Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of vertebrates. Teleosts display remarkable variation in their modes of reproduction, and this volume is intended to provide a framework for understanding the remarkable reproductive diversity of this group. It describes their reproductive biology using, wherever possible, phylogenetic analyses and life-history theory as a means to interpret the information. The book addresses the genetic, physiological, behavioural, ecological, evolutionary and applied aspects of teleost reproduction in a comparative framework that emphasises the adaptive basis of reproductive diversity. Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes provides a comprehensive synthesis of fish reproduction that will be of great interest to life scientists, particularly ecologists, evolutionary biologists, physiologists and advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and research workers requiring a comprehensive overview of fish reproduction. The book is suitable for courses in fish biology and ecology, reproductive physiology and reproductive genetics. It also addresses applied questions and will be of value for courses on fisheries science and aquaculture. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where biological sciences, fisheries science and aquaculture are studied and taught should have several copies of this important book on their shelves.

Electromagnetics in biology
Автор: M. Kato
Год издания:
This book will serve as an ideal guide to the relatively new and complex field of bioelectromagnetics for students and researchers interested in the interaction of biological systems and electromagnetic fields. Coverage details:(1) biological responses of human and animals, both in vivo and in vitro methodologies, to magnetic and/or electromagnetic field exposure, (2) characteristics of effective fields, (3) hypotheses to explain possible mechanisms of interaction between the fields and cells, and (4) induced current in ELF and induced heat in RF fields as key interaction mechanisms.
Морфология, систематика и происхождение усатых гольцов рода Orthrias (Teleostei: Balitoridae: Nemacheilinae)
Автор: А. М. Прокофьев
Год издания:
В книге дан обзор усатых гольцов рода Orthrias, распространенных в водоемах Европы и северной Азии, приведены диагноз рода, подробное описание шести входящих в него видов, два из которых (O. potaninorum и O. sawadai) описаны как новые; дана определительная таблица. Переднеазиатские виды, ранее относимые к этому роду, выделены в род Oxynoemacheilus, не имеющий близких родственных связей с Orthrias. Плохо известный вид O. merga из Восточного Предкавказья, возможно, также принадлежит к Oxynoemacheilus. Наиболее близкими родами к Orthrias s. str. считаются нагорноазиатские Triplophysa и Hedinichthys. Обсуждается происхождение и историческое развитие рода Orthrias. Для зоологов, ихтиологов, работников рыбохозяйственных учреждений, зоогеографов и специалистов по охране природы.
