It includes topics on a wide range of disciplines such as electrophysiology, molecular biology, reproductive physiology, foraging and feeding behavior, chemical ethology and ecology, in-situ and ex-situ conservation, circadian rhythms, climate change and several other related topics that are of high interest and utility. Tropical countries have a unique and diversified fauna across their different biogeographical habitats. This book covers numerous species of vertebrates from the tropical region and also discusses several case studies to provide detailed information about the recent trends in the animal behavior pattern. This book is useful for academicians, researchers, ethologists, wildlife specialists and practitioners. This book is also an interesting read for scholars, professors and policy makers involved in the field of zoology, naturalists and wildlife enthusiasts.PPN: PPN: 1920028137Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SXB
