TEXTBOOK

Ecology and Management of Terrestrial Vertebrate Invasive Species in the United States

Systems Analysis of Livestock Production

Edited by William C. Pitt, National Wildlife Research Center, Hilo, Hawaii, James Beasley, Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, Aiken, South Carolina, USA and Gary W. Witmer, National Wildlife Research Center, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA

Written by a globally-recognized authority, Systems Analysis of Livestock Production provides a comprehensive methodological overview of systems analysis (modelling/simulation/quantitative analysis) of livestock systems. It places the method of systems analysis into the epistemological context of livestock science. The book develops a rationale and a descriptive formalism for the use of systems analysis as a necessary element of livestock science. It provides the only methodological approach capable of considering, understanding and predicting the effects of genotype – environment interactions on the ecological and economic outcomes of livestock production.

This book presents information on vertebrate invasive species for which there is a history of policy and management in the United States. Part I presents information on policy and management topics associated with vertebrate invasive species, including biosecurity threats and risk assessment. Parts II-IV provide specific information related to invasive amphibians and reptiles (Part II), mammals (Part III), and birds (Part IV). Part V of the book proposes challenges and opportunities related to the future of vertebrate invasive species management.

Autophagy and Signaling

Cells in Evolutionary Biology

Edited by Esther Wong Series: Methods in Signal Transduction Series

Edited by Brian K. Hall, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and Sally Moody, George Washington University SMHS, Washington D.C., USA

This book aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the many signaling pathways regulating autophagy in response to different cellular needs. Discussion includes the current status and future directions of autophagy signaling research in different topics of health and disease. These include the roles of autophagy in regulating cell fate, immune response and host defense, nutrient sensing and metabolism, neural functions and homeostasis. The mechanisms and significance of cross-talk between autophagy and other cellular processes is also explored. Lastly, alterations in autophagy observed in aging and age-related pathologies is described.

This book summarizes the ways evolutionary theory has influenced the development of cell biology. Chapters explore Darwin’s use of cells in his theory of evolution. Weismann’s contrarian germ plasm theory will be assessed from several perspectives. The discovery of genes and the rise of genetics, the use of embryos for the identification of cell lineages, evidence of cytoplasmic inheritance in protozoans, and investigations of divergent nuclear control in prokaryotes and in eukaryotes provided new potential synergies between cell biology and evolutionary theory. The identification of cellular condensations as the modular basis of embryonic development returned cells to centre stage.

Evolution of the Structure and Function of the Notochord

Neurobiology of TRP Channels

Edited by P. E. Witten, Ghent University, Belgium and Brian K. Hall, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Edited by Tamara Rosenbaum, National Autonommous University of Mexico, Mexico City Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

Although it is the defining organ of Chordates, the notochord is perhaps the least understood of vertebrate organs because it is usually considered a transient structure only present in early embryonic development. Most tetrapods replace the notochord with cartilaginous or bony vertebral bodies and remnants of the notochord persist as intra- or intervertebral spaces and intervertebral discs. The presence of cartilage in the notochord of some tetrapods raises further important questions on the evolutionary relationships between notochordal cells and cartilage cells. This book explores these patterns of relationships between the notochord and vertebral axial chondrogenesis.

Neurobiology of TRP channels will review the current knowledge on how these important proteins participate in physiological and pathophysiological processes. The book is planned to include chapters by experts on the role of TRP channels in the peripheral and central nervous system including vision (both in flies and in vertebrates), olfaction, mechanotransduction, pain and thermosensation as well as their roles in the gut, heart, kidney, germinal cells, skin and also in longevity, providing us with a global picture of the most recent findings on the importance of these ion channels in the context of their role in a vast variety of physiological functions.

Mitochondrial Dynamics

Origin and Evolution of Metazoan Cell Types

Shaping Life and Death of the Cell Edited by Quan Chen Series: Oxidative Stress and Disease

Edited by Sally Leys and Andreas Hejnol, Sars International Centre for Marine Molecular Biology, University of Bergen, Norway Series: Evolutionary Cell Biology

Mitochondria are among the most important of eukaryotic cell organelles, often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell, because of the role they play in providing energy for cellular function. This book synthesizes what is known mitochondrial dynamics, including the fusion and fission of mitochondria, mitophagy (the destruction of damaged mitochondria), and the role of mitochondrial dynamics in disease such as Parkinson's disease and diabetes--among other topics. The volume is designed to appeal to molecular biologists, cell physiologists and anyone interested in the role mitochondria play in cell physiological function.

The evolution of animal diversity is strongly affected by the origin of novel cell and tissue types and their interactions with each other. Understanding the evolution of cell types will shed light on the evolution of novel structures, and in turn highlight how animals diversified.

Several cell types may also have been lost as animals simplified – for example did sponges have nerves and lose them? This book reveals the interplay between gains and losses, and provides readers with a better grasp of the evolutionary history of cell types. In addition, the book illustrates how new cell types allow a better understanding permitting the discrimination between convergence and homology.

BioGeoBEARS - A Bayesian Approach to Biogeography

Neotropical Biogeography

Nicholas J. Matzke, The Australian National University, Division of Evolution, Ecology, and Genetics, Acton, Canberra

Juan J. Morrone, Museo de Zoologia, Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM, Mexico City, Mexico Series: CRC Biogeography Series

Biogeography has been dominated by a “dispersal versus vicariance” debate. Users of computational methods, which included assumptions with respect to this debate, were often unaware of embedded assumptions. "BioGeoBEARS" (BioGeography with Bayesian (and likelihood) Evolutionary Analysis in R Scripts) is a new approach. Rather than choosing one model a priori, BioGeoBEARS uses multiple models, allowing researchers to perform model testing and model choice of the many different possible models of how current distributions come into being. This book explains the theory and practices of statistical model choice in general, and then explains how these can be applied in biogeography.

