GENOME-SCALE ALGORITHM DESIGN

see page 13

Genetics 14 Molecular biology, biochemistry, and structural biology

Recent technological advances have enabled comprehensive determination of the molecular composition of living cells. The chemical interactions between many of these molecules are known, giving rise to genome-scale reconstructed biochemical reaction networks underlying cellular functions. Mathematical descriptions of the totality of these chemical interactions lead to genome-scale models that allow the computation of physiological functions.

Neuroscience 16

Developed through extensive classroom use, the book is designed to provide students with a solid conceptual framework and an invaluable set of modeling tools and computational approaches.

Constraint-based Reconstruction and Analysis

Biological imaging

Reflecting these recent developments, this textbook explains how such quantitative and computable genotype– phenotype relationships are built using a genome-wide basis of information about the gene portfolio of a target organism. It describes how biological knowledge is assembled to reconstruct biochemical reaction networks, the formulation of computational models of biological functions, and how these models can be used to address key biological questions and enable predictive biology.

“... an insider’s guided tour of the concepts, principles, and techniques underlying this emerging field. This book is brilliantly laid out and offers professors well-structured, much-needed material for a graduate-level course in systems biology and network science.”

Norman Maclean, University of Southampton Author of A Less Green and Pleasant Land I have written this book partly out of a desire to share with others my passion for wildlife. Encounters with wild species are very life-enhancing. But more importantly I want to draw attention to the catastrophic declines in so many of our cherished wild species, especially woodland and farmland birds and many once common insects. Urgent action is needed to try to reverse the present downward trends, and I would like to stimulate a new campaign to address this problem.

Ecology and conservation Highlight

A Less Green and Pleasant Land Our Threatened Wildlife Norman Maclean University of Southampton

Foreword by Chris Packham

Disentangling the facts from the hype, this ‘Domesday book’ of the British and Irish countryside offers a definitive and up-to-date survey of the state of our wildlife today. Norman Maclean, editor of the bestselling Silent Summer, examines the latest findings of Britain and Ireland’s top wildlife experts and interprets them for a wider audience. Each chapter provides reliable estimates of animal populations, showing which species are thriving and which are in decline. The book also considers the effects of climate change on our wildlife and how human population growth is influencing its development. Beautifully illustrated with colour plates and wood engravings throughout, this accessible and timely study reveals just how rapidly our countryside and its wildlife are changing, why we should be concerned, and what we can do about it. Advance praise: ‘I hope that you will read, consider, mull and mould all [the book’s] ideas in your minds and then feel empowered and motivated to help move wildlife conservation in the UK into a new era … before it’s too late’ Chris Packham, Naturalist, Wildlife Photographer and TV Presenter, from the Foreword 2015 228 x 152 mm 300pp 9 b/w illus. 16 colour illus. 978-1-107-67323-6 Paperback c. £16.99 / c.

Austral Ark The State of Wildlife in Australia and New Zealand Edited by Adam Stow Macquarie University, Sydney

Norman Maclean University of Southampton

and Gregory I. Holwell University of Auckland

Australia and New Zealand are home to remarkable and unique flora and fauna. Unfortunately tough, major losses to biodiversity have occurred since European contact. Austral Ark fills an important gap by presenting a research-informed synthesis of the current issues facing the Australasian biota and the challenges involved in their conservation. ‘This splendid book is a unique up-to-date synthesis of the global values, threats to existence and conservation of Australian and New Zealand wildlife. The authors illuminate the challenges faced by a remarkable selection of plant species and vegetation types, vertebrates

and invertebrates; on land, in surface and underground freshwater, and the oceans. The growing list of threats to wildlife is assessed, with particular focus on global warming, changing wildfire patterns, plant, animal – and microbial invasions, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Useful examples of successful conservation projects are reinforced by templates for the design of conservation reserves on land and in the oceans. The book captures the urgency of the current situation, throwing new light on the modern requirements for wildlife conservation science and policy in this mega-diverse region. In achieving this, it crucially informs conservation efforts worldwide.’ Andrew Beattie, Macquarie University 2015 246 x 189 mm 680pp 77 b/w illus. 33 tables 978-1-107-03354-2 Hardback £40.00 / US$60.00 For all formats available, see

