Beschreibung

Sharks, apex predators of the marine world, possess an extraordinary sense of smell that governs much of their behavior. "Shark Scent Detection" explores the intricacies of shark olfaction, revealing how these animals use their acute ability to detect scents, sometimes at concentrations of only one part per million, to hunt, navigate, and even find mates. This book uniquely emphasizes how critical scent detection is to their survival and ecological impact, particularly in the face of growing environmental challenges. Understanding the olfactory system is crucial, as it underpins much of shark behavior, making knowledge surrounding this sense vital for effective conservation efforts.

 
The book progresses from detailing the biological mechanisms of shark olfaction, including the structure of their olfactory organs and neural pathways, to examining how scent shapes their predatory behavior and ecological roles through case studies of different shark species. Finally, it addresses the conservation implications of disrupting shark olfaction, highlighting how pollutants and ocean acidification can impair their ability to detect prey and reproduce.

 
This comprehensive approach integrates findings from marine biology, neurobiology, and conservation biology, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the biology and conservation of these fascinating creatures.

Why Ecosystems Matter -...

Christopher Wills

Every one of Earth's teeming ecosystems is an evolutionary cauldron 
 
 
 
Christopher Wills's claim has its roots in an insight from Charles Darwin: the interactions between species in an ecosystem are a powerful driver of evolution. In this book Wills describes how, by using the latest genetic techniques, we are probing ecosystems and discovering that even the most apparently barren of them are rich in variety, especially of microbes. Exploring the many ways in which ecosystems have coped with past change, and how rapidly an ecosystem can develop complexity, Wills illuminates a pathway of hope for the natural world that we have so damaged and depleted. Our new genetic knowledge can help these evolutionary cauldrons to continue brewing richness and diversity, the better to heal our living world and to enable our own survival.

Weather Science - How...

Brian Clegg

Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes.

For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, the understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became some of the foremost users of supercomputers.

From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.

Time Bomb - Call the SWAT Team

Michael Mathiesen

There is a huge bomb that is ticking down to the moment when it must go off and it’s right underneath your feet. This almost unseen Time Bomb is so massive that it will kill every man woman, child, dog, cat, birds, insects, donkeys, horses, all the fish in the sea, the whales, the dolphins, plankton, trees, plants, flowers and every other thing that lives here on this planet. 
Time is ticking away and so I thought I’d better warn everyone. But there’s nowhere to run. We have to all take a stand by joining what I call the final SWAT Team. (Save our World Again Today) If you choose not to saddle up and fight the good fight - it’s curtains for the human race.  
In my new book, readers will learn about how Time Flies about the universe in waves, how the waves are created by the smallest particles in the subatomic world - Chronons and how they are all connected to one another and to every particle that makes you and your life exist. 
This is revolutionary new science based on events in my life and probably in yours that have interacted with mine in subtle ways such as the fact that you are now reading my text out of the billions upon billions of other texts on the Internet today. It's no accident, let me assure you. However, if you do not get a copy of this book in your hands within the next few minutes, time could be up for the human race, because this is the last segment of time where we have a chance to alter the future. 
It’s ironic also that Einstein’s famous equation of - E-mc2 was the key to the production of the most destructive forces humans have ever unleashed, the nuclear weapons that today threaten the greatest mass extinction in history, but in this work, we uncover a different equation that can and will produce the opposite effects of the most creative and life-saving of forces ever known. 
If you are a fan of major scientific breakthroughs this is the book for you
