Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Reproductive biology is more than the development of techniques for helping with too little or too much breeding. While some of the relevant techniques are useful for individual species, technical developments have to be backed up by thorough biological understanding of the background behind the problems. This book is therefore threefold; (1) it provides a snapshot of the state of the art in terms of species-specific reproductive technologies, whether for individual animals or whole taxonomic groups; (2) it sets the reproductive problems in context and emphasizes the links between animal-based problems and the wider world, e.g. reproductive fitness and (3) it looks forward and presents realistic assessments of how effective some of the more recently developed techniques in reproductive technology might be at combating extinctions. This is a wide-ranging book that will be relevant to anyone involved in reproductive biology or in species conservation and provides provide them some useful perspectives about the real utility of current and emerging technologies. It has contributions from experts in reproduction and related fields.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This third edition provides a fully updated and comprehensive examination of the critical role of reproductive biology in animal conservation. As with prior editions, this book is wide-ranging and relevant to anyone interested in species conservation, providing critical perspectives on the utility of current and emerging animal reproductive science and technology. Reproductive biology in the context of animal species conservation is much more than the development of techniques for helping with too little or too much breeding; technical developments must be preceded by an understanding of the biological basis behind breeding problems. With looming extinction concerns and unprecedented pressures on biodiversity, every effort must be made to ensure species reproduction in the wild, and to optimize breeding in populations in human care while providing the best welfare standards available.The new edition contains a selection of chapters on fast-evolving topics such as welfare, ethics, epigenetics, extra-cellular vesicles, stem cells, contraception, and threats posed by environmental changes. Other chapters include species-specific perspectives, including on bees and marine mammals.…
