ISBN: 9798185464205 - advanced saola biology handbook: understanding the biology, environmental adaptations, reproductive ecology, population genetics, habitat ... scientific importance of the endangered saola (6 resultados)

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Deep within the mist-covered evergreen forests of the Annamite Mountains lives one of the world's most mysterious and critically endangered mammals-the saola, often called the "Asian Unicorn." Rarely seen in the wild and only discovered by science in 1992, this remarkable species has captivated wildlife biologists, conservationists, and nature enthusiasts across the globe. Saola Biology Handbook presents a comprehensive, scientifically grounded exploration of the biology, evolution, ecology, physiology, and conservation of this extraordinary forest bovid.Designed for students, researchers, wildlife professionals, educators, and anyone passionate about biodiversity, this book combines current scientific knowledge with accessible explanations to provide an in-depth understanding of one of Earth's most elusive large mammals. From its evolutionary origins and anatomical adaptations to its feeding ecology, reproductive biology, genetics, disease ecology, and conservation challenges, every chapter offers carefully organized, educational content supported by modern biological principles.Inside this handbook, readers will discover: The discovery of the saola and its scientific significance in modern zoology.Evolutionary history, taxonomy, and phylogenetic relationships within the family Bovidae.Detailed external and internal anatomy, physiology, and functional morphology.Nutrition, digestive biology, browsing ecology, and rumen microbiology.Habitat ecology, environmental adaptations, and climate resilience.Sensory biology, cognition, behavior, communication, and social organization.Reproductive biology, life cycle, growth, and developmental processes.Population biology, conservation genetics, and molecular biology.Disease ecology, parasite biology, immune function, and wildlife health.Human impacts, habitat loss, illegal hunting, and conservation challenges.Protected area management, anti-poaching strategies, and international conservation programs.Modern wildlife research techniques, including camera trapping, environmental DNA (eDNA), GPS telemetry, genomics, and remote sensing.Comparative biology with other Asian bovids, evolutionary adaptations, and ecological specialization.Emerging advances in biotechnology, artificial intelligence, precision conservation, and future wildlife science.Beyond describing the biology of a single species, this handbook highlights the broader importance of tropical forest ecosystems and demonstrates how protecting the saola contributes to the conservation of one of the world's richest biodiversity hotspots. It emphasizes the vital roles of scientific research, habitat protection, international collaboration, community-based conservation, and technological innovation in preventing extinction.Whether you are studying wildlife biology, conservation science, zoology, ecology, environmental management, or simply fascinated by one of the rarest mammals on Earth, Saola Biology Handbook serves as an authoritative and engaging reference. Combining rigorous scientific knowledge with practical conservation insights, this book celebrates the remarkable evolutionary story of the saola while inspiring greater appreciation for the urgent global effort to preserve Earth's irreplaceable natural heritage.
