Erik Zimen, "Der Hund. Abstammung - Verhalten - Mensch und Hund"
Goldmann | 1992-10-01 | ISBN: 3442123976 | 470 pages | PDF | 10 MB

Autorenporträt
Dr. Erik Zimen war Mitarbeiter des Verhaltensforschers Prof. Konrad Lorenz, bevor er im Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald und in den Abruzzen Forschungsprojekte über Wölfe betreute. Zusammen mit seiner Frau Mona Zimen, die als Lehrerin für Künstlerisches Gestalten und Tanz tätig ist, lebt er auf einem Einödbauernhof in Niederbayern, umgeben von Tieren.
Rezension
Das Buch ist wirklich absolut empfehlenswert. Der Autor schafft es das eventuell teilweise trockne Wissen in verständlicher und einfacher Sprache zu vermitteln. So muss man als Laie nicht nach den ersten 20 Seiten entnervt aufgeben, sondern kann gespannt bis zum Ende folgen! Die regelmäßigen Abstecher in sein Leben und zu seinen Erfahrungen lockern das Ganze zusätzlich auf.

Wild Mammals of Wisconsin

Charles A. Long, “Wild Mammals of Wisconsin”
Pensoft Pub | 2008-03-31 | ISBN: 9546423033 | 552 pages | PDF | 16,2 MB

The last book by Professor Charles A. Long "The Wild Mammals of Wisconsin" is a comprehensive treatise on mammals found in Wisconsin, updating information on classification, identification, geography and other concepts of their biology. These include ecology (and status), habitats (including dens and nests), reproduction (both development and aging), and estimates of home range, movements, and density (with seasonality whenever possible).

Geographic and micro-geographic variation of races and species are described, based on thousands of preserved specimens, many listed as essential specimens examined. The analysis also includes Upper Michigan, northern Illinois, and occasionally even eastern Minnesota. The problem of appropriate names is discussed, with fair attention to diverse opinions. Taxonomic synonymies include original names, invalid homonyms and synonyms that have been used, and the names deemed acceptable.

The phylogeny of higher taxonomic groups, such as families and orders, provide curious histories and adaptations. Pre-historic and exterminated mammals are described, including the discovery of an elk-moose. Modern concepts, such as evolution and speciation and the biome concept are introduced. Genetics, physiology, animal diseases, relation of hosts to humanity, ecological succession, and zoogeography are discussed.

An especially appealing section on former naturalists who studied Wisconsin mammals includes some surprises: John Muir, Henry David Thoreau, Aldo Leopold, Hartley H. T. Jackson, and the first woman mammalogist - Martha Maxwell of Portage. Detailed accounts are given for 69 species (not counting the few now exterminated), in 17 families and seven orders. A glossary, four appendices, and a magnificent bibliography are at the end. Countless illustrations include grand wildlife artists of past and present. To quote Long: "All together we hope to express tribute to nature, and wildlife poetry and art."

Built by Animals: The Natural History of Animal Architecture

Mike Hansell, “Built by Animals: The Natural History of Animal Architecture”
Oxford University Press, USA | 2009-03-15 | ISBN: 0199205574, 0199205566 | 280 pages | PDF | 2,3 MB

From termite mounds and caterpillar cocoons to the elaborate nests of social birds and the deadly traps of spiders, the constructions of the animal world can amaze and at times even rival our own feats of engineering. But how do creatures with such small brains build these complex structures? What drives them to do it?
In this fascinating volume, Mike Hansell looks at the extraordinary structures that animals build--whether homes, traps, or courtship displays--and reveals what science can tell us about this incredible behavior. We look at wasp's nests, leaf-cutting ants, caddis flies and amoebae, and even the extraordinary bower bird, who seduces his mate with a decorated pile of twigs, baubles, feathers, and berries. We discover how some animals produce their own building materials, such as the silk secreted by spiders to weave an array of different web and traps, or the glue some insects produce to hold their buildings together. And we learn how a vast colony of social insects can create nests which may penetrate up to twenty feet into the ground and house millions of individuals--all built by tiny-brained animals repeating many simple actions as they roam randomly around the structure. Hansell also sheds light on how animal buildings have evolved over time, how insect societies emerged, how animals can alter their wider habitat, and even whether some animals have an aesthetic sense.
Built by Animals offers a colorful account of a facet of animal behavior that will delight anyone interested in the natural world.

