Sinopse

Moth Scent Navigation explores the remarkable ability of moths to navigate using scent, specifically pheromones, to locate mates over vast distances. This book delves into the sensory biology and animal behavior that underpins this feat, revealing how moths detect and interpret faint airborne signals amidst complex environmental conditions. One intriguing aspect is the moth's use of specialized antennal receptors and neural pathways, allowing them to navigate turbulent scent plumes effectively. The book addresses how moths manage to accomplish the seemingly impossible task of detecting these faint chemical signals, highlighting the interplay between their specialized sensory organs, neural processing, and adaptive flight patterns.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with an introduction to pheromones and their role in moth communication. It then explores the neurobiology of olfaction in moths, focusing on the structure and function of their antennae and neural pathways. A significant portion of the book analyzes pheromone plume dynamics, examining how environmental factors affect scent molecule distribution.

 
The approach integrates findings from chemical ecology, neurobiology, aerodynamics, and behavioral ecology. This comprehensive perspective makes Moth Scent Navigation a valuable resource for researchers, students, and anyone fascinated by the intricate sensory world of these nocturnal creatures.

    "Some dogs, like some people, just can't abide a quiet life," writes the author of the national bestseller, The Dog Who Came to Stay, in this warm and touching memoir. 
     
     
     
    Penny the basset shows up at the Borlands' Connecticut farmhouse on a cold, snowy day—head held high, tail wagging, as if she were a long-awaited guest. Hal and Barbara Borland were no strangers to strays. Pat, the rabbit hound thousands of people came to know in The Dog Who Came to Stay, had also appeared one winter, staying to become the family's dear companion. Now, Pat is gone, and Hal and Barbara are bereft without canine company. They fall in love with Penny—and she seems to fit right in. 
     
     
      
    Penny is a delightful dog—short-legged, flop-eared, full of fun and curiosity. And she loves people, so much so that she leaves the Borlands to go visiting elsewhere, often settling in with a different family for days on end. Indeed, Hal and Barbara admire her for her spirit of individuality and independence. 
     
     
      
    Though she never truly belonged to them, the Borlands agreed that Penny was a dog well worth loving—and so will listeners.

    From Wolf to Supermutt and...

    When Erika adopted Mila, she naively believed that, like instant soup, she wouldn't have to go through the process of cooking all the ingredients from scratch. She wouldn't have to house train, obedience train or intensely socialise a mature dog. Mila quickly proved how misguided she was! Her favourite pastime was zealously chewing Persian rugs while the living room became her personal toilet. Alternatively, when asked to sit, lie down, or come, she'd throw herself on her back in submission and refuse to move. Thunder and fireworks sent her rushing around in a mindless panic, while the sight of other dogs turned her into a screaming banshee. Does this sound familiar?
    Introducing From Wolf to Supermutt and Everything In Between, a book to guide you and your dog to happiness and harmony. Predominantly written with information based on research studies, the book also includes anecdotes based on Erika's own experience to give it the personal factor. Erika's portrayal of all things canine begins with their evolution and domestication, the fundamental processes that triggered our ongoing relationship with dogs. Additionally, the book banishes a few myths, and explores the significance of nature vs nurture, including the importance of genetics, breeding and socialisation. Understanding how our dogs think and learn, knowing the source of canine behaviour problems, including the impact of detrimental and positive training methods, we can pre-empt many behaviour problems and positively shape our dogs into happy hounds.
