Description

|
|
|
An invaluable dictionary for students of zoology and related fields of biological and biomedical sciences, as well as amateur naturalists and anyone with an interest in animals, this reference covers all aspects of the study of animals in more than 5200 entries, Many are new to this third edition, including "alarm pheromone," "Ficks laws," "shock disease," and "synanthrope." The book defines terms from animal behavior, evolution, earth history, zoogeography, genetics, and physiology; it provides full taxonomic coverage of arthropods and other invertebrates, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals; and it introduces new material on behavioral ecology and conservation biology. In many entries, it recommends web links, which are kept up to date through the Dictionary of Zoology's companion website.