Feindbild Hund und Halter

Gina Barth-Muth - Feindbild Hund und Halter
Pages:93 | PDF | Müller Rüschlikon; Auflage: 1 (2001) | ISBN 3275013718 | 2 MB

Alle Wölfe sind böse und fressen mit Vorliebe kleine Mädchen und bettlägerige Großmütter. Das wissen wir schon aus Kindertagen. Dass alle Hunde über 40 cm Höhe Killer sind, versucht man uns gerade weiszumachen. Durch verantwortungslose Halter hat das bis vor kurzer Zeit so positive Image des Hundes als bester Freund des Menschen schwer gelitten. Doch statt aggressiven Hunden und gewissenlosen Besitzern gezielt zu begegnen, heizen Medien und Politik die öffentliche Stimmung an, und Ministerien erlassen in aller Eile zweifelhafte Verordnungen, Auflagen und Rasselisten, die ihren eigentlichen Zweck verfehlen, nämlich ein Mehr an Sicherheit zu schaffen. Die Leidtragen sind vor allem harmlose Hunde, denen nun das Tierheim oder gar die Todesspritze droht. Verantwortungsbewusste Halter müssen Pöbeleien, mietrechtliche Sanktionen und offene Gewalt gegen sich, ihre Familie und ihren Hund ertragen. In diesem engagierten Buch setzt sich die Autorin Gina Barth-Muth mit der neuen Hundefeindlichkeit sowie den viel kritisierten neuen Hundeverordnungen und ihren zum Teil fatalen Folgen auseinander. Sie gibt Tipps, die Hundehaltern helfen, sich sachlich und kompetent gegen die voreilig verfassten behördlichen Auflagen zu wehren und die raue Zeit öffentlicher Anfeindungen besser zu überstehen. Doch so zermürb die Situation derzeit für Hundefreude auch sein mag, sie ist längst nicht ausweglos: Weil eben nur im Märchen alle Wölfe böse sind und von aufrechten Jägern erschossen werden müssen

Monty Roberts war ihr Vorbild, seine Arbeit mit Pferden ihre Quelle der Inspiration. Jan Fennell hat die Methoden des »Pferdeflüsterers« für Hunde adaptiert. Wie Roberts geht es ihr nicht darum, gewaltsam den Willen der Tiere zu brechen, sondern mit Blick auf die Instinkte und das Rollenverhalten der Vierbeiner mit ihnen zu kommunizieren. Unterhaltsam und anrührend beschreibt Englands erfolgreichste Hundetrainerin, wie sie arbeitet, »Problemhunde« therapiert und was die besondere Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Hund ausmacht.

Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training, Vol. 2: Etiology and Assessment of Behavior Problems

Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training, Vol. 2: Etiology and Assessment of Behavior Problems
Wiley-Blackwell | 2001 | ISBN: 0813828686 | PDF | 328 pages | 1.63 MB


Handbook complete in three volumes. Volume two covers history of applied dog behavior and training; behavioral assessment; fears and phobias; attachment, separation, and related disorders; excessive behavior; aggressive behavior; intraspecific and territorial aggression; social competition; appetite and elimination problems, and cynopraxis.

From the Back Cover
andbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training, Volume Two: Etiology and Assessment of Behavior Problems is a definitive handbook for dog trainers, behaviorists, breeders, veterinarians, and others who have a serious interest in dog behavior and training. Readers will benefit from the author's twenty-five years of study and experience with dogs as a behavioral consultant and trainer.
The vast majority of dogs exhibit at least one undesirable habit. Most of these problems are responsive to remedial training and brief counseling. However, some behavior problems are the result of a more complex etiology involving adverse emotional influences, cognitive disturbances, or pervasive behavioral disorganization. If not properly identified and treated, such problems may lead to the dog being removed from the home or euthanized.

