Based on longitudinal studies—some into their fifth decade—of colonial waterbirds, this book provides a clear picture of the corrosive effects of heavy metals in the aquatic environment today. Colonial-nesting birds can serve as excellent bioindicators and sentinels for both human and ecological hea..

This book provides an avenue of synergy between scientists interested in hagfish physiology, molecular and evolutionary biology, morphology, and protection. It compiles scientific information on hagfishes that builds on previous knowledge while encouraging further expansion of scientific interest an..

Handbook of Mammalian Metabolism of Plant Compounds provides an extensive survey of how mammals metabolize compounds found in higher plants. Information about these compounds is important to researchers in pharmacology, toxicology, medical and natural products chemistry, and food sciences...

Feed represents the single greatest expense associated with bringing pigs to market weight. Therefore, if you can reduce the cost of feeding without detriment to pig performance, the economics of swine production will improve. The ingredient list for swine rations has become fairly limited, and the ..

Nutrient management is an important aspect of feeding livestock and poultry. Today, there is more attention directed toward this issue in animal production than ever before. The heightened awareness of the environmental impacts associated with animal production has caused animal nutritionists to ref..

Based on contributions from eminent experts in both fields, this book bridges the gap between palaeogeographers and palaeobiogeographers, two communities of researchers who work on the same issues but typically use different types of data. It emphasises the availability and use of electronic resourc..
