Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four brothers, four paths... One heir Ludovic, the Earl of Sumerford's youngest son, is a slave to his station in life. With three older brothers and an indifferent father, his chances of inheritance are slim and he has taken to a life of secret smuggling as his only source of wealth. Suddenly the court of Henry VII is in uproar. As the first Tudor on the throne, the king's rule is in question with other claimants to the crown. Ludovic's elder brother is convinced that the 'pretender' Perkin Warbeck is the rightful king and gradually draws Ludovic into the conspiracy, one that means certain death if their treason is discovered. Meanwhile the House of Sumerford is one of brooding unease - each of the four brothers has their own dark agenda and they'll do anything to protect their secrets. Yet amid the conflict, Ludovic finds love, unexpected and passionate. Alysson is not his match, but he is determined to find a way. But danger finds him first. Facing arrest, imprisonment and torture on the rack, Ludovic seems likely to lose his very minor fortune, his barely awakening romance, and possibly even his worthless life. Only fate will determine who is left standing.

Download or read book Insect Diapause written by David L. Denlinger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-03 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our highly seasonal world restricts insect activity to brief portions of the year. This feature necessitates a sophisticated interpretation of seasonal changes and enactment of mechanisms for bringing development to a halt and then reinitiating it when the inimical season is past. The dormant state of diapause serves to bridge the unfavourable seasons, and its timing provides a powerful mechanism for synchronizing insect development. This book explores how seasonal signals are monitored and used by insects to enact specific molecular pathways that generate the diapause phenotype. The broad perspective offered here scales from the ecological to the molecular and thus provides a comprehensive view of this exciting and vibrant research field, offering insights on topics ranging from pest management, evolution, speciation, climate change and disease transmission, to human health, as well as analogies with other forms of invertebrate dormancy and mammalian hibernation.

Download or read book Evolutionary Ecology across Three Trophic Levels written by Warren G. Abrahamson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a work that will interest researchers in ecology, genetics, botany, entomology, and parasitology, Warren Abrahamson and Arthur Weis present the results of more than twenty-five years of studying plant-insect interactions. Their study centers on the ecology and evolution of interactions among a host plant, the parasitic insect that attacks it, and the suite of insects and birds that are the natural enemies of the parasite. Because this system provides a model that can be subjected to experimental manipulations, it has allowed the authors to address specific theories and concepts that have guided biological research for more than two decades and to engage general problems in evolutionary biology. The specific subjects of research are the host plant goldenrod (Solidago), the parasitic insect Eurosta solidaginis (Diptera: Tephritidae) that induces a gall on the plant stem, and a number of natural enemies of the gallfly. By presenting their detailed empirical studies of the Solidago-Eurosta natural enemy system, the authors demonstrate the complexities of specialized enemy-victim interactions and, thereby, the complex interactive relationships among species more broadly. By utilizing a diverse array of field, laboratory, behavioral, genetic, chemical, and statistical techniques, Abrahamson and Weis present the most thorough study to date of a single system of interacting species. Their interest in the evolutionary ecology of plant-insect interactions leads them to insights on the evolution of species interactions in general. This major work will interest anyone involved in studying the ways in which interdependent species interact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bosworth was not the bloodiest battle in history, but it changed the future of England forever. Recovering consciousness on the battlefield, Alex, seeing the devastation around him, knows the threat to his life is by no means over. But when the great lords of the land make war, everyone is at risk. The local population, the besieged villagers, the respectable wives and their daughters threatened with rape, the ravaged farmlands, and the looted properties are considered simply--collateral damage. So Kate, frightened but defiant, dresses as a boy to escape the attentions of the wandering soldiers, deserters, and drunken victors. Henry Tudor claims victory and the throne. Alex fought on the wrong side and does not expect favour, but what he never expected was to discover the slaughtered corpse of his favourite cousin. Nor--once discovered--to become the principal suspect.
