Summarizes the current research findings on the sound communication of insects, emphasizing its evolution within the context of natural history. Combining neurophysical studies with behavioral research, Bailey (zoology, U. of Western Australia) considers not only the physical and physiological aspects, but also ecology, behavior, and evolution. Focusing on the primary use of sound in mating, he discusses such topics as acoustic strategies, chorusing, sound production and recognition, localization, and avoiding predation while attracting mates.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This is the first book to provide a detailed process for planning, designing, implementing, and testing knowledge-based systems for natural resource management. It presents material on all these major aspects of building a deliverable system. Equipped with these techniques, managers and scientists will improve their ability to solve complex resource problems that are multidisciplinary in scope and for which mathematical approaches prove insufficient. Fully describing the various components of these systems, this important work includes discussions on system design, knowledge acquisition, prototyping, knowledge verification and validation, implementation, and system delivery. To further illuminate the material presented, it contains a tutorial on the knowledge-based programming environment PROLOG as well as many examples of expert system development, including one for forest management. Building Knowledge-Based Systems for Natural Resource Management demonstrates how knowledge can be effectively organized and administered, enabling natural resource professionals to respond intelligently to natural resource problems. This book also provides researchers and students with an essential resource for understanding this useful technology. 244 pp. Englisch. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780412319808

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book considers research on insect acoustic behaviour from two divergent approaches to insect behaviour. The first approach involves the current rediscovery of sexual selection and involves the testing of many hypotheses concerning the relative importance of different behavioural strategies to the fitness of the individual. The other approach considers the role of specific neurones within the insect's auditory system. This book aims to integrate these aspects of evolutionary biology and neurophysiology.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 244 pp. Englisch.
