Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Are dolphins self-aware Are they conscious Can they read minds or respond to subtle cues Are they able to learn or understand commands These questions and others are explored along with the popular question: do dolphins suffer from stress The reactions of various cetacean species to different stressors; net entanglement, noise & tour boats, and others, are outlined and show that not all species, or individuals of the same species react in the same way to an identical stressor. Other subjects covered include; anthropomorphism, in other words, attributing human feelings to animal behaviour, why conducting behavioural research on wild animal populations is so challenging, difficulties using common behavioural terms, bias and issues surrounding collection of standard data sets. Habituation, sensitisation, fixed action patterns and genetics are also briefly discussed. References are given throughout the book, particularly in regard to the use of proven research methodologies that allow behavioural observations of marine mammals from land-based and sea-based positions. The book ends encouraging would-be researchers to embrace the challenge of behavioural studies.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book merges the arts and sciences. It provides an overview of the history of sugar and its effect on Berber traditions & culture in Morocco. The introduction of sugar to Morocco had a major influence on society including traditional Berber communities where it is reported to have supernatural protective powers over new born babies. Sugar is also a valuable commodity in regard to marriage negotiations. The cultural importance of sugar in rural Berber communities within the Rif region of North Africa are viewed from an anthropological perspective with reference being made to the works of Sidney Mintz, Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu in relation to slavery, habitus, the normalization of mass beliefs and power structures within society. It also suggests ways in which remediation may be undertaken in regard to the pollutants and toxins left in the environment by the sugar cane industry. This book is a wonderful read for anyone interested in the history of sugar, anthropology, cultural studies, environmental science or those planning arm chair travel or actual travel to the Maghrib.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Whether dolphins behave differently between observation sites and towards specific types of watercraft are questions many researchers ask. This book (Volume III of III) outlines a study which investigated dolphin orientation, quadrant preference and swimming direction in relation to tour-boat presence at two New Zealand harbours. Individual and sequential behaviour patterns were also investigated. The results obtained were compared to dolphin behaviour in the presence of a private yacht. Behaviours were categorised as avoidance, positive or neutral behaviour. It was found that there were no significant changes over time in the proportions of behaviour exhibited within these behavioural groups. To determine any long term trends, behavioural responses to tour-boat presence at Lyttelton harbour were examined over a six year period, 1999-2005, which represents the longest conducted study in this specific area on one population of dolphin. There were no suggestions of long term trends over the six years that would indicate that the dolphin population was adapting to or being influenced by tourism (and other) boats. This book provides a new insight into dolphin behaviour in the presence of tour-boats and private watercraft.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Animal behaviour is often difficult to observe, measure and interpret. It is often even more difficult to say for certain that specific factors result in stress. To report that stress occurs a certain number of times or for a certain amount of the time are in themselves inconclusive. To determine any real cause for concern, in relation to the presence of stress and its effect on behaviour or reproduction, it is necessary to define stress and view all behaviours exhibited in context. This book (Volume II of III) outlines a study on Hectors dolphin behaviour as observed from specific tour-boats at two New Zealand locations. The study showed that it is necessary to observe a range of behaviours in order to determine meaning, particularly in regard to stress. Preference in swimming direction in the presence of tour boats was also investigated. Dolphins consistently showed a preference in swimming direction when approaching and departing from tour vessels. This volume represents the second set of results gained from a six year long study of Hectors dolphin behaviour at Lyttelton and Timaru and as such provides valuable insight into their biology at these specific sites.…
