Beschreibung

Diving Predators explores the captivating world of air-breathing marine animals that hunt underwater, examining their unique adaptations and crucial role in ocean ecosystems. The book reveals how creatures like penguins, seals, and cormorants have evolved remarkable physiological traits to thrive in challenging aquatic environments. These diving predators demonstrate sensory adaptations, such as enhanced vision, and physiological adaptations that allow them to conserve oxygen and withstand immense pressure.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with the principles of diving physiology, then exploring case studies of predator groups and their hunting methods. The book then considers their ecological role and conservation challenges.

 
By integrating diverse research from behavioral ecology to oceanography, Diving Predators provides a holistic understanding of these animals, highlighting the impact of climate change and overfishing on their survival and foraging behavior.

Why Am I Taller? - What Happens...

Elizabeth Howell, Dr. Dave Williams

What happens in space that causes the body to change? Learn about life in space from astronauts 
		 
Is the human body built for Mars? NASA’s studies on the International Space Station show we need to fix a few things before sending people to the Red Planet. Astronauts go into space with good vision and come back needing eyeglasses. Cognition and DNA expression could be affected for years. And then there’s the discomfort of living in a tight space with crewmates, depression, and separation from the people you love.
		 
Space doctors are on the case. You’ll meet the first twin to spend a year in space, the woman who racked up three physically challenging spacewalks in between 320 days of confinement, and the cosmonaut who was temporarily stranded on space station Mir while the Soviet Union broke up underneath him. What are we learning about the human body?
		 
As astronauts target moon missions and eventual landings on Mars, one of the major questions is how the human body will behave in “partial gravity.” How does the human body change on another world, as opposed to floating freely in microgravity? What can studies on Earth and in space tell us about planetary exploration? These questions will be important to the future of space exploration and to related studies of seniors and people with reduced mobility on Earth.
