Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. This book is a complete professional reference for anyone fascinated by centipedes-scientists, advanced hobbyists, educators, and conservationists alike. Drawing on current zoological research and practical husbandry experience, it traces the journey of these ancient terrestrial predators from their Silurian origins more than 400 million years ago to their role today in both ecosystems and biomedical research.Across sixteen in-depth chapters, the handbook explores every dimension of centipede life and stewardship: Evolutionary and Taxonomic Foundations - Discover the phylogenetic placement of the class Chilopoda within the Myriapoda, the fossil evidence of their early diversification, and the morphological traits that have allowed them to thrive for hundreds of millions of years.Anatomy, Physiology, and Ecology - Examine the segmented body plan, specialized forcipules, sensory adaptations, and the intricate interplay of centipedes with soil ecosystems where they act as crucial mesopredators and indicators of soil health.Captive Husbandry and Stewardship - Receive detailed, research-based guidance on enclosure design, microclimate control, safe handling, feeding strategies, breeding practices, and long-term care, all informed by biosecurity and welfare considerations.Ethics, Law, and Conservation - Navigate the complex landscape of international and local wildlife regulations, understand the ethical issues surrounding wild collection, and learn best practices for responsible trade and sustainable captive breeding.Scientific and Biomedical Frontiers - Explore cutting-edge research on centipede venoms-peptide toxins that modulate ion channels and inspire promising new approaches to pain management and drug discovery.The Centipedes Handbook is more than a keeper's manual. It is an integrated resource that connects the fascination of observing living centipedes with the broader goals of ecological research, citizen science, and conservation awareness. Richly informative and rigorously referenced, it equips readers not only to care for these remarkable arthropods but also to appreciate their enduring evolutionary legacy and their emerging importance in modern science and sustainable invertebrate husbandry.
