The science underpinning avian immunology is crucial to understanding basic immunological principles. The exceptional features of the avian immune system and different strategies birds have adopted can provide important evolutionary insights. This book provides the most complete picture of the avian immune system so far. The world-wide importance of poultry protein for the human diet, the threat of an avian influenza pandemic and heavy reliance on vaccination to protect commercial flocks world-wide demonstrates the need to review the important practical lessons in disease control presented her

The Nature of Grief is a provocative new study on the evolution of grief. Most literature on the topic regards grief either as a psychiatric disorder or illness to be cured. In contrast to this, John Archer shows that grief is a natural reaction to losses of many sorts, even to the death of a pet, and he proves this by bringing together material from evolutionary psychology, ethology and experimental psychology. This innovative new work will be required reading for developmental and clinical psychologists and all those in the caring professions.

Founded in 1932, Journal of Animal Ecology publishes original research papers on all aspects of animal ecology; specifically those that make substantial contributions to our understanding of animal ecology as well as offering insights into issues of general interest to ecologists. This includes reviews that shed light on subjects central to animal ecology, including theoretical analyses of specific topics. The Journal publishes standard papers, essay reviews, forum pieces and In Focus articles (by invitation). The journal is published six times a year. Further details are available at www.journalofanimalecology.org. JSTOR provides a digital archive of the print version of The Journal of Animal Ecology. The electronic version of The Journal of Animal Ecology is available at http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117960113/home. Authorised users may be able to access the full text articles at this site.

This book is the first complete biography of one of the founders of fishery science, William Edwin (Bill) Ricker (1908 - 2001). Bill is immortalized in the Ricker Curve. He developed the Curve in his studies of stock and recruitment in fisheries, but it has been widely applied in many areas of science. Bill is best known for his contributions to fishery science, but he was also internationally recognized as an entomologist and a scientific editor. This book combines Bill’s own recollections with contributions from those who knew him and worked with him as a colleague during his multifaceted career. In an article written shortly before his death, Bill gives his own account of his career and intellectual development. A complete bibliography of Bill’s scientific publications, translations and manuscripts has been compiled by his son Karl, and accompanies this article. Karl has also written a detailed account of Bill’s early education and his accomplishments in botany and ornithology. Geoff Scudder summarizes Bill’s contributions to entomology, Jon Schnute provides both personal and professional insights into Bill’s mathematical accomplishments, and Dick Beamish and Don Noakes present personal recollections of Bill as a scientist and colleague.

Mark Nelissen is professor biologie aan de Antwerpse Universiteit. Tijdens examens ontgaat het hem niet hoe vaak een studente haar lippen beroert en op recepties ziet hij hoe scheef je hoofd staat, of je het woord kan houden en naar welke aanwezige partij je blik afdwaalt. Het zijn allemaal erfenissen uit ons Moederland die het beest in ons bloot geven, zaken die de professor nauw aan het hart liggen. Ons Moederland is de omgeving waaraan we ons in de loop van onze evolutionaire geschiedenis aanpasten. We hebben nog steeds de hersenen van holbewoners, we delen onze seksuele neigingen met andere primaten, en zijn nog steeds even belust op status als miljoenen jaren geleden. Veel van onze bizarre neigingen, gaande van overspel tot oorlog en kindermoord, zijn evolutionair succesvolle strategieën geweest waardoor de daders zich beter konden voortplanten dan anderen. De neiging om te vluchten bij onraad, de aantrekkelijkheid van een slanke taille, de onkuisheid van presidenten, zijn in het licht van de evolutie mooi te verklaren. Zoals het hoort, kadert Nelissen eerst zorgvuldig de principes van natuurlijke selectie. Vervolgens neemt hij diverse aspecten van seksualiteit onder de loep, de voortplantingsstrategieën van mannen en vrouwen, de agressie en dominantiestrijd, onze communicatie en taalgebruik en bewustzijn. Hij traint onze reflex om ons bij elk gedrag de vraag te stellen naar de oorspronkelijke waarde ervan in termen van overleving en reproductie. Een mooie vrouw krijgt door de primitieve kracht van aantrekkelijkheid, lichaamsgrootte en feromonen alles van de mannen gedaan. Andere vrouwen wapenen zich in de subtiele oerstrijd van vrouwelijke seksuele competitie: de tegenstandster wordt afgezwakt door te roddelen. Een jongeman traint zich te pletter om uit te blinken in zijn sport. Als elke andere jonge primaat aast hij op de hoogste sport op de hiërarchische ladder.
