کتاب:
- Biology of Sharks and Their Relatives
is an award-winning and groundbreaking
exploration of the fundamental elements
of the taxonomy, systematics,
physiology, and ecology of sharks,
skates, rays, and chimera. This edition
presents current research as well as
traditional models, to provide future
researchers with solid historical
foundations in shark research as well as
presenting current trends from which to
develop new frontiers in their own work.
- Traditional areas of study such as age
and growth, reproduction, taxonomy and
systematics, sensory biology, and
ecology are updated with contemporary
research that incorporates emerging
techniques including molecular genetics,
exploratory techniques in artificial
insemination, and the rapidly expanding
fields of satellite tracking, remote
sensing, accelerometry, and imaging.
- With two new editors and 90
contributors from the US, UK, South
Africa, Portugal, France, Canada, New
Zealand, Australia, India, Palau, United
Arab Emirates, Micronesia, Sweden,
Argentina, Indonesia, Cameroon, and the
Netherlands, this third edition is the
most global and comprehensive yet. It
adds six new chapters representing
extensive studies of health, stress,
disease and pathology, and social
structure, and continues to explore
elasmobranch ecological roles and
interactions with their habitats. The
book concludes with a comprehensive
review of conservation policies,
management, and strategies, as well as
consideration of the potential effects
of impending climate change.
- Presenting cohesive and integrated
coverage of key topics and discussing
technological advances used in modern
shark research, this revised edition
offers a well-rounded picture for
students and researchers.