Brent D. Mishler Series: Species and Systematics This book is an extended argument for abandoning the various single concepts and the "species" rank. The author proposes that the rank of "species" be replaced by a pluralistic view. In such taxonomy, the smallest identifiable lineages would be used within various divergent phylogenies in a context dependent manner. In such a view, "species" represents different sorts of things depending on the organism/lineage being considered. In practice, this is what is already done although it is not formally recognized.

The Modulation of DNA Content

Evolution and Diversity of Hawaiian Drosophilia

Endopolyploidy, Polyteny, Aneuploidy and Chromatin Diminution

Patrick O'Grady, University of California, Berkeley, USA

Edited by T. Ryan Gregory, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada and Jillian D. Bainard, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada

Hawaiian Drosophila has become a well-known model system in modern biology. This book brings together all the historical information on Hawaiian Drosophilidae in a single reference with a useful summary of where Hawaiian Drosophila research resides and how work on this impressive radiation has molded the field of evolutionary biology. Rather than being presented in an encyclopedic fashion, this information is synthesized and placed in the context of broader areas of inquiry, including island biogeography, population genetics, and genomics.

This book reviews various ways DNA content is modulated in the cells of multicellular organisms. Although the processes of endopolyploidy, polyteny, aneuploidy, and chromatin diminution have been observed for well over a century, their biological significance has not been appreciated due to the lack, until recently, of molecular and statistical methods capable of examining such phenomena. Insights arising from the methods make this an opportune time to explore what is known—and what remains to be discovered—about these processes.

Blue carbon has emerged as a term that represents the distinctive carbon fluxes into or out of coastal wetlands such as marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses. The Blue Carbon concept has been rapidly emerging in science literature and is highly relevant politically, as nations and markets are developing blue carbon monitoring and management tools and policies. This book will be a compendium of the state of the science, the state of maps and mapping protocols, and the state of policy incentives (including economic valuation of blue carbon), with additional sections on operationalizing blue carbon projects and case studies with global relevance.

Mudskipper fish are native to mangroves and mudflats of the Indo-West Pacific, with one representative in tropical west Africa. Many species emerge to forage and find mates during low tide, and are able to tolerate prolonged periods out of water. These habits, together with the speed and agility they travel on the muddy, exposed littoral surfaces, thus earned them the common name ‘mudskippers’. They are equipped with both mechanical and physiological adaptations to traverse freely between aquatic and terrestrial habitats and are thus the subjects of many studies spanning from physiology to behavior.

Aquaculture Technology

Living Shorelines

Flowing Water and Static Water Fish Culture

The Science and Management of Nature-Based Coastal Protection

Richard Soderberg, Fisheries Program, Mansfield University, Mansfield, PA, USA Aquaculture Technology: Static and Flowing Water Fish Culture will be the first book to provide the skills to raise fish in both a static water and a flowing water aquaculture system with a pragmatic and quantitative approach. Following in the tradition of the author’s highly praised book, Flowing Water Fish Culture, this work will stand out as one that makes the reader understand the theory of each type of aquaculture system, but more importantly teach “how to think” rather than “what to think” about these systems. It can be used as a valuable reference for setting up aquaculture systems and for how to grow fish to be used in experiments involving nutrition, disease, water quality, etc.

The first 1,000 days, from conception to two years of age, is a critical period of growth and development. Exposures to dietary, environmental, hormonal, and other stressors during this window have been associated with an increased risk of poor health outcomes, some of which are irreversible. The proposed book will address this gap by exploring this concept across biological disciplines, linking concepts related to all biological fields to outcomes during the first 1,000 days (e.g. fetal growth and pregnancy outcomes) and beyond (e.g. gut microbiome and cardiovascular disease later in life). The strength of this book lies in its crossdisciplinary nature.

J. P. Dubey, A. Hemphill, University of Bern, Switzerland, R. Calero-Bernal, Postdoctoral Fellow, Animal Parasitic Diseases Laboratory, USDAARS,, Beltsville, MD, USA and G. Schares Neosporosis is a very important parasitic disease of animals, affecting the cattle industries and dog breeders worldwide. The global economic losses are estimated in billions from fetal death in cattle. The parasite has a wide host range, and it causes neurological disorders.

There is no vaccine to prevent this infection. Neosporosis can be used as a model for other diseases that are transmitted from the mother to their fetuses. Knowledge of the biology of this parasite, the genome and gene functions of Neospora, the epidemiology and different aspects of immunology, and its diagnosis and control have grown dramatically.

Neosporosis in Animals covers all these different aspects.

The Origin of Snakes Insights from Morphology and the Fossil Record Michael Wayne Caldwell This book presents perspectives on the past and present state of the understanding of snake origins. It reviews and critiques data and ideas from paleontology and neontology (herpetology), as well as ideas from morphological and molecular phylogenetics. The author reviews the anatomy and morphology of extant snakes. Methods are also critiqued, including those empirical and theoretical methods employed to hypothesize ancestral ecologies for snakes. The modern debate on squamate phylogeny and snake ingroup phylogeny using molecules and morphology is examined critically to provide insights on origins and evolution.
