Book excerpt: This is the first exhaustive review of literature on marine insects, which are defined in this volume as those that spend at least part of their life in association with the marine environment. Not only are true insects, such as the Collembola and insect parasites of marine birds and mammals, considered, but also other kinds of intertidal air-breathing arthropods, notably spiders, scorpions, mites, centipedes and millipedes, which live and feed with, or even on, the insects of marine habitats. The chapters, written by leading authorities, are divided into two sections, the first treating primarily ecological aspects, the second dealing with major groups of insects in marine environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the nineteenth century, the health and productivity of the livestock and poultry industries and the safety of foods of animal origin in the United States were severely compromised by infectious diseases. Bovine tuberculosis was a widespread and significant food safety hazard, with large numbers of human TB cases caused by contaminated milk. Texas fever, foot and mouth disease, brucellosis, glanders, trichinosis, and fowl plague challenged both animal and human health. Government intervention in veterinary public health made great strides during the first half of the twentieth century, however, and the U.S. food supply was proclaimed to be the safest in the world. In the countries of the developing world, infectious diseases of animals and humans remain prevalent and pose serious threats to a globalized society, in which the health status of animals in one nation is directly linked to the health status of animal and human populations throughout the world. The problems and their solutions are immensely complex and difficult and extend well beyond the challenges of controlling infectious diseases. As a result, those involved in the food industry, and especially veterinarians, face the question, "Is it possible to feed a burgeoning world population while respecting the welfare of livestock and poultry, containing the spread of disease, and managing the Earth's natural resources?" In Food Security in a Global Economy, contributors from across the globe and from a range of disciplines—veterinarians, public health officials, researchers, scholars, and industry experts—provide analysis and cutting-edge research. From the spread of avian influenza to the burgeoning problems associated with more affluent and urbanizing populations in the developing world, Food Security in a Global Economy provides a comprehensive overview of the issues that form the central challenge for veterinary medicine in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book The Woods and Flora of the Florida Keys Pinnatae written by Barrett N. Rock and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pinnatae; comprising six families of woody plants with pinnately compound leaves, is represented on the Florida Keys by at least 16 species. The taxonomic treatment of these families at the ordinal level has been inconsistent. The purpose of this study is to correlate the data derived from intensive study of the xylem anatomy of these 16 species with data from the literature concerning these and other members of the families involved, so that new insight might be gained concerning the taxonomic relationships among these families. This study indicates that the members of the Pinnatae are anatomically homogeneous. All members possess simple perforation plates, vessel elements having alternate intervascular pitting, fibrous elements with small slitlike simple to vestigially bordered pits, and apotracheal and paratracheal axial parenchyma, or both. Secretory structures, such as crystalliferous idioblasts, parenchymatous cells containing 'gum'; and intercellular canals, are of wide occurrence within the Pinnatae. In addition, many species possess septate fibers and axial parenchyma arranged in aggregate patterns, with banded arrangements being most frequent. There is no anatomical basis for the separation of families into distinct orders in my view. The only separation of families within the Pinnatae suggested by a syndrome of several unique characters, in addition to those common to all members, is the formation of an Anacardiaceae-Burseraceae complex. The members of the Pinnatae belong to a taxon corresponding well with Cronquist's Sapindales. Phylogenetically, the Pinnatae constitutes an advanced taxon, based on xylem anatomy.
Download or read book The Physiology of Mosquitoes written by A. N. Clements and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pure and Applied Biology, Volume 17: The Physiology of Mosquitoes explores some physiological aspects of mosquitoes, including their development, metabolism, survival, reproduction, and behavior. This book is composed of 16 chapters, and begins with discussions on the early life of mosquitoes, larval nutrition, excretion, respiration, and the osmotic and ionic regulation of body fluids. The succeeding chapters deal with different factors affecting the growth and metamorphosis of mosquitoes; the structure and function of their circulatory system; survival and longevity; adult mosquito feeding, nutrition, and metabolism; and reproduction and sense organs. These topics are followed by surveys of the mosquito's diapauses activity, larva and pupa behavior, and regulation of adult activity. The last chapters examine the host-seeking activity, mating, swarming, and ovoposition of mosquito. This book will be of great value to entomologists, developmental biologists, physiologists, and researchers who are interested in expanding their knowledge in mosquito behavior.