The Choanoflagellates Evolution, Biology and Ecology Barry S. C. Leadbeater University of Birmingham

Choanoflagellates: the closest, known, living, unicellular relatives of animals. This landmark book presents a unique, comprehensive, discussion of choanoflagellates with respect to their ultrastructure; silicon utilisation for skeletal purposes; contribution to microbial food webs, and molecular phylogeny. Also included is a novel account of the production of the basketlike lorica. ‘We look around and see a world full of animals, plants and fungi, but our eyes our deceptive. Most life on Earth is microscopic. Amongst the great diversity of single-celled life, the choanoflagellates deserve our special attention. As well as being important ecologically, choanoflagellates occupy a position of pivotal significance in the evolution of life. They are the closest single-celled relatives of the animal kingdom. To understand how animals evolved, we must study choanoflagellates. In this landmark book, Barry Leadbeater ranges from ecology and evolution, through to cell biology and ultrastructure, to reveal the secrets and the significance of these important and amazingly beautiful organisms.’ Peter Holland, University of Oxford 2015 246 x 189 mm 350pp 470 b/w illus. 43 tables 978-0-521-88444-0 Hardback £80.00 / US$125.00 For all formats available, see

The authors review the potential for future impacts and consider how conservationists should respond to these threats. ‘Over twenty years ago, when I first became interested in the impacts of climate-change on wild plants and animals, the literature was limited and the field wide open. Now it is very hard to keep up. This marvellous book is exactly what I need to feel on top of the subject once more, and needs to be read not just by ornithologists, but by all ecologists struggling to understand and predict the impacts of climate change on the living world. The authors are two word-leaders on the impacts of climate-change on birds. The text summarises the effects of climate change that have already happened, seeks to predict what we can expect in the future, and considers what conservation biologists can do to mitigate its effects. The coverage is comprehensive, and skilfully distills a

The Politics of Species Reshaping our Relationships with Other Animals Edited by Raymond Corbey Tilburg University and Leiden University

and Annette Lanjouw Arcus Foundation

Bringing together experts from a range of disciplines, this volume identifies the key barriers to a definition of moral respect that includes nonhuman animals. The chapters link scientific data with normative and philosophical reflections, offering unique insight into controversial issues around the ethical, political and legal status of other species. ‘Whereas everybody agrees that making the world a better place is a worthwhile endeavour, an open question remains: better for whom? The Politics of Species brilliantly highlights the scientific, moral and political importance of this topical question. Having done penance for their wrongs of racism, xenophobia, class hatred and sexism, Western societies need to engage in ethical reflexion about the merciless domination and exploitation they inflict on animals. In a series of fascinating case studies, leading experts from a broad range of disciplines supply such a reflexion with a rich factual and conceptual basis, linking scientific data with normative and philosophical ideas in a plea for a renewed moral vision of relationships between humans and nonhuman beings.’ Wiktor Stoczkowski, L’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales

Written for archaeologists and biological anthropologists, both at academic and professional levels, this integrative volume brings together evidence from archaeological excavations and human skeletal remains to document how past cultures and peoples successfully lived and interacted in the Arctic environment of Point Hope, as well as Alaska as a whole. ‘This volume represents a true anthropological reconstruction of life among the prehistoric foragers from Point Hope, Alaska. It includes important perspectives regarding the ecological realities of adaptation in this harsh environment that are integrated into the perception of this landscape by the Ipiutak and Tigara people themselves. The work is a must-read for all who find interest in hunter-gatherer populations and scholars who value integrated anthropological research.’ Daniel H.

Animal behaviour Escaping from Predators

2013

Current dominant thinking and practice in the private and public sectors continually assert that peoples’ development needs are in conflict with, or mutually exclusive to, the need to conserve the biosphere on which we depend. Consequently, we are asked to either diminish development in the name of conservation or diminish conservation in the name of development. Efforts to identify

An Integrative View of Escape Decisions Edited by William E. Cooper, Jr complementary objectives, or mutually acceptable trade-offs and

compromises indicate, however, that this does not always have to be

the case. Extractive Industries and Ape Conservation, the first volume in

the new State of the Apes series draws attention to the evolving context within which great ape and gibbon habitats are increasingly interfacing with extractive industries.

