Amphibian and Reptile Adaptations to the Environment Interplay Between Physiology and Behavior

Amphibian and Reptile Adaptations to the Environment Interplay Between Physiology and Behavior

Despite their diversity amphibians and reptiles share many physiological traits such as their dependence on external heat sources for body temperature regulation that are of pivotal importance to their ability to cope with the environment. Considerable variation in physiological capabilities exists in these groups and often can be related to seasonal and geographic differences in environmental parameters. This book provides a comprehensive and integrative view of the interplay between physiology and behavior in amphibians and reptiles leading to a better understanding of the subject. The book covers topics that have recently been in the spotlight for scientific research on the physiology behavior and conservation of amphibians and reptiles. It brings together recent information from a range of disciplines that address critical topics for understanding their biology. As these studies are scattered across articles in specialized journals this book provides a single and expanded source summarizing such advancements. Amphibian and Reptile Adaptations to the Environment: Interplay Between Physiology and Behavior maintains a solid scientific basis for the biological topics covered. However it presents the material in a clear and direct manner so that it is accessible even to non-biologists interested in the basic biology behavior and ecology of these animals as well as how these elements are connected to their conservation. | Amphibian and Reptile Adaptations to the Environment Interplay Between Physiology and Behavior

Fruit Flies (Tephritidae) Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior

Fruit Flies (Tephritidae) Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the most destructive agricultural pests in the world eating their way through acres and acres of citrus and other fruits at an alarming rate and forcing food and agriculture agencies to spend millions of dollars in control and management measures. But until now the study of fruit flies has been traditionally biased towards applied aspects (e. g. management monitoring and mass rearing)-understandable given the tremendous economic impact of this species. This work is the first that comprehensively addresses the study of the phylogeny and the evolution of fruit fly behavior. An international group of highly renowned scientists review the current state of knowledge and include considerable new findings on various aspects of fruit fly behavior phylogeny and related subjects. In the past the topics of phylogeny and evolution of behavior were barely addressed and when so often superficially. Fruit Flies (Tephritidae): Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior is a definitive treatment covering all behaviors in a broad range of tephritids. | Fruit Flies (Tephritidae) Phylogeny and Evolution of Behavior

Adaptive Radiation Therapy

Adaptive Radiation Therapy

Modern medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies are so complex and computer driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists to know exactly what is happening at the point-of-care. Medical physicists responsible for filling this gap in knowledge must stay abreast of the latest advances at the intersection of medical imaging and radiation therapy. This book provides medical physicists and radiation oncologists current and relevant information on Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART) a state-of-the-art approach that uses a feedback process to account for patient-specific anatomic and/or biological changes thus delivering highly individualized radiation therapy for cancer patients. The book should also benefit medical dosimetrists and radiation therapists. Adaptive Radiation Therapy describes technological and methodological advances in the field of ART as well as initial clinical experiences using ART for selected anatomic sites. Divided into three sections (radiobiological basis current technologies and clinical applications) the book covers: Morphological and biological biomarkers for patient-specific planningDesign and optimization of treatment plans Delivery of IMRT and IGRT intervention methodologies of ARTManagement of intrafraction variations particularly with respiratory motion Quality assurance needed to ensure the safe delivery of ART ART applications in several common cancer types / anatomic sites The technology and methodology for ART have advanced significantly in the last few years and accumulated clinical data have demonstrated the need for ART in clinical settings assisted by the wide application of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). This book shows the real potential for supplying every patient with individualized radiation therapy that is maximally accurate and precise.
