Urban Entomology Across Varied Environments

Savarimuthu

The surge of urbanization in contemporary society has set in motion a variety of challenges, particularly in the relationship between insects and urban environments. As concrete landscapes expand and human influence reshapes natural habitats, the consequences on insect populations and their ecological roles become increasingly apparent. The bustling urban sprawl disrupts traditional insect habitats and behaviors, presenting a serious issue that requires comprehensive exploration and understanding. In Urban Entomology Across Varied Environments , this multifaceted challenge takes center stage as leading experts and researchers unite to unravel the dynamics between insects and the evolving urban landscape. The book navigates through a diverse range of urban environments, from city centers to suburban expanses and rural-urban interfaces. It goes beyond the conventional focus on pests, delving into the broader ecological roles of insects, including pollination, decomposition, and biocontrol. The aim is to shed light on the indispensable services provided by insects and their contributions to urban biodiversity.

Physiology and Function of Glial Cells in Health and Disease

Bilal El-Mansoury

Glial cells, including microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and their progenitors NG2-glia, serve as key players in maintaining structural integrity and complex brain homeostasis. They actively participate in neurotransmission, energy metabolism, synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis, ion balance, immune defense, and the clearance of neuronal debris. However, the physiological functions of glial cells are often compromised in aging, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, and multiple sclerosis, as well as in gliomas, brain tumors demanding specialized understanding for effective therapeutic interventions. Physiology and Function of Glial Cells in Health and Disease provides a comprehensive exploration of the vital role played by glial cells in maintaining neural homeostasis within the central nervous system (CNS). This book delves into the intricate interaction between glial cells and neurons, shedding light on their essential contributions to neural function and overall brain health. The book also highlights emerging research on astrocyte reprogramming for the management of neurodegenerative diseases, offering a glimpse into potential future therapies. This book is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, and students in the field of neuroscience. Its academic tone, coupled with in-depth discussions and cutting-edge insights, makes it a valuable reference for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the role of glial cells in both health and disease.

Texas Natural History in the 21st Century

David J. Schmidly

One hundred fifty years ago, Texas was very different. A rural population was spread thinly across the eastern and central parts of the state, and vast lands in the western regions were still undisturbed.Texas's habitats and biota changed dramatically as its population increased and people spread across the landscape. In Texas Natural History: A Century of Change (2002), David Schmidly chronicled the changes that occurred during the twentieth century. In this second edition, Schmidly is joined by colleagues Robert and Lisa Bradley of Texas Tech University to extend that story over the first two decades of the twenty-first century.The focus of Texas Natural History in the 21st Century continues to be on the mammalian fauna of the state, and it includes a reprinting of Vernon Bailey's 1905 "The Biological Survey of Texas" with new annotations and updates. In the rest of the book, the authors discuss changes in landscapes, land use, and the status of Texas mammals in the last hundred years. The authors present current challenges to conserving the natural history of Texas and suggest long-term solutions to those challenges, including actions focused on both private and public lands.As Texas approaches the daunting challenge of conserving its wildlife, Texas Natural History in the 21st Century serves as a rallying cry for addressing the scenarios imperiling Texas's natural history in our present day and in the future.
