Books in Agricultural and biological sciences

The Agricultural and Biological Sciences collection advances science-based knowledge for the improvement of animal and plant life and for secure food systems that produce nutritious, novel, sustainable foods with minimal environmental impact. Food Science titles include not only those products from agriculture but all other aspects from food production to nutrition, health and safety, chemistry to security, policy, law and regulation. Biological Sciences address animal behaviour and biodiversity, organismal and evolutionary biology, entomology, marine biology and aquaculture, plant science and forestry.

      This two-volume work presents a summary and review of the current state of lobster biology, ecology, physiology, behavior, and management. It emphasizes the biology of clawed lobsters (Nephropidae) and spiny lobsters (Palinuridae), with attention also given to slipper lobsters (Scyllaridae) and coral lobsters (Synaxidae).The first chapter of Volume 1 provides an overview of the general aspects of lobster biology that serves as an introduction for readers of both volumes. Subsequent chapters examine the topics of growth, neurobiology, reproduction, nutrition, pathology, social behavior, and migration patterns.The chapters in Volume II consider the ecology, population dynamics, fishery biology, and aquaculture of spiny and clawed lobsters. The topics selected in both volumes represent areas of current research whose findings have not been previously synthesized into a coherent form.An important feature of these volumes is the emphasis on the interaction between biology and management and culture. Many of the contributors have done research in both applied and basic biology and can articulate both points of view. The interaction between basic and applied research is of fundamental importance in these volumes in which management aspects of the research have been integrated with the basic biology of lobsters.The Biology and Management of Lobsterswill be of interest to crustacean biologists, marine biologists and ecologists, zoologists, physiologists, animal behavior researchers, aquaculturalists, fisheries biologists and managers of fisheries, neurobiologists, pathologists, and food scientists.

      Advances in Veterinary Science and Comparative Medicine, Volume 23: Basic and Clinical Aspects of Veterinary Immunology provides information pertinent to the basic and applied aspects of veterinary immunology. This book discusses the biology of immune responses, which is significant in the understanding of disease processes in a number of animal species. Organized into 10 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of immunoglobulin classes observed in various animal species, with emphasis on the role of colostral and local immunity in the neonatal ungulate. This text then discusses the importance of the immune response to the well-being of an individual. Other chapters consider the clinical manifestation of diseases observed in primary and acquired immune deficiencies. This book discusses as well the mechanisms by which humoral and cellular immune factors effect their action on bacteria. The final chapter deals with toxic substances or environmental contaminants that cause aberrant immune responses. This book is a valuable resource for immunologists and clinicians.
