Life Science Education: Biology

Instruments of mathematical intelligibility and coherence have gradually "fashioned" the view we now have of biological systems. Teaching and research, fundamental or applied, are now dependent on this new order known as Integrative Biology or Systems Biology.

A comprehensive introduction to the biology of native and non-native grasslands which now cover approximately 50% of the terrestrial environment, providing essential ecosystem services and some of the most important areas for the production of food and fibre worldwide.

A concise but comprehensive introduction to the biology of standing waters (lakes and ponds). As with other books in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in this book is on the organisms that dominate freshwater environments. Management and conservation aspects are also considered.

This book discusses central concepts and theories in cell biology from the ancient past to the 21st century, based on the premise that understanding the works of scientists like Hooke, Hofmeister, Caspary, Strasburger, Sachs, Schleiden, Schwann, Mendel, Nemec, McClintock, etc. in the context of the latest advances in plant cell biology will help provide valuable new insights.

Presents a synthetic overview of the evolutionary biology of species, incorporating their nature, origins, proliferation, and consequences.

Publishes fundamental studies in different fields of biology: cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, zoology, botany, physiology, ecology, & others.

Focuses on genetics areas, including population genetics, evolutionary and genetic demography, quantitative genetics, genetic epidemiology, behavioral genetics, molecular genetics.

Presents information on all areas of wildlife science with the primary task of creating the scientific basis for the enhancement of conservation and management practices for wildlife species and their environments.
