Ecology and Conservation of North American Sea Ducks


Book Description

The past decade has seen a huge increase in the interest and attention directed toward sea ducks, the Mergini tribe. This has been inspired, in large part, by the conservation concerns associated with numerical declines in several sea duck species and populations, as well as a growing appreciation for their interesting ecological attributes.

Discrete Mathematics with Ducks


Book Description

Containing exercises and materials that engage students at all levels, Discrete Mathematics with Ducks presents a gentle introduction for students who find the proofs and abstractions of mathematics challenging. This classroom-tested text uses discrete mathematics as the context for introducing proofwriting. Facilitating effective and active learning, each chapter contains a mixture of discovery activities, expository text, in-class exercises, and homework problems. Elementary exercises at the end of each expository section prompt students to review the material Try This! sections encourage students to construct fundamental components of the concepts, theorems, and proofs discussed. Sets of discovery problems and illustrative examples reinforce learning. Bonus sections can be used for take-home exams, projects, or further study Instructor Notes sections offer suggestions on how to use the material in each chapter Discrete Mathematics with Ducks offers students a diverse introduction to the field and a solid foundation for further study in discrete mathematics and complies with SIGCSE guidelines. The book shows how combinatorics and graph theory are used in both computer science and mathematics.

Omics Applied to Livestock Genetics,volume II


Book Description

Since the first draft of a mammalian genome, we have seen large numbers of high throughput studies including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, and metabolomics with the aim of better understanding the various biological molecules; DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites. These studies, collectively called “omics”, revolutionized genetic research in the last two decades, with a huge potential in livestock. There are several opportunities for livestock omics to amplify our knowledge of genetic variation in the main economical traits of the main production species. The big data produced by livestock “omics” projects has been made publicly available to researchers trying to implement and improve animal production through means besides environmental sustainability. Additionally, the “omics” approach can be holistically applied to improve animal breeding approaches and provide a better understanding of the genetic architecture of the species.