Aimed at a broad range of policy makers, industry experts and

decision makers, academics, researchers, and NGOs these

publications aim to influence debate, practice and policy, seeking to reconcile ape conservation and welfare, and economic and social development, through objective and rigorous analysis.

“ University, Indiana University–Purdue Indianapolis ”

The State of the Apes is the most comprehensive assessment to date of the threats confronting man’s closest cousins and what can be done to address them. It urgently calls for collective action to ensure their survival and is a must-read for policy-makers, business leaders, conservationists, researchers and anyone who has an interest in ape conservation and the interface with economic development.

An undergraduate introduction to cognitive processes across species, integrating classic studies and contemporary research in psychology, biology and neuroscience. Active, engaged learning is encouraged through feature boxes, giving a deeper understanding of topics discussed in the main text. These are supported by endof-chapter questions and further reading sections. ‘Comparative Cognition provides a clear and comprehensive review and an engaging synthesis of the key topics in this rapidly developing field. Like the other classic textbooks on animal cognition this book integrates knowledge of experimental psychology and evolutionary biology, reflecting the roots of this discipline in comparative psychology and ethology. It also contains a number of novel features, with its enhanced emphasis on both evolutionary function and the underlying neural mechanisms. These include feature boxes that describe key concepts in more detail, and researcher profiles that capture the contribution of some of the major figureheads in the field. A particular highlight is the series of questions at the end of each chapter, which encourage students to think more deeply about the issues raised, and to design experiments to test the competing hypotheses.’ Nicola S.

Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour of Wild Cattle Implications for Conservation Edited by Mario Melletti and James Burton

Covering all thirteen species of wild cattle, Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour of Wild Cattle brings together the contributions of international leading experts on the biology, evolution, conservation status and management of the tribe Bovini, providing: • A comprehensive review of current knowledge on systematic, anatomy and ecology of all wild cattle species (chapters 1 to 8); • A clear understanding of the conservation status of each species and the gaps in our current knowledge (chapters 9 to 20); • A number of case studies on conservation activities and an investigation of some of the most threatened and poorly understood species (chapters 21 to 27). An invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in behavioural ecology, evolutionary biology and conservation biology, this beautifully illustrated reference work reveals the extraordinary link between wild cattle and humans, the benefits some of these species have brought us, and their key roles in their natural ecosystems. ‘All of us are familiar with domestic cattle, buffalo, bison, and yaks, but the other species of wild cattle are mostly known only to people who live near them in Asia. This book brings all of them to life by telling us everything known about each of these species from Anoas to Tamaraws. The species accounts are comprehensive and exhaustive, making this a one-stop source for each of the recognized species of wild cattle and relatives. The remainder of the volume is a treasure trove of information about every aspect of the biology of this important group, providing a critical information base for future conservation actions. With most of the wild forms now listed as threatened or endangered to some extent, the information provided here will become ever more critical in helping to ensure their continued existence.’ Don E.

Zimmer provides a comprehensive knowledge base, ideally suited to assist students and marine mammal researchers develop and implement passive acoustic monitoring systems. ‘This book is unusual in that it combines underwater acoustics, signal processing and ecology in practical applications of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) to both marine mammals and anthropogenic noise … also sets the benchmark for a similar approach to PAM in air … Two useful practical aspects of the book make PAM more accessible … First, explicit description and examples of the use of the programme MatLab clarify the processing underlying PAM. Second, detailed discussion of the hardware and software requirements increase the chances of successful deployment … a ‘must read’ … Anyone with an interest in marine mammals, whether this interest is in acoustics, ecology, behaviour or conservation, will gain an insight into the important role of

Animal behaviour sound in the life of marine mammals and how sound can give a muchneeded, yet unobtrusive, window on the marine world.’ Peter McGregor, Cornwall College 2014 244 x 170 mm 368pp 978-1-107-42838-6 Paperback £29.99 / US$44.99 Also available 978-0-521-19342-9 Hardback £79.99 / US$129.99 For all formats available, see