Volume 2 of Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training explores the collective causes underlying the development of serous adjustment problems in dogs. Coupled with Volume 1: Adaptation and Learning, Volume 2 provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical framework for understanding the development and treatment of behavior problems.
The focus of Volume 2 is to present and evaluate the relevant applied and scientific literature, with the goals of clarifying what is known about the etiology of dog behavior problems and highlighting what yet remains to be learned. In addition, the author introduces several alternative ways for analyzing and understanding the etiology of behavior problems. Topics covered in depth include:


* History of applied dog behavior

* Behavioral etiology and assessment

* Fear, anxiety, and phobias

* Separation-related problems

* Compulsive behavior problems

* Hyperactivity

* Dominance, territorial and fear-related aggression

Beautiful Jim Key -- the one-time ugly duckling of a scrub colt who became one of the most beloved heroes of the turn of the century -- was adored not for his beauty and speed but rather for his remarkable abilities to read, write, spell, do mathematics, even debate politics. Trained with patience and kindness by one of the most renowned horse whisperers of his day -- former slave, Civil War veteran, and self-taught veterinarian Dr. William Key -- Jim performed in expositions across the country to wildly receptive crowds for nine glorious years, smashing box office records, clearing towering hurdles of skepticism and prejudice, and earning the respect and admiration of some of the most influential figures of the era, from Booker T. Washington to President William McKinley.

This is the remarkable true saga of a truly exceptional animal -- and the no less exceptional man who led him to greatness.

Lesley J. Rogers, Gisela Kaplan, "Birds: Their Habits and Skills"
Allen & Unwin Pty. | 2002-04 | ISBN: 1865083763 | 252 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB

An unusual collection of curious facts about our feathered friends, this book describes the fascinating behaviors and physiology of birds of all shapes and sizes-from the birds in cities to the wild birds in rainforests, deserts, plains, and coastal regions. Topics discussed include bird evolution and why some came to be flightless, why some birds have well-developed senses and memory, the wide diversity of courtship rituals and territorial displays, and the art of nest building. In short, Birds explains why these creatures do the things that they do, so that people can more fully enjoy and understand the birds they see every day. Supplemented with arresting photography, this is a marvelous companion for the curious birdwatcher, the serious student of biology, and for any nature or bird lover.

En los Altimos aos las zoonosis y las enfermedades transmisibles comunes al hombre y a los animales han venido siendo objeto de una creciente atencin en todo el mundo. Las enfermedades humanas que tienen sus orgenes en animales infectados, como el SIDA o la enfermedad de Creutzfeldt-Jakob, han puesto de relieve la necesidad de lograr una mejor comprensin acerca de las enfermedades de los animales. La facilidad y la velocidad de los viajes modernos contribuyen a la propagacin de enfermedades antes limitadas a zonas geogr¡ficas especficas, como ocurri recientemente con la muy publicitada epidemia de s­ndrome respiratorio agudo grave (SARS, por su sigla en ing©s). Las migraciones y el comercio de animales plantean una amenaza similar, segn qued demostrado en los Estados Unidos con los brotes de la fiebre del Nilo occidental y, ltimamente, de la viruela de los monos, dos enfermedades anteriormente desconocidas en el continente americano. Cada uno de esos ejemplos pone de relieve la necesidad de contar con informacin exacta y actualizada, como la presentada en la ltima edicin de Zoonosis y enfermedades transmisibles comunes al hombre y a los animales.

The Vicuña: The Theory and Practice of Community Based Wildlife Management

Iain J. Gordon, "The Vicuña: The Theory and Practice of Community Based Wildlife Management"
Springer | ISBN: 038709475X | October 23, 2008 | 256 pages | PDF | 2.5MB

The vicuña is one of the few success stories of wildlife conservation. The focus is now shifting from protection to sustainable use. Internationally, policy development has followed the community-based conservation paradigm, which holds that economic benefits from wildlife management practices bring greater commitment on the part of local communities to protect both the species and its habitat. This book takes the position that sustainability is not guaranteed by sustainable use, and that both education and regulation are required to prevent the proliferation of unsustainable practices.

