    Wellbeing and Ethics of Animals in Shelters provides an up-to-date, all-in-one resource for animal care and shelter professionals seeking the latest guidance on improving sheltered animals’ quality of life. Central chapters review health and behavioral assessments for shelter animals, offer guidance for the care of shelter cats and dogs, and discuss key steps to the successful adoption of sheltered animals. Latter chapters explore the human component of shelter animal care. The book is an accessible and important resource for animal care and shelter professionals, animal welfare researchers, and students of animal behavior, biology, and veterinary sciences.Thousands of unwanted dogs, cats, and other animals are brought under the care of shelters around the world each year. The transition can be a frightening and stressful experience with physiological and behavioral implications for the animals. Written by renowned animal welfare experts, this book not only covers guidance on improving the lives of sheltered animals, but also explores how animals come to be under the care of shelters and the ethical considerations of sheltering animals.

  • Lifestyle Epigenomics

    • 1st Edition
    • Ana B Crujeiras
    • English
    Lifestyle Epigenomics, a new volume in the Translational Epigenetics series, comprehensively details the interplay between lifestyle factors and epigenetic modifications associated with the onset of noncommunicable diseases and aging, shedding light on potential preventive and therapeutic strategies for disease from an epigenomics perspective. Here, more than 35 international experts in the field consider how lifestyle choices or habits can condition or prevent disease, along with tools for new research, from bioinformatics methodology to non-invasive sampling.Early, foundational chapters are followed by all-inclusive sections on epigenetic machinery in health and disease; dietary factors and epigenetics; adiposity and physical activity and epigenetics; psychological stress, social environment, toxins and contaminants exposure effects on epigenetics; and transgenerational and childhood epigenetics. To support understanding, each chapter includes a summary and key points lists, terms and definition, as well as research case studies outlining core components of recent studies, detailing their conditions, research techniques involved, and outcomes.
