Download or read book Video Techniques in Animal Ecology and Behaviour written by S.D. Wratten and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about video techniques, not video technology. To deal with the latter would be a thankless task, as by the time the book was published it would be out of date, given the rapid rate of development of video hardware. However, these technological advances do help to make it an exciting field. As Joe Riley says in Chapter 1, 'Advances in video technology continually produce improvements in performance and reductions in both the cost and size of equipment, so it seems certain that the technique will prove to be an even more useful resource . . . in the future. ' In selecting the topics and authors represented in this book, I have tried to encompass most of the behavioural and ecological uses to which video is likely to be put over the next decade or so. I believe the book has captured the invaluable accumulated experience of the most active practitioners of the medium in this research area. The idea for the book arose from two workshops on the use of video in ecology and behaviour held at Southampton University, UK, during the 1980s. Three learned societies were involved in these meetings: the Association of Applied Biologists, the British Ecological Society and the Society for Experimental Biology.

Download or read book Observing Animal Behaviour written by Marian Stamp Dawkins and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-10-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to the power of observation before, and sometimes instead of, experimental manipulation in the study of animal behaviour. It starts with simple and easily accessible methods suitable for student projects, before going on to demonstrate the possibilities that now exist for far more sophisticated analyses of observational data. At a time when animal welfare considerations are attracting political as well as scientific debate, the potential for non-intrusive studies on animals is being increasingly recognized. Observation emerges as a valuable alternative approach, often yielding highly informative results in situations (such as on zoos, farms or for wild animals) where more invasive experimental techniques would be undesirable, unethical or just plain impossible. However, to justify its place alongside experimentation as a rigorous scientific method, observation needs to be just as disciplined and systematic and have just as much attention paid to project design in the way that observations are made and recorded. Observing Animal Behaviour takes the reader through all these stages: from the initial observations, to the formulation of hypotheses, and their subsequent testing with further systematic observations. Although designed principally as a companion text for advanced undergraduate and students taking courses in animal behaviour, this accessible text will be essential reading for anyone wanting to study animal behaviour using observational methods rather than experimentation, and assumes no previous knowledge of animals, statistics or scientific method. It will be of particular relevance and use to those professional researchers and consultants in the behavioural sciences who seek a compact but comprehensive introduction to the quantitative observation of animal behaviour.

Download or read book Using the Biological Literature written by Diane Schmidt and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biological sciences cover a broad array of literature types, from younger fields like molecular biology with its reliance on recent journal articles, genomic databases, and protocol manuals to classic fields such as taxonomy with its scattered literature found in monographs and journals from the past three centuries. Using the Biological Literature: A Practical Guide, Fourth Edition is an annotated guide to selected resources in the biological sciences, presenting a wide-ranging list of important sources. This completely revised edition contains numerous new resources and descriptions of all entries including textbooks. The guide emphasizes current materials in the English language and includes retrospective references for historical perspective and to provide access to the taxonomic literature. It covers both print and electronic resources including monographs, journals, databases, indexes and abstracting tools, websites, and associations—providing users with listings of authoritative informational resources of both classical and recently published works. With chapters devoted to each of the main fields in the basic biological sciences, this book offers a guide to the best and most up-to-date resources in biology. It is appropriate for anyone interested in searching the biological literature, from undergraduate students to faculty, researchers, and librarians. The guide includes a supplementary website dedicated to keeping URLs of electronic and web-based resources up to date, a popular feature continued from the third edition.

Download or read book Data Driven Farming written by Syed Nisar Hussain Bukhari and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the dynamic realm of agriculture, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) emerge as catalysts for unprecedented transformation and growth. The emergence of big data, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and advanced analytics has opened up new possibilities for farmers to collect and analyze data in real-time, make informed decisions, and increase efficiency. AI and ML are key enablers of data-driven farming, allowing farmers to use algorithms and predictive models to gain insights into crop health, soil quality, weather patterns, and more. Agriculture is an industry that is deeply rooted in tradition, but the landscape is rapidly changing with the emergence of new technologies. Data-Driven Farming: Harnessing the Power of AI and Machine Learning in Agriculture is a comprehensive guide that explores how the latest advances in technology can help farmers make better decisions and maximize yields. It offers a detailed overview of the intersection of data, AI, and ML in agriculture and offers real-world examples and case studies that demonstrate how these tools can help farmers improve efficiency, reduce waste, and increase profitability. Exploring how AI and ML can be used to achieve sustainable and profitable farming practices, the book provides an introduction to the basics of data-driven farming, including an overview of the key concepts, tools, and technologies. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities facing farmers in today’s data-driven landscape. Covering such topics as crop monitoring, weather forecasting, pest management, and soil health management, the book focuses on analyzing data, predicting outcomes, and optimizing decision-making in a range of agricultural contexts.

Download or read book Farm animal proteomics 2013 written by André de Almeida and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-06-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteomics may be defined as the large-scale study of the proteome, i.e. a set of proteins being expressed in a certain fluid, tissue, organ or organism. Although still of limited and restricted use in most areas of farm animal and veterinary research, proteomics potential is unequivocal holding a significant promise in applications such as vaccine and drug development, animal product quality, physiology or toxicology. Nevertheless, proteomics use has been growing steadily during the last 2-3 years and, as time goes by; proteomics-based studies are more and more common, not just to scientists but to the general public, unraveling their full potential. This book reflects the will of a group of scientists that merge innovation with excellence of research and to whom the dissemination of knowledge and innovation through cooperation is a key essential point. It will be of interest to scientists at the early stages of their careers as well as to researchers well established in the field and to whom proteomics may be the necessary next step towards more in-depth research activities. By providing a collection of diverse scientific interests, Farm Animal Proteomics 2013 is also a witness to the vitality of the area and the importance it holds to animal and food research, to science, industry, government agencies, the consumer and ultimately the society as a whole.
