This volume presents a comprehensive and critical examination of the nutrient requirements of humans and domestic animals from a comparative perspective. Emphasis is placed on quantitative nutrient needs for maintenance, growth, reproduction, lactation, and other physiological functions. Drawing upon decades of experimental research, the work integrates biochemical, physiological, and practical…
This volume presents a comprehensive, comparative analysis of the biological processes involved in fertilization across a wide range of organisms. It emphasizes morphological, biochemical, and immunological mechanisms governing gamete formation, motility, recognition, and fusion. Topics include comparative gametology, sperm motility and metabolism, acrosome reactions, gamete surface chemistry, …
The Development of Modern Biology is a historical survey of the major ideas, discoveries, and methodological advances that shaped modern biological science. Written primarily for senior secondary (VI form) and early university students, the book traces the evolution of biological thought from early natural history through cell theory, heredity, evolution, and experimental biology. It emphasizes…
Organic Analysis Using Ion‑selective Electrodes, Volume 2: Applications and Experimental Procedures is a specialized monograph that focuses on the practical applications of ion‑selective electrodes (ISEs) in organic and biochemical analysis. Written by T. S. Ma and S. S. M. Hassan, this volume complements Volume 1 (Methods) by providing detailed experimental procedures and real‑world anal…
This book presents a detailed study of the biological and physiological mechanisms involved in tree growth and development. It covers both internal processes and environmental factors affecting trees, making it an essential reference for students and researchers in forestry and plant sciences.
Behavior by William G. Van der Kloot is an introductory textbook that examines the biological and physiological foundations of animal behavior. The book presents behavior as a natural biological phenomenon, integrating insights from ethology, neurobiology, psychology, and physiology. Topics covered include: Sensory mechanisms and stimulus–response relationships Neural control of behavior …
This book provides a modern approach to plant taxonomy by incorporating biosystematics, emphasizing evolutionary relationships, genetic variation, and experimental methods in classification. It is widely used by advanced students and researchers in botany.