Retaining the highly successful approach of the first edition, this is a synthesis of the role of seaweeds in underpinning the functioning of coastal ecosystems worldwide. It has been fully updated to cover the major developments of the past twenty years and remains a key resource for students and researchers. ‘The first edition has always been my desk-side reading for my courses on Biology of Algae and Ecophysiology and Biochemistry of Seaweeds, and a reference book for my undergraduate and graduate students. With the incorporation of the latest knowledge on seaweeds and the functioning of coastal ecosystems, and reference to the latest key papers, this significantly augmented second edition adds new content on topical subjects such as coalescence, molecular biology, community interactions, invasive species, chemical defenses, kleptoplasty, nutrient availability and eutrophication, UV exposure, and adaptation to wave action and other environmental changes such as ocean acidification. The chapter on seaweed mariculture has been considerably expanded and will be very useful for any aquaculture course in which seaweeds deserve full recognition for the biomass they represent (fifty-one per cent of the world mariculture production), their highly diversified applications and the key ecosystem services they provide.’ Thierry Chopin, University of New Brunswick

The Fundamentals of Horticulture Theory and Practice Edited by Chris Bird Sparsholt College

Essential reading for all those studying horticulture and keen gardeners. This clear introduction to the principles underlying the practical applications of horticulture opens up the excitement of plant growing and garden development without readers wading through complex information. The text supports the newly restructured RHS syllabus, and other horticultural qualifications. ‘It is fantastic to have one ultimate reference text that students can refer to at all levels and that covers both the science behind growing plants and the application of science in plant management, propagation and production. This is an up to date look at developments in the horticultural industry and growing techniques in harmony with traditional approaches to horticultural techniques and practices. Extremely thorough but easy to read, superbly illustrated and the revision questions at the end of each chapter are invaluable for those students who want to check their own learning and go further with their studies. The case studies are extremely useful and relevant to modern teaching and learning methods. I will definitely be recommending this as the new bible for my students at all levels.’ Caroline Wright, Nottingham Trent University Plants of

Constraint-based Reconstruction and Analysis Bernhard O. Palsson University of California, San Diego

Reflecting the latest developments, this textbook explains how quantitative and computable genotype-phenotype relationships can be built using a genome-wide basis of information about the gene portfolio of an organism. It has been developed through extensive classroom use, providing a conceptual framework in addition to invaluable modelling tools and computational approaches. Advance praise: ‘One of the defining challenges of systems biology is to determine the structures and mechanisms by which complex networks of genes, proteins and metabolites control cell processes and molecular dynamics. Bernhard Palsson is a leading pioneer in constructing and analyzing genomescale models of such networks. Here Palsson offers students an insider’s guided tour of the concepts, principles and techniques underlying this emerging field. The book is brilliantly laid out and offers professors wellstructured, much-needed material for a graduate-level course in systems biology and network science.’ James J.

Textbook

Statistics Explained An Introductory Guide for Life Scientists Second edition Steve McKillup Central Queensland University

Straightforward conceptual explanations of statistical methods for the life sciences, especially designed for students lacking a strong mathematical background. ‘Every so often, a researcher or teacher comes across a book and exclaims ‘I wish I had had a book like this when I started!’ … Statistics Explained is such a book. Steve McKillup writes with empathy for students’ anxiety about statistics. He replaces complex-looking formulae with graphics and realistic examples. He is a biologist writing for fellowbiologists … the book … explains why

the statistical test is needed before describing the test. Essential features of good survey and experimental design are clearly outlined … This is not ‘just another biostatistics textbook’. Its sheer readability will restore confidence to the most anxious student while experienced researchers will savour the clarity of the explanations of the common univariate and multivariate analyses … an ideal core text for anyone teaching or studying biostatistics …’ Andrew Boulton, University of New England, Australia

In this groundbreaking text, two worldrenowned experts present statistical methods for studying causal effects: how can we learn about the expected effect of an intervention or a change in environment? The authors discuss how we can assess such effects in simple randomized experiments, where the researcher controls the treatments, and in observational studies, where the subjects themselves may affect which treatment they receive. Advance praise: ‘This book offers a definitive treatment of causality using the potential outcomes approach. Both
