| degutopia: Wildlife Forensic Investigation John E. Cooper, Margaret E. Cooper, 2013-05-23 Wildlife forensics is the application of forensic science to the conservation and protection of non-domesticated animals, both in the wild and in captivity. Providing an in-depth introduction to this rapidly evolving field, Wildlife Forensic Investigation: Principles and Practice also chronicles aspects of the history of management, conservation, and environmental protection, with an emphasis on their global importance in the twenty-first century. The book examines the crucial role of wildlife forensic investigation with regard to live animals, dead animals and samples and covers national, regional, and international legislation. While the text particularly focuses on forensic science as it relates to wild animals, it also includes mention of plants and habitats because of their relevance to conservation. The book discusses animal welfare as well as the damage that can be inflicted on humans and property by wildlife. Offering access to sound evidence based on good science and obtained using the best available practices, the book is enhanced by case studies from experts who describe some of their own work. This resource is essential for those involved in a range of endeavours, including investigating wildlife crime, identifying animal remains, ascertaining the circumstances of death of wild species, and other legal proceedings and activities concerning wildlife. The forensic skills described in this book can be applied to a wide range of activities (not necessarily involving the legal process), including environmental impact assessments, insurance claims, governmental and other enquiries, checking of trading standards and the inspection of (for instance) pet-shops, animal boarding establishments, and zoological collections. The authors point out that one of the most important requirements of those persons involved in wildlife forensic work is to retain an open mind. Such personnel should also be conscious of new developments and evolving techniques and be able to anticipate situations where their investigative and scientific skills might be used to advantage—so-called horizon scanning. Examples of these are given. |

| degutopia: Árboles del trópico húmedo. Importancia socioeconómica Eugenia María Flores-Vindas, German Obando Vargas, 2014-01-01 Doce años han pasado desde que la primera edición de esta obra fue publicada. Son muchas las lecciones aprendidas, así como el conocimiento acumulado sobre el bosque neotropical y las especies forestales nativas, en especial aquellas de potencial o reciente introducción al mercado. Dicho conocimiento es un requisito indispensable para estimular el manejo y uso racional del bosque e impulsar su utilización en programas de reforestación, manejo de bosque natural, regeneración natural, fijación de CO2 o conservación de la biodiversidad. Esta obra contiene la información requerida para la identificación de los árboles (características principales, propiedades físicas y mecánicas, usos, durabilidad natural, entre otros aspectos); además, indica su distribución natural, el hábitat y valora su potencial e importancia comercial. En esta segunda edición se revisaron no solo los numerosos cambios taxonómicos que han afectado las especies consideradas en la última década (tanto a nivel de familia como de género y especie), sino que se introdujo nueva información sobre las propiedades fisicoquímicas de la madera y otros usos de las distintas especies. |

| degutopia: BSAVA Manual of Exotic Pets Anna Meredith, Cathy Johnson Delaney, 2010-05-03 This remains the Foundation Manual for information across the range of exotic pets, from small mammals, through birds, reptiles and amphibians, to invertebrates. Commoner pets, such as rabbits, rodents and budgies retain their place. However, the ever-increasing range of non-traditional pets encountered by the veterinary surgeon in practice is reflected in coverage of some new groups, such as marsupials, ratites and crocodilians. |
| degutopia: Rodent Societies Jerry O. Wolff, Paul W. Sherman, 2007-05-15 Rodent Societies synthesizes and integrates the current state of knowledge about the social behavior of rodents, providing ecological and evolutionary contexts for understanding their societies and highlighting emerging conservation and management strategies to preserve them. It begins with a summary of the evolution, phylogeny, and biogeography of social and nonsocial rodents, providing a historical basis for comparative analyses. Subsequent sections focus on group-living rodents and characterize their reproductive behaviors, life histories and population ecology, genetics, neuroendocrine mechanisms, behavioral development, cognitive processes, communication mechanisms, cooperative and uncooperative behaviors, antipredator strategies, comparative socioecology, diseases, and conservation. Using the highly diverse and well-studied Rodentia as model systems to integrate a variety of research approaches and evolutionary theory into a unifying framework, Rodent Societies will appeal to a wide range of disciplines, both as a compendium of current research and as a stimulus for future collaborative and interdisciplinary investigations. |
