This book details the Nitidulidae fauna of Northeast India, a biodiversity hotspot. A taxonomic monograph, it serves as a resource for students and professional entomologists, providing keys, illustrations, descriptions, distribution maps, and life history data for all species.
This book deals with Nitidulidae fauna of Northeast India, a biodiversity hotspot of the world, giving possible details of all available species, and extensive field exploration data of different habits and habitats. It embodies the systematic position of the family in the natural classification of beetles, intra-familial classification, characterization of taxa from supra-generic to species levels, keys, illustrations, descriptions, habitat data, localities, distribution maps, synonymies, analyses of relationships amongst taxa, breeding behavior and life history, seasonality and abundance, etc.
The significance of taxonomic monographs on a coleopteran family, in a single volume can serve as a resource book to a wide range of people- such as students of Coleoptera (especially of the family Nitidulidae) of any region of the world, or professional entomologists and active researchers of beetles. The treatment of species and genera is also of interest to taxonomic workers of any other beetle family.
What is desperately needed is the realization of the evolutionary survival value of caring for others. This book links our humanities to a scientific understanding of human destiny to provide a key to meaning. We don’t have ‘forever’ to ‘get it!’
Contemporary biology focuses on genes and molecules, overlooking the living organisms themselves. This book redresses this imbalance by providing a new theory of what organisms are, and then putting it to work by recounting the story of evolution on Earth.
Knowledge of the effects of radiation has advanced dramatically. This book describes the current state of knowledge in radiation effects, the medical uses of radiation, and radiation protection. It also considers past nuclear disasters and trends in disarmament.
This book shows how molecular biology reduces life to programs (genes) directing machinery (proteins). This approach is crucial to solving medical and agricultural problems for the future of humanity and will appeal to anyone wanting to understand “what is life?”.
This guide to cytogenetic techniques summarizes chromosomal disorders with pictures and easy-to-understand laboratory procedures. It details modern techniques for geneticists, scientists, and those aspiring to establish a molecular cytogenetic lab.
This book presents the scientific basis for why Japanese food is a source of health and longevity. It details how to produce traditional foods, the healthy substances they contain, and highlights the cultural aspects of these national dishes.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a molecular fossil that tells the story of the evolution of the genetic code and the origin of life. Analysis of its pre-life sequences provides clear insights into how life began and shows why tRNA is required to generate life on Earth or another planet.
Eco-neurobiology investigates how environmental factors impact the brain. This book covers recent findings on how non-genetic factors—the food we eat, stress, and traumatic events—influence our minds, from everyday function to the development of disorders.
From bacteria to human cancer cells, organisms must survive in an “acidic world.” This book summarizes current research into the molecular mechanisms that allow life to thrive in acidic environments, opening up a new way of understanding life itself.
This book studies the thermodynamic bases of protein structure and function. Moving from physical chemistry principles to current topics in biochemistry, it details protein stability, ligand interactions, and allostery in a language that is rigorous yet easy to read.
