Download or read book Zebra Mussels Biology Impacts and Control written by Thomas F. Nalepa and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-11-24 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction and rapid spread of the zebra mussel in North American waters has caused great concern among industrial and recreational users of these waters. This bivalve mollusk is a biofouler that attaches to any firm substrate (e.g. rocks, piers, water intake pipes, boat hulls) and has already created significant problems for raw water users such as water treatment plants and power plants. Zebra Mussels: Biology, Impacts and Control provides essential information regarding the biology of the zebra mussel in North America and Europe, presents case studies of environmental and industrial impacts, and outlines control strategies. Summary articles detail its life history, origins, and morphology. The book also examines techniques used to culture and maintain this organism in the laboratory. Thirty-two color plates illustrate some of the dramatic problems created by the explosive population growth of this species. Zebra Mussels: Biology, Impacts, and Control is an important resource for ecologists, conservationists, environmental consultants, water quality engineers, regulatory officials, power utilities, and libraries.

Download or read book Neurobiology of Invertebrates written by J. Salanki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1967 a Symposium on Neurobiology of Invertebrates was held at Tihany, in the Biological Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sci ences, coinciding with the 40 years anniversary of this Institute. Its Department of Experimental Zoology, representing the most important basis for researches in Hungary on the nervous system of invertebrates, organized the meeting. The Symposium covered both morphological and functional aspects of inver tebrate neurobiology from the viewpoints of elementary processes as well of regu latory mechanisms. The complex approach of identic or similar problems is a generally accepted trend in biological research - this tendency is well reflected in the 34 papers presented by participants of the Symposium coming from different countries of Europe and the United States. The volume contains all but one of the lectures held at the meeting; the paper of A. K. Voskresenskaya included in the Proceedings could not be read because of the tragic death of the author, some weeks before the Symposium. The volume is separated into 4 parts according to the 4 days program, however this division is rather tentative because of over lappings in the different fields. Discussion following the lectures are also pub lished in short, however it was impossible to give a full picture in this respect. The Biological Department of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences deserves special gratitude for the financial support of the Symposium.

Book excerpt: Physiology: The Ovary, Volume II, Second Edition provides an account of the principal aspects of ovarian development, structure and function. The book presents information derived from experimental and chemical studies of the ovary. The articles in the text discuss topics on the control of ovarian development in invertebrates; transplantation of the ovary; ovarian endocrine activities; the relationship of the ovary and the nervous system to behavior; and the nature of environmental variables that alter ovarian function. Physiologists, obstetricians, physicians, and students of medicine will find the book a good reference material.

Download or read book Histoenzymology of the Endocrine Glands written by L. Arvy and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Series of Monographs in Pure and Applied Biology: Modern Trends in Physiological Sciences, Volume 35: Histoenzymology of the Endocrine Glands discusses various concerns in histochemically detectable enzymic activity in the endocrine glands. The title focuses on dealing with the endocrine glands relevant to the vascular system. The text first covers the diencephalic endocrine glands, and then proceeds to tackling the parathyroids and thyroid glands. Next, the selection talks about the enzymic activity in the islets of Langerhans. The text also discusses the adrenal gland, along with the enzymic activity of the gonads. The book will be of great use to students, researchers, and practitioners of endocrinology.

Download or read book Serotonin written by Fatima Shad Kaneez and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serotonin - A Chemical Messenger Between All Types of Living Cells is a very interesting book on the most ancient neurotransmitter, hormone and trophic factor serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). This unique chemical is present in all living cells including plants and animals. This book will take us through a serene journey of the evolutionary history of serotonin and its role from man to mollusk. There are many interesting chapters incorporated in this book, including novel approaches for detecting minor metabolites of serotonin in human plasma, production and function of serotonin in cardiac cells, immuno-thrombotic effects of serotonin in platelets to the identification and localization of serotonin in the nervous system and gonad of bivalve mollusks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While advances in marine biotechnology will certainly enhance our capabilities in the marine realm, what we learn there will doubtless provide new insight into the biology of freshwater and terrestrial organisms. This volume is a compilation of information that covers a wide range of animal groups. This book will be of interest not only to biotechnologists but also to aquaculturists, comparative animal physiologists, comparative endocrinologists, and developmental biologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reproduction of Marine Invertebrates Volume V, Molluscs: Pelecypods and Lesser Classes presents valuable insights on the early evolution of molluscan reproductive biology. It discusses the asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction capacity, and developmental stages of pelecypods and the remaining smaller classes, including aplacophora, polyplacophora, and monoplacophora. One chapter in this volume provides a broad overview of the knowledge and problems on oyster reproductive biology. This book is ideal for marine biologists and researchers, reproductive biologists, and developmental biologists.

Download or read book Ecology written by W. D. Russell-Hunter and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mollusca, Volume 6: Ecology provides an overview of the state of knowledge in molluscan ecology. It is part of a multivolume treatise that covers the fields of biochemistry, physiology, neurobiology, reproduction and development, evolution, ecology, medical aspects, and structure. The Mollusca is intended to serve a range of disciplines: biological, biochemical, paleontological, and medical. As a source of information on the current status of molluscan research, it should prove useful to researchers of the Mollusca and other phyla, as well as to teachers and qualified graduate students. The book contains 15 chapters, arranged into three levels of ecological perspective: (a) distributional studies; (b) physiological ecology and bioenergetics; and (c) population genetics and dynamics. A discussion of the planetary distribution of and ecological constraints upon the mollusca is followed by separate chapters on the life styles and distribution of mollusks on the deep-sea bottom, in mangroves, and on coral reefs; and the trophic and reproductive ecology of those intrinsically fascinating molluscan groups—the nudibranchs and cephalopods. Subsequent chapters present physiological ecology in land snails and in freshwater bivalves, prosobranchs, and pulmonates, with a survey of the techniques of actuarial bioenergetics as applied to nonmarine molluscs. Other chapters cover population dynamics and biology in an introduced pest species, population genetics of marine molluscs, ecogenetics of land snails, and life-cycle pattems throughout the major molluscan taxa.
