  • Current Perspectives on the Functional Design of the Avian Respiratory System

    by John N. Maina ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Birds have and continue to fascinate scientists and the general public. While the avian respiratory system has unremittingly been investigated for nearly five centuries, important aspects on its biology remain cryptic and controversial. In this book, resolving some of the contentious issues, developmental-, structural- and functional aspects of the avian lung-air sac system are particularized: it ... Read more

  • Bioengineering Aspects in the Design of Gas Exchangers

    Comparative Evolutionary, Morphological, Functional, and Molecular Perspectives

    by John N. Maina ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book encapsulates over three decades of the author’s work on comparative functional respiratory morphology. It provides insights into the mechanism(s) by which respiratory means and processes originated and advanced to their modern states. Pertinent cross-disciplinary details and facts have been integrated and reexamined in order to arrive at more robust answers to questions regarding the ... Read more

  • The Biology of the Avian Respiratory System

    Evolution, Development, Structure and Function

    Edited by John N. Maina ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The central focus of this book is the avian respiratory system. The authors explain why the respiratory system of modern birds is built the way it is and works the way that it does. Birds have been and continue to attract particular interest to biologists. The more birds are studied, the more it is appreciated that the existence of human-kind on earth very much depends directly and indirectly on ... Read more

  • Structure and Evolution of Invertebrate Nervous Systems

    by Andreas Schmidt-Rhaesa, Steffen Harzsch, Günter Purschke ...
    The nervous system is particularly fascinating for many biologists because it controls animal characteristics such as movement, behavior, and coordinated thinking. Invertebrate neurobiology has traditionally been studied in specific model organisms, whilst knowledge of the broad diversity of nervous system architecture and its evolution among metazoan animals has received less attention. This is ... Read more

  • Fish Physiology: Hypoxia

    Edited by Jeffrey G. Richards, Colin Brauner, Anthony P. Farrell ...
    Series Book 27 - Fish Physiology
    Periods of environmental hypoxia (Low Oxygen Availability) are extremely common in aquatic systems due to both natural causes such as diurnal oscillations in algal respiration, seasonal flooding, stratification, under ice cover in lakes, and isolation of densely vegetated water bodies, as well as more recent anthropogenic causes (e.g. eutrophication). In view of this, it is perhaps not surprising ... Read more

  • Bones and Cartilage

    Developmental and Evolutionary Skeletal Biology

    by Brian K. Hall ...
    Bones and Cartilage provides the most in-depth review ever assembled on the topic. It examines the function, development and evolution of bone and cartilage as tissues, organs and skeletal systems. It describes how bone and cartilage is developed in embryos and are maintained in adults, how bone reappears when we break a leg, or even regenerates when a newt grows a new limb, or a lizard a tail. ...

  • Dengue Virus

    Edited by Alan L. Rothman ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Scientific research on dengue has a long and rich history. The literature has been touched by famous names in medicine- Benjamin Rush, Walter Reed, and Albert Sabin, to name a very few- and has been fertile ground for medical historians . The advances made in those early investigations are all the more remarkable for the limited tools available at the time. The demonstration of a viral etiology ... Read more
