Beschreibung

Insect Vibration Codes explores the hidden world of insect communication, revealing how these creatures use substrate vibrations to convey complex messages. This fascinating realm of vibrational communication involves insects sending signals through plants, soil, and water, influencing everything from mating rituals to predator avoidance. For many insects, these vibrations are not just secondary signals but the primary means of conveying information, offering key insights into insect behavior and ecology.

The book examines the biophysics of vibrational transmission, detailing how substrates affect signal propagation and the diverse mechanisms insects use to generate and detect these signals. It uncovers how evolutionary pressures have shaped these communication strategies, highlighting adaptations that allow insects to thrive. Interestingly, some insects use vibrations to detect and avoid predators, while others, like certain predators, exploit vibrational cues to locate prey.

The book progresses from introducing the fundamental principles of vibrational communication to examining specific examples across various insect groups. It dedicates chapters to mating behaviors, predator-prey interactions, and social behaviors, culminating in practical applications such as pest control and bio-inspired sensors. This comprehensive approach, supported by existing literature and original research, makes Insect Vibration Codes a valuable resource for anyone studying nature, biology, or insect behavior.

Food Health and Climate - Why It...

Risto Isomäki

By favoring mostly plant-based foods, we can actually save the world – and live longer, healthier lives.
A shift to mostly plant-based diets and new food technologies could solve our most important and pressing global problems. Issues like climate change, hunger, freshwater shortages, the Sixth Extinction, antibiotic resistance, and the threat of new pandemics might just melt away with the new food revolution.
According to official estimates, meat and other animal-based products account for around 20% of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions. However, the real figure must be significantly higher. Emissions from soils of grazing lands and fields growing cattle feed have not been included in the official statistics. Methane emissions from polluted lakes, rivers, reservoirs and shallow seas are still classified as natural emissions. Besides, cattle raising and fields growing animal feed threaten to transform the whole Amazonian rainforest to semi-dry savannah. If this happens, animal agriculture will become, overwhelmingly, the main driver for global warming.
Food, Health and Climate explains why it is not possible to halt global warming without reducing meat consumption. On the other hand, if we manage to shift to more sustainable eating habits, billions of hectares of land will be freed from animal farming and could be used to grow new conservation and carbon-sink forests, or to produce raw materials for new wood- and biomass-based products that could replace metals, concrete, plastics, and chemicals.
Risto Isomäki is a Finnish science fiction and science writer and a leading expert on environmental issues. His books have been published in more than twenty Asian and European languages.
“The fiction and non-fiction books written by Risto Isomäki are searching for an equal in the world in their scope and visionarity.” – Professor Heikki Hiilamo, University of Helsinki

Sleep Well Take Risks Squish the...

MD Hasan Merali

Toddlers hold the secrets to having more fun and living a fulfilling life. These are secrets we once knew and ones that a Harvard-trained physician can help us rediscover.

Terrible twos, temper tantrums, and grocery store meltdowns are usually the first things that come to mind when people think of toddlers. But pediatric emergency medicine physician and researcher Dr. Hasan Merali has long thought toddlers are among the best people in our society and adults could do well to learn from them.

These extraordinary youngsters can be impulsive, yes, but with this comes a remarkable ability to take risks and ask questions—two qualities that can help us enjoy life more. Toddlers act kindly toward strangers, are eager to work with others to solve problems, and demonstrate extraordinary dedication and perseverance. These are all traits that many of us aspire to have in order to improve both our personal and professional lives.

To unpack this behavior, Dr. Merali includes many humorous examples from his experience as a pediatrician and father, but the core lessons are drawn from two decades worth of fascinating and surprising studies in child psychology and development. Merali connects these studies to research about adults to create the first book to offer adults important lessons that can be gleaned from toddlers.

Toddlers can teach you many things, including how to:
• Lose weight naturally • Sleep better • Build stronger friendships • Improve teamwork • Be more productive • Have more fun, and • Live a more fulfilling life

Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas shows us how toddlers bring out the best in humanity and how we can, too. It’s a whole new way of looking at and learning from toddlers.
