20 Fun Facts About Marine Animal Adaptations
Author: Tayler Cole
Publisher: Gareth Stevens Publishing LLLP
ISBN: 1482444135
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Marine animals have adapted to their habitat over millions of years. Huge whales and giant squids have been able to grow exceptionally large despite the absence of strong limbs due to the buoyancy of living in salt water. Blubber keeps some animals warm in the deep as other adaptations let animals live in very warm waters. Readers dive into the complex and fascinating subject of life under the sea through 20 interesting facts about how bodies, predation, camouflage, and more have evolved below the surface.

Biology of Blood-Sucking Insects
Author: Mike Lehane
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401179530
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Blood-sucking insects are the vectors of many of the most debilitating parasites of man and his domesticated animals. In addition they are of considerable direct cost to the agricultural industry through losses in milk and meat yields, and through damage to hides and wool, etc. So, not surprisingly, many books of medical and veterinary entomology have been written. Most of these texts are organized taxonomically giving the details of the life-cycles, bionomics, relationship to disease and economic importance of each of the insect groups in turn. I have taken a different approach. This book is topic led and aims to discuss the biological themes which are common in the lives of blood-sucking insects. To do this I have concentrated on those aspects of the biology of these fascinating insects which have been clearly modified in some way to suit the blood-sucking habit. For example, I have discussed feeding and digestion in some detail because feeding on blood presents insects with special problems, but I have not discussed respiration because it is not affected in any particular way by haematophagy. Naturally there is a subjective element in the choice of topics for discussion and the weight given to each. I hope that I have not let my enthusiasm for particular subjects get the better of me on too many occasions and that the subject material achieves an overall balance.
