Book Synopsis Radar Entomology by : V. Alistair Drake
Download or read book Radar Entomology written by V. Alistair Drake. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book (10 chapters) covers radar entomology and its application in the study and monitoring of insect flight and migration. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to both radar and the biological phenomena that entomologists have studied with radars. An outline of alternative and complementary methods for studying insect movement and a brief historical account of developments in the field are included. Chapter 2 introduces the fundamentals of remote sensing and briefly summarizes some entomological applications of it that do not involve radio technology. The technique and theory underlying radar entomology are covered in chapters 3-8, whereas the principal biological findings that have resulted from the use of radar technology are discussed in chapters 9-14. This book is intended primarily for entomologists, although this publication may also be useful to behaviourists, ecologists, biometeorologists, radar ornithologists and radar meteorologists.

Book Synopsis A Handbook on Biotelemetry and Radio Tracking by : Charles J. Amlaner
Download or read book A Handbook on Biotelemetry and Radio Tracking written by Charles J. Amlaner. This book was released on 2013-10-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Handbook on Biotelemetry and Radio Tracking presents the proceedings of an International Conference on Telemetry and Radio Tracking in Biology and Medicine, held in The University of Oxford, Oxford, U.K. on March 20–22, 1979. This book illustrates the advances connected with every aspect of biotelemetry and radio tracking. Organized into five parts encompassing 101 chapters, this compilation of papers begins with an overview of the method that allows assessment or control of biological parameters from animals, subjects, and patients with comparatively little disturbance and restraint. This text then examines radio telemetry as a system for telemetry or communications over great distances. Other chapters consider better transmitter design and construction of radio tracking. This book discusses as well telemetric measurements of hemodynamic response to driving in coronary patients. The final chapter deals with the study of the coastal movements of Atlantic salmon tagged with ultrasonic transmitters. This book is a valuable resource for biological researchers and ecologists.

Book Synopsis Aeroecology by : Phillip B. Chilson
Download or read book Aeroecology written by Phillip B. Chilson. This book was released on 2018-03-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of a diverse collection of chapters that seeks to broaden our fundamental understanding of the ecological function and biological importance of the Earth’s lower atmosphere, which provides a huge living space for billions of animals moving within and across continents. Their migration, dispersal and foraging activities connect water and land habitats within and across continents. Drawing upon the wide-ranging experience of the authors, the book takes an inherently interdisciplinary approach that serves to introduce the reader to the topic of aeroecology, frame some of the basic biological questions that can be addressed within the context of aeroecology, and highlight several existing and emerging technologies that are being used to promote aeroecological studies. The book begins with several background chapters, that provide introduction into such topics as atmospheric science, the concept of the habitat, animal physiology, and methods of navigation. It then continues with a broad discussion of observational methods available to and used by aeroecologists. Finally, several targeted examples of aeroecological studies are presented. Following the development of the chapters, the reader is provided with a unifying framework for investigating how the dynamic properties of meteorological conditions at local, regional, and global scales affect the organisms that depend on the air for foraging and movement. Material presented in the book should be of interest to anyone wishing to gain a comprehensive understanding of the aerosphere itself and the myriad airborne organisms that inhabit and depend upon this environment for their existence. The material should be accessible to a diverse set of readers at all stages of training and across a range of research expertise.
