Animal Cognition in Nature |
|
The idea that animals behave in ways that are mere robotic responses to stimuli (e.g. sign stimuli or conditioned stimuli) or just the result of a specific set of conditioning programs can no longer be sustained. Field studies regularly record complex behaviors where animals integrate the results of past experience with current situations and the survival and reproductive challenges of the moment. For example, food storage behavior requires the integration of remembered maps of the environment, the whereabouts of new and stored food sources and the current needs of nutrition and survival. In this book, the editors bring together results from studies on all kinds of animals to show how thinking on many behaviors as truly cognitive processes can help us to understand the biology involved. Taking ideas and observations from the wide range of research into animal behavior leads to unexpected and stimulating ideas. A space is created where the work of field ecologists, evolutionary ecologists, and experimental psychologists can interact and contribute to a greater understanding of complex animal behavior, and to the development of a new and coherent field of study.

Horse Feeding and Nutrition |
|
This is the second edition of Horse Feeding and Nutrition which was originally published in 1980. It provides the latest information available for those interested in the feeding and nutrition of horses. This new edition has been entirely revised to include the large amount of new research information that has become available since publication of the first edition. Three new chapters have been added, entitled Feeding and Health-Related Problems, The Complexity of Proper Bone Formation, and Exercise Physiology. New feed and food crops, improved methods of production and processing, increased productivity of animals and crops, changes in animal products including more lean and less fat in meat and less fat in milk, longer shelf-life requirements of animal food products, and a myriad of new technological developments have resulted in a need to continually re-evaluate nutrient requirements and supplementation. Sample diets are given, useful as guides in developing diets for horses. Suggested levels of protein, minerals, and vitamins for use in horse diets are

Nitrogen and Energy Nutrition of Ruminants |
|
This comprehensive volume examines the interrelationships of nitrogen and energy nutrition of ruminants. It provides exhaustive coverage of basic concepts, applications, and new research developments. Rumen microbial activity is emphasized. The author, an expert in animal nutrition, discusses new systems of determining dietary energy requirements, the effect of processing feedstuffs, and stress factors. He reviews the availability of nutrients in grains, distillers' grain residues, oilseed meals, molasses, silages, pastures, crop residues, and aquatic plants. Growth stimulants, nutritional management of ruminants in feedlots and pastures, and the value of feed additives are also among the topics considered. The scope of coverage provided by this volume will make it the leading reference for teachers, researchers, consultants, livestock producers, feed manufacturers, and all others who are involved in ruminant feeding and nutrition. From the Preface: This volume covers research on various nitrogen and energy feedstuffs and defines terminology commonly u

The Anatomical Basis of Mouse Development |
|
The purpose of this book is to act as a resource on anatomical information for developmental biologists trying to elucidate the mechanics underpinning mouse embryogenesis. It contains a series of essays describing the developmental anatomy of the major organ systems and their constituent tissues, together with indexes detailing when tissues first appear and which tissues are present in each stage of mouse embryogenesis. There are also diagrams showing developmental lineages for most of the major organ systems with sufficient explanatory text to make them comprehensible to those as yet unfamiliar with the richness of mouse developmental anatomy. This book is readable by someone with relatively little knowledge of mouse developmental anatomy, while also being helpful to the professional anatomist.
