Phylogenies and the Comparative Method in Animal Behaviour
This book considers the impact of modern phylogenetic comparative methods on the study of animal behaviour. It discusses the main issues that need to be considered in the design of a comparative study, and reviews statistical methods that are proposed for such research. Possible differences between the evolution of behaviour and the evolution of morphology using some of these modern techniques, comparative data, and phylogenies, are also considered.

Iguanas
In what is certain to be the key reference on iguanas for years to come, some of the world's leading experts offer a clear and accessible account of the latest research on the evolution, behavioral ecology, and conservation of these highly visible and increasingly endangered creatures, much loved by professional herpetologists and hobbyists alike. The book begins with an introduction by noted iguana biologist Dr. Gordon Burghardt that examines the state of iguana research--past, present, and future--with an emphasis on social behavior. Three major sections follow, each opening with a synthesis by the volume editors, who survey the current status and likely future direction of investigations in the pertinent area. The first section focuses on different aspects of the taxonomic and morphological diversity of iguanas and includes a complete checklist of species. In the second section, contributors address the behavior and ecology of iguanas and provide compelling evidence that both may be far more complex than previously appreciated.The third and final section, highlighting the threats facing iguana populations today, describes the broad array of innovative conservation strategies that will be needed to help ensure their survival. Illustrated throughout with photographs, distribution maps, tables, and figures, this volume will be the definitive resource for anyone--professional or curious amateur--interested in iguanas.

Letters in Plautus
The letters in Plautus are potent tools for making and thinking about Plautine comedy inside Plautine comedy. Emilia Barbiero demonstrates that Plautus' embedded letters reify the internal performance and evince its theatricality by means of the epistolary medium's script-like ability to precipitate presence in absence. These missives thus serve as emblems of the dramatic script, and in their onstage composition and recitation they cast a portrait of the plays' textual origins into the plays themselves. But by virtue of their inscription with a premise which is identical to that of the comedies they inhabit, the Plautine letters also reproduce the relationship between the playwright's Greek models and his Latin translations: the mirror effect created by a dramatic text inscribed, read and realized within a dramatic text whose plot it also duplicates generates a mise-en-abyme which ultimately serves to contemplate problems of novelty and literary ownership that beset Plautus' literary endeavor.

Plastic Bodies
In Plastic Bodies Emilia Sanabria examines how sex hormones are enrolled to create, mold, and discipline social relations and subjectivities. She shows how hormones have become central to contemporary understandings of the body, class, gender, sex, personhood, modernity, and Brazilian national identity. Through interviews with women and doctors; observations in clinics, research centers and pharmacies; and analyses of contraceptive marketing, Sanabria traces the genealogy of menstrual suppression, from its use in population control strategies in the global South to its remarketing as a practice of pharmaceutical self-enhancement couched in neoliberal notions of choice. She links the widespread practice of menstrual suppression and other related elective medical interventions to Bahian views of the body as a malleable object that requires constant work. Given this bodily plasticity, and its potentially limitless character, the book considers ways to assess the values attributed to bodily interventions. Plastic Bodies will be of interest to all those working in medical anthropology, gender studies, and sexual and reproductive health.

Modelling and Analysis of Hybrid Supervisory Systems
This book introduces a formalism for modeling complex and large-scale systems that merges Petri nets, differential equation systems, and object-oriented methods. It describes a method that starts from the requirements of a supervisory system and results in a proposal for such a system. The book also presents a validation procedure that allows verification of the formal properties of the hybrid model.

Protein-Microarrays für die Wirkstoffentwicklung
Emilia Schax beschreibt die Herstellung von Hitzeschockproteinen und die Entwicklung eines direkt-kompetitiven Inhibitor-Screenings für Hitzeschockproteine im Microarray-Format. Dieser Assay liefert in kürzester Zeit mit geringem Materialverbrauch Informationen zu den Bindeeigenschaften potenzieller Inhibitoren, die dann als mögliche Therapeutika dienen könnten. Der Assay basiert auf der Kompetition von fluoreszenzmarkierten ATP mit den potentiellen Inhibitoren um die ATP-Bindetasche der Proteine. Während der Masterarbeit wurden zehn potentielle Inhibitoren, die Geldanamycin- oder Reblastatin-Derivate sind, getestet. Ihre IC50-Werte lagen im Bereich zwischen 0,5 nM und 4 µM.

Territorial Listening
Territorial Listening is an event. Its authors start from the premise that cities and streets, much like dreams, present us with manifest and latent contents that are expressed in unconscious ways. The psychoanalyst does not listen only to an individual utterance but to the territorial relations in which it is embedded and where its meaning lies. Starting from Brazilian scenes of listening, Emília Estivalet Broide and Jorge Broide–together with their many collaborators, the ‘Rede SUR’ or ‘South Network’–construct an entire vocabulary around territorial listening. They ‘listen everywhere’ in the territory, in an embodied manner: in places where people queue for food, in places where police violence takes place, in playgrounds. By adding the concept dispositif to our everyday psychoanalytic vocabularies, this volume points to the possibility of renovation of the psychoanalytic frame, of play and invention.This volume is presented with a preface by Susana Caló, Ana Minozzo and Raluca Soreanu and a foreword by Elizabeth Danto.

Frit Flies (Chloropidae, Diptera) of Fennoscandia and Denmark
The Frit Flies (Chloropidae, Diptera) of Fennoscandia and Denmark is written by two leading experts on this large and difficult group of small to minute flies, Dr Emilia P. Nartshuk, Zoological Institute Academy of Sciences, St Petersburg, Russia, & Dr Hugo Andersson (deceased in 2008), Zoological Institute, Lund University, Sweden. The book covers the North European fauna of frit flies that totals 209 species in 48 genera including 11 species and 1 genus described as new to science. Several species are economically important as notorial pests of cereals and fodder grasses. This is the first comprehensive treatment ever of the entire North European fauna of frit flies. It primarily facilitates species identification, but further summarizes existing knowledge about nomenclature, biology, faunistics and literature. Keys are given to subfamilies, genera and species for the adults and for the known larvae to genus or even species level. The text is supplemented with numerous illustrations of characters of diagnostic importance. Species distributions in the Nordic countries are detailed in a catalogue.

Think Like a Vegan
According to the latest figures, the number of vegans in the UK has more than quadrupled since 2014, now representing over 1 per cent of the total population. With the rise in plant-based foods and cruelty-free products showing no sign of stopping, Think Like a Vegan explores how vegan ethics can be applied to every area of our daily lives.We all want to live more healthily and ethically, and this book is certainly not just for vegans. It’s for anyone interested in veganism, its ideals and what even non-vegans can learn from its practice. Through a personal and often irreverent lens, the authors explore a variety of contemporary topics related to animal use: from the basics of vegan logic to politics, economics, love and other aspects of being human, each chapter draws you into a thought-provoking conversation about your daily ethical decisions.Why should we adopt animals?What’s the problem with organic meat?What are the economics of plant-based foods?What about honey?What is the relationship between veganism and feminism?What is vegansexualism?
