Sinossi

"Praying Mantis" explores the fascinating world of these insects, revealing how their unique sensory perception and predatory behavior make them evolutionary marvels. The book dives into the insect biology of mantises, highlighting their hunting strategies and adaptations. Discover how mantises can perceive depth with a single eye and capture prey much larger than themselves, showcasing the complexity of insect vision and predator-prey relationships. 

 
The book examines three core themes: sensory perception, biomechanics, and ecological role, presenting data from anatomy analyses, high-speed video, and experimental studies. It builds its argument upon established biological research in entomology, neurobiology, and biomechanics. Beginning with morphology and sensory biology, the book progresses to the biomechanics of the mantis's predatory strike and its role within the ecosystem. Readers will gain insights into evolutionary adaptation and the intricate dance between predator and prey.

 
This book emphasizes the mantis as an example of evolutionary optimization, perfect for students, nature enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the insect world. The book’s approach is fact-based and accessible, making complex concepts understandable through clear explanations and examples. The book also touches on applications in robotics and engineering, drawing inspiration from mantis predatory skills.

Squirrel - How a Backyard...

Nancy F. Castaldo

Squirrels are a common sight, seemingly everywhere in wild and urban nature. But squirrels are more than amusing backyard entertainers, and few of us know much about them or fully appreciate their role in keeping the environment healthy. As stress on the natural world intensifies, should we be paying more attention to the plight of squirrels?In Squirrel, Nancy Castaldo shines new light on this familiar backyard mammal, exploring their staggering diversity and the many surprising ways they shape our world, our communities, and our cultures. Each chapter explores an aspect of squirrels and their close and sometimes fraught association with humans: their importance to myriad ecosystems through sophisticated food-caching strategies; their introduction to nineteenth-century urban parks as adorable ambassadors for nature; their complicated global status as both invasive and endangered; their role as celebrated cultural icons and social media memes; and ultimately, why we must prevent population declines and protect their well-being while we can. Like other wildlife species, squirrels are increasingly stressed by climate change, and their speculative fate may foreshadow our own. The book includes a detailed bibliography, an exhaustive list of squirrel species and their status, and tips for coexisting peaceably with squirrels in our yards and neighborhoods.
