Scientific work examining the physiology, nervous system, sensory biology, and behaviour of octopus species as advanced marine invertebrates. Published by Chapman and Hall as a Halsted Press Book.
A reprinted scientific work on the fishes of the seas of China and Japan by John Richardson, originally published in 1846. Includes a new index prepared by P. J. Whitehead. Important reference material in ichthyology and marine zoology
A scholarly scientific volume discussing the anatomy and physiology of pulmonate mollusks. Edited by Vera Fretter and J. Peake and published by Academic Press in 1975.
A scientific reference book discussing the medical and economic importance of mollusks, including their role in parasitic diseases, shellfish culture, and public health. Published by Academic Press in 1974.
An introductory academic text about molluscs, including their structure, classification, evolution, and biology. Part of the Hutchinson University Library series.
This work presents a comprehensive introduction to zoology, focusing on the structure, function, and diversity of animal life. It integrates principles from physiology, morphology, and evolutionary biology to provide a broad understanding of how animals are adapted to their environments. Contributions from multiple experts enhance the coverage of various sub-disciplines, including ecological re…
This volume presents research findings from the Second Meadow Brook Conference on Hormones (1981), focusing on the molecular mechanisms by which steroid hormones regulate gene expression. It explores key developments such as hormone–receptor interactions, chromatin structure, transcriptional regulation, and DNA sequence organization. The book highlights how steroid hormone receptors bind dire…
This book represents an early and influential attempt to integrate molecular biology with ecological science. Florkin and Schoffeniels explore how biochemical and molecular processes influence the interactions between organisms and their environments. The text examines enzyme activity, metabolic adaptation, and cellular responses in ecological contexts, laying groundwork for what later became t…
An Atlas of Fine Structure: The Cell by Don W. Fawcett is a foundational work in cell biology that provides a detailed visual and descriptive exploration of cellular ultrastructure using electron microscopy. The book presents high-resolution micrographs of various cell components, illustrating their morphology and organization at the subcellular level. It serves as both a reference and instruct…
This work examines the various physiological, biochemical, and pharmacological factors that influence myocardial contractility, defined as the intrinsic ability of cardiac muscle fibers to contract independently of loading conditions. The authors analyze the role of ionic movements—particularly calcium—in excitation-contraction coupling, and evaluate how autonomic nervous system activity mo…
