  • Non-Native Species

    Understanding the Impacts on Ecosystems and Societies
    • 1st Edition
    • Andrei Alyokhin
    • English
    Presently, virtually no areas on Earth remain sheltered from the arrival and establishment of non-native plants, insects, and animals, in large part due to human activities. Failure to address this issue may have dire consequences, including disruption of vital ecological processes, loss of agricultural, forestry, and fishery resources, and even serious disease epidemics within human populations. At the same time, most non-native species are not invasive, and attempts to eradicate them may themselves result in environmental, economic, and even social damage. Non-Native Species: Understanding the Impacts on Ecosystems and Societies provides a comprehensive introduction to the issues surrounding invasion biology, which is a prominent, but sometimes controversial, area of applied biology. It will cover the mechanisms of natural and human-mediated biological invasions, their consequences from ecological, economic, political, and ethical perspectives, and discuss management options available for prevention and/or mitigation of the negative impacts of invasive species.Written by an entomologist who studies invasive insects and plants and has spent over 20 years teaching a course on biological invasions, Non-Native Species: Understanding the Impacts on Ecosystems and Societies offers anecdotes, insights, and case studies from the author’s own work and research. This book is an ideal reference for early career researchers with an interest in invasion ecology, or an ideal course companion for students at the undergraduate and graduate levels enrolled in courses on invasive species, non-native species, or biological invasions, particularly those who plan to major, minor, or concentrate in entomology.

  • Immunological Aspects of Preterm Birth

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 4
    • Irina Burd MD
    • English
    Immunological Aspects of Preterm Birth, a volume in the Reproductive Immunology book series, bridges reproductiveimmunolo... of preterm birth to subtypes, phenotypes, and bedside prevention and treatment. This book reviews therole of the different immune mechanisms during pregnancy leading to preterm birth and fetal programming effects thatare connected to maternal immune activation. This book also discusses immune cells and their products, cytokines andchemokines, as central for the success of the pregnancy, from the process of implantation to parturition and the effects ofthe changes on fetal programming.While our knowledge on the role of immune cells and the inflammatory process in preterm birth has grown exponentiallyin the last 10 years, connecting basic science to clinical science and development of new therapeutics has not progressedas rapidly. This book assists researchers in understanding the basic immunologic mechanisms and inflammatory processesassociated with preterm birth and fills an urgent need for the development of therapeutics in this space.