The research from the countries presented in this book demonstrate the animal welfare, ecological, economic, social, and conservation trade-offs, which exist between different management systems. This links economics, social and conservation research to provide a unique insight into the viability of community-based wildlife management of a species which until recently was viewed simply as a conservation priority.

The Welfare of Laboratory Animals

Eila Kaliste "The Welfare of Laboratory Animals"
Springer | 2004-08-10 | ISBN: 1402022700 | 345 pages | PDF | 4,6 MB


Where there are no alternatives to the use of experimental animals in biomedical research, their welfare has to be ensured as far as possible. The aim of this book is to describe the current knowledge about the welfare of laboratory animals. There is previous literature dealing with the welfare of animals in general, as well as literature dealing with the maintenance and use of laboratory animals. This book brings together these two topics, focusing to the general and species-specific needs of laboratory animals in the light of their welfare. The book will provide material for researchers, lecturers, students and technical staff working with laboratory animals. The authors of this book are leading European scientists in laboratory animal science.

The book has two main parts: part one focuses on the general principles of laboratory animal maintenance and experimental use, as well as factors which have to be taken into account when good research is done with animals. The second part is species specific, concentrating on the species most used as laboratory animals. This part gives a comprehensive description of the welfare questions considered to be important for each species under laboratory conditions.

Before You Get Your Puppy

Ian Dunbar, “Before You Get Your Puppy”
James&Kenneth Publishers | 2001-08-20 | ISBN: 1888047003 | 104 pages | PDF | 2,55 MB

When you choose a new puppy, you need to meet six developmental deadlines before your puppy is just five months old. "BEFORE You Get Your Puppy" covers the first three developmental deadlines covering the period of puppy selection until your puppy's first week at home.

1st Developmental Deadline: Your Education About Puppy Education - Before you search for a puppy you need to complete your education about puppy education. You need to know how to select a good puppy and how puppies work. Selecting a puppy is similar to selecting a car: Do lots of research beforehand and "test drive" a wide variety. But first, you need to learn how to drive.

2nd Developmental Deadline: Evaluating Your Prospective Puppy's Progress - Before you choose your puppy, you need to know how to assess your prospective puppy's current socialization and educational status. Regardless of breed or breeding, if socialization, housetraining, and basic manners are not well underway by eight weeks of age, the puppy is already developmentally retarded.

3rd Developmental Deadline: Errorless Housetraining & Chewtoy-Training Make certain that an errorless housetraining and chewtoy-training program is instituted from the very first day your puppy comes home.

The Prehistoric Earth - March onto Land: The Silurian Period to the Middle Triassic Epoch

Thom Holmes "The Prehistoric Earth - March onto Land: The Silurian Period to the Middle Triassic Epoch"
Published by Chelsea House Publications | May 2008 | ISBN: 0816059594 | PDF | 193 pages | 7 MB

"March Onto Land" depicts life's migration from the sea to the land and the rise of the first terrestrial organisms. Following the appearance of the first land plants and terrestrial invertebrates, some animals with backbones ventured out of the water. After gaining a toehold on dry land, terrestrial vertebrates grew in number and diversity to become the most important large-bodied organisms on the planet.
The evolution of the amniotic egg gave vertebrates an adaptive advantage, allowing them to explore habitats beyond those of their water-bound amphibian ancestors. As a result, reptiles arose and rapidly diversified into a variety of distinct families, each with its own peculiarities.
Vertebrate groups explored in this full-color volume include early tetrapods, amphibians, and reptiles. By the Middle Triassic period, the evolutionary stage was set for the rise of many new and distinct species, including mammals and dinosaurs.

