research snakes occupy a unique niche. Studies of their adaptations and life histories have broad applications for the most basic questions in biology. This book fills the need for an up-to-date text/reference in the growing field of snake ecology and evolutionary biology. Here, in one volume is an extensive review of the biology of these fascinating reptiles, including topics such as zoogeography, fossil history, systematics, foraging and reproduction. With contributions from many leading herpetologists, the work is divided into sections on Systematics and Morphology, Methods and Techniques and Life History and Ecology. Each section summarizes what is known about these major fields of snake biology. This book serves the needs of those actively involved in research as well as the amateur naturalist and the beginning student. Dr. Richard A. Seigel became interested in herpetology while an undergraduate at Rutgers University, where he received his B.A. in Zoology and Physiology in 1977. He continued his work with amphibians and reptiles while getting his M.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of Central Florida in 1979 and his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas in 1984. He is currently Full Professor and Chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Towson University in Maryland. Dr. Siegel's primary research interests are in the population ecology and conservation biology of amphibians and reptiles. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers and has co-authored or edited four texts on the ecology and biology of snakes. From 1993-2000, he was the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Herpetology, the largest international publication in its field. Joseph T. Collins has written more than 200 articles on reptiles, amphibians, and fishes throughout North America and twenty-three books, including: Peterson Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America Third Edition (with Roger Conant), Amphibians and Reptiles in Kansas Third Edition (with photographs by Suzanne L. Collins), Natural Kansas, An Illustrated Guide to Endangered or Threatened Species in Kansas, (with Suzanne L. Collins, Jerry Horak, Dan Mulhern, William H. Busby, Craig C. Freeman, and Gary Wallace), A Key to Amphibians and Reptiles of the Continental United States and Canada (with Robert Powell and Errol D. Hooper, Jr.). In 1978, Collins served as president of the Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles, the leading international professional society in that field, as president of the Kansas Association of Biology Teachers (1980-1981) and as president of the Kansas Herpetological Society. He was a distinguished delegate to the First World Congress of Herpetology at Canterbury, England in 1989, and was made a Distinguished Life Member of the Kansas Herpetological Society in 1998. Susan S. Novak, a native of Chicago, has been a Lawrence, Kansas, resident since 1986. Novak has been an editor of scientific/technical, scholarly, and popular work for twenty years, working formerly as the editor at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory. She joined the staff of the Kansas State Historical Society in 1993, where she has since served as the managing editor of Kansas Heritage magazine and the associate editor of Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains, providing regular departments, main articles, photographs, book reviews, and layout and design work.
