Sturkie's Avian Physiology (7th Ed.)

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Scanes Colin G., Dridi Sami

Couverture de l’ouvrage Sturkie's Avian Physiology

Sturkie's Avian Physiology, Seventh Edition is the classic comprehensive single volume on the physiology of domestic as well as wild birds. This latest edition is thoroughly revised and updated and features several new chapters with entirely new content on such topics as vision, sensory taste, pain reception, evolution, and domestication. Chapters throughout have been greatly expanded due to the many recent advances in the field.

This book is written by international experts in different aspects of avian physiology. For easy reading and searches, this book is structured under a series of themes, beginning with genomic studies, sensory biology and nervous systems, and major organs. The chapters then move on to investigate metabolism, endocrine physiology, reproduction, and finally cross-cutting themes such as stress and rhythms. New chapters on feathers and skin are featured as well.

Sturkie?s Avian Physiology, Seventh Edition is an important resource for ornithologists, poultry scientists, and other researchers in avian studies. It is also useful for students in avian or poultry physiology, as well as avian veterinarians.

Orinthologists, immunologists, cell biologists, pathologists, poultry scientists, vaccinologists and veterinarians Zoologists, ecologists, ornithologists and evolutionary biologists interested in using immunological parameters as selection traits for studies on survival and evolution
Colin G. Scanes was formerly editor of the journal Poultry Science and has held senior faculty and/or administrative positions at the University of Leeds, Rutgers—the State University of New Jersey, Iowa State University, Mississippi State University, and University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Dr. Scanes was also the editor for the latest (sixth) edition of Sturkie’s Avian Physiology for Elsevier/Academic Press. He has extensive experience in teaching undergraduates and research with more than 600 publications.
Sami Dridi received his Accreditation to Supervise Research (HDR) in Structural Biology, Biochemistry, and Cell Signaling from the University of Paris XI. He got his PhD and master’s degrees in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Poultry Science from the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine (INPL) and National Institute for Agronomic Researches (INRA), France. He joined several international teams such as UNC-Chapel Hill, University of Kentucky, University of Leuven (Belgium), ENITA Bordeaux (France), ENV Nantes (France), and West Virginia University as a postdoctoral fellow, contractual professor, or main investigator. He joined the University of Arkansas in 2013. He is currently a full professor in avian endocrinology and molecular genetics. He strives to consistently rise the next generation of poultry scientists and produce significant research that will bring both fundamental understanding as well as practical solutions to ongoing poultry problems.
  • Stands out as the only single volume devoted to bird physiology
  • Features updates, revisions, or additions to each chapter
