Quantitative Viral Ecology - Dynamics Of Viruses And Their Microbial Hosts

by Joshua S. Weitz

94,63€ + 10% CARD

free shipping

 When we think about viruses we tend to consider ones that afflict humans--such as those that cause influenza, HIV, and Ebola. Yet, vastly more viruses infect single-celled microbes. Diverse and abundant, microbes and the viruses that infect them are found in oceans, lakes, plants, soil, and animal-associated microbiomes. Taking a vital look at the

 Despite decades of developments in immunization and drug therapy, tuberculosis remains among the leading causes of human mortality, and no country has successfully eradicated the disease. Reenvisioning tuberculosis from the perspective of population biology, this book examines why the disease is so persistent and what must be done to fight it. Trea

Ecology Of Climate Change - The Importance Of Biotic Interactions

by Eric Post

OUT OF STOCK OR NOT AVAILABLE

 Rising temperatures are affecting organisms in all of Earth's biomes, but the complexity of ecological responses to climate change has hampered the development of a conceptually unified treatment of them. In a remarkably comprehensive synthesis, this book presents past, ongoing, and future ecological responses to climate change in the context of tw

The Theory Of Sex Allocation

by Eric L. Charnov

 This book is the first comprehensive treatment of sex allocation from the standpoint of modern evolutionary theory. It shows how the determination of sex ratio, resource allocation to sperm versus egg within simultaneous hermaphroditism, and the evolution of sex reversal can he explained as examples of a single process. The genetical theory, develo

Population Ecology Of Individuals

by Adam Lomnicki

 Shows that the overall dynamical behavior of populations must be understood in terms of the behavior of individuals. The author contends that further progress in population ecology requires taking into account individual differences other than sex, age, and taxonomic affiliation - unequal access to resources, for instance.

 In 1951, the geneticist Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza was teaching in Parma when a student told him about rich church records of demography and marriages between relatives. After convincing the Church to open its records, Cavalli-Sforza, Moroni, and Gianna Zei embarked on a landmark study. This book assembles and analyzes the team's research.

Modeling Populations Of Adaptive Individuals

by Bret C. Harvey e Steven F. Railsback

OUT OF STOCK OR NOT AVAILABLE

 Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of be