The Prehistoric Earth - Time of the Giants: The Middle & Late Jurassic Epochs

Thom Holmes "The Prehistoric Earth - Time of the Giants: The Middle & Late Jurassic Epochs"
Published by Chelsea House Publications | July 2008 | ISBN : 0816059616 | PDF Format, pages | English | 5.04 MB

This fully illustrated book examines the scientific view of dinosaurs as living creatures. Once considered docile and inactive - like their distant cold-blooded reptiles relatives - dinosaurs are now thought to have been active, energetic creatures that used a variety of methods to maintain a constant body temperature.
The story of best-known dinosaurs is told in "Time of the Giants". The Middle and Late Jurassic Periods saw the largest land animals ever to walk the Earth - the sauropods. But the giants were not alone; other kinds of dinosaurs were diversifying rapidly as well. Most notably, predatory dinosaurs began their own trend towards gigantism, and the prolific development of plated and armored herbivores filled ecological spaces not tread upon by the long-necked behemoths. By the end of the Jurassic Period, dinosaurs represented extremism in the size of land animals with equally elegant metabolic and thermoregulatory mechanisms to maintain an active lifestyle. At the other end of the size scale, some small meat-eating dinosaurs, such as Archaeopteryx, developed powered flight and gave rise to birds.

M.J.B. Vreysen: Area-Wide Control of Insect Pests: From Research to Field Implementation

M.J.B. Vreysen: Area-Wide Control of Insect Pests: From Research to Field Implementation
Pages:792 | PDF | Springer; 1 edition (December 4, 2007) | ISBN 1402060580 | 15.27 MB

Insect pests are becoming a problem of ever-more biblical proportions. This new textbook collates a series of selected papers that attempt to address various fundamental components of area-wide insect pest control. Of special interest are the numerous papers on pilot and operational programs that pay special attention to practical problems encountered during program implementation. It s a compilation of more than 60 papers authored by experts from more than 30 countries.


From the reviews:

"Area-wide management of crop pests gained credence in the recent past to the extent it gradually migrated from headline news to established practice. … With over 30 color illustrations and material never previously presented in a single source, the volume stands as a highly useful reference for the global IPM/crop protection community." (IPMnet News, Issue 160, 2008)

"Area-wide pest management is not a new or unfamiliar concept. Mosquito control, as practiced in many areas of the world, is probably the best-known example of area-wide control … . area-wide management has several advantages, most notably effectiveness and economy. … With over 60 separate articles, this volume has something of interest for everyone. … the editors did a wonderful job in editing, and each article reads crisply and concisely. This volume is highly recommended as a valuable reference for anyone interested in pest management." (John L. Capinera, Florida Entomologist, Vol. 91 (2), 2008)

"This volume brings together 66 papers by specialist authors, mostly those presented at the second FAO/IAEA International Conference on area-wide control of insect pests. The papers are arranged in 8 sections. … The book provides an excellent record of the need for very careful planning and research that is needed before attempting an AW-IPM programme and rightly points out that success cannot be taken for granted. … this book provides a useful compendium of current information." (G. A. Matthews, Crop Protection, Vol. 27 (7), 2008)

"Successful area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programmes require basic research, leading to technology/strategy development, feasibility studies and pilot trials before operationalization at full scale. ... The eight sections of the book discuss the above issues in detail ... . this is an invaluable book for proponents and practitioners of AWIPM programmes and graduate students venturing into this field." (Rajinder Kumar Saini, International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, Vol. 28 (2), 2008)

"This book portrays area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) as a sustainable form of insect pest management and highlights its potential in current and future systems across the world. ... is a quality product, well-produced, with numerous figures and colour images well-used throughout. ... I was impressed with the book. It is a wellintegrated compilation of international contributions that will serve as a useful compendium to scientists, students, and ... to policy makers also." (Olivia Kvedaras, Australian Journal of Entomology, Vol. 47, 2008)


If major advances are to be made in coping with most of the major arthropod pest problems, then the tactics and strategies for managing such insects, ticks and mites must change. They must change from the current, limited scale, reactive, broad-spectrum measures to preventive measures that are target-pest specific and rigidly applied on an area-wide basis.
