Animal Behavior, An Evolutionary Approach

By Victor S. Lamoureux

Animal Behavior: An Evolutionary Approach PDF looks at a range of topics covering the habits of a variety of animals, including how macaques teach their offspring, how rats transmit avoidance behavior, how supplementary feeding of tree frogs affects their breeding behavior, and more. Studies in animal behavior can have far-reaching implications for animals and humans alike—suggesting how humans can improve conservation efforts, how we can better protect animals both in the wild and in captivity, and what can be learned about humans from animals.

Professor Victor S. Lamoureux received his master’s degree in teaching biology and his PhD in biology from Binghamton University, the State University of New York, Binghamton, New York, USA. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Biology at Broome Community College in Binghamton, New York, USA. His research studies involve the ecology and overwintering behavior of the green frog, Rana clamitans.

Clinical Anatomy of the Horse

Clinical Anatomy of the Horse

By Hillary M. Clayton, Peter F. Flood and Diana S. Rosenstein

Clinical Anatomy of the Horse PDF is the first photographic atlas of equine anatomy to integrate illustrations of prepared specimens with correlative images of the same structures as visualised by each of the commonly used imaging modalities; radiography, ultrasound and endoscopy. Additional images illustrate the position and orientation of these structures in the living animal, as they would most commonly be encountered, either in the course of a physical examination (for example the viscera or reproductive organs in a rectal or vaginal examination), or as they present in the prone animal, during a surgical procedure. Thus the atlas has a true utility for the practitioner as well as the student.

Mamluks and Animals, Veterinary Medicine in Medieval Islam

By Housni Alkhateeb Shehada

Mamluks and Animals, Veterinary Medicine in Medieval Islam PDF is the first comprehensive study of veterinary medicine, its practitioners and its patients in the medieval Islamic world, with special emphasis on the Mamluk period (1250-1517). Based on a large variety of sources, it is a history of a scientific field that is also examined from social and cultural perspectives. Horses, as well as birds of prey used for hawking and falconry, were at the centre of the veterinary literature of that period, but the treatment and cure of other animals was not totally neglected. The Mamluk period is presented here as the time when veterinary medicine reached its pinnacle in medieval Islam and often even surpassed human medicine.
