Free Download Butterfly and Moth Wings: Functional Morphology of the Wings with Scales by Akihiro Yoshida
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 202 ‘Pages | ISBN : 9819797101 | 52.4 MB
This book explores the various functions of butterfly and moth wings. Lepidoptera wings are covered with variously colored scales and exhibit a wide variety of color patterns, with some functioning as significant signals in behavior. They are also the flight organs, as the wings of the other insects are. Although research on Lepidopteran wings has predominantly focused on the color patterns and flight performance, they have many other functions that contribute to their lives.

This text offers an alternative way to understand the future of morphology, especially in the dialectic context of typologies and rules – while learning from different approaches in the literature but without favouring any one of them. More specifically, this book offers a new theory to go beyond the existing approaches in a novel way.

Free Download Mohammad Izhar Hassan, Shouraseni Sen Roy, Uday Chatterjee, "Social Morphology, Human Welfare, and Sustainability"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 303096759X, 303096762X | PDF | pages: 745 | 37.2 mb
This volume discusses a broad range of human welfare problems associated with and stemming from social issues, natural resource deficiencies, environmental hazards, vulnerability to climate change, and sustainability challenges. The chapters form a framework centered around the concept of social morphology, i.e. the role of humans in shaping society, and associated human-nature interactions which inform the ability to achieve sustainable welfare and well-being. The book is divided in six sections. Section I contains the introductory chapters where the book explores shifting interfaces between environment, society, and sustainability outcomes. Section II discusses contemporary issues of social welfare, and covers sustainable approaches in geo-heritage and ecotourism. Section III addresses the roots of various social conflicts and inequalities in relation to overpopulation, poverty, illiteracy, employment concerns, and human migration. Section IV highlights social security andareas of social deprivation, including urban affordability, gender equality, and women’s health. Section V covers social issues resulting from natural hazards and disasters. Section VI concludes the book with a discussion of the way forward for social sustainability. The book will be of interest to students, researchers, policy makers, environmentalists, NGOs, and social scientists.

Free Download Yearbook of Morphology 2004 By Stephen R. Anderson (auth.), Geert Booij, Jaap van Marle (eds.)
2005 | 324 Pages | ISBN: 1402028997 | PDF | 4 MB
A revival of interest in morphology has occurred during recent years. The Yearbook of Morphology, published since 1988, has proven to be an eminent support for this upswing of morphological research, since it contains articles on topics which are central in the current theoretical debates which are frequently referred to.In the Yearbook of Morphology 2004 a number of papers is devoted to the topic ‘morphology and linguistic typology’. These papers were presented at the Fourth Mediterranean Morphology Meeting in Catania, in September 2003. Within the context of this denominator, a number of issues are discussed wich bear upon universals and typology. These issues include: universals and diachrony, sign language, syncretism, periphrasis, etc.

Free Download Wolfgang U. Dressler, Dieter Kastovsky, Oskar E. Pfeiffer, "Morphology and its demarcations"
English | 2005 | pages: 335 | ISBN: 9027247781 | PDF | 1,9 mb
The papers in this volume derive from the International Morphology Meeting (Vienna 2004) and were selected because they address the main topic of the conference: external and internal demarcations of morphology. The external demarcation between syntax and morphology is dealt with in the papers by Rood, Cysouw, Milićević, Blom, Enrique-Arias, and Heine & König. Demarcations of inflection and derivation are discussed in the contributions by Ricca, Lloret, Manova, Say, Žaucer, and Stump. In contrast to theoretical discussions in previous literature, which have concentrated on the internal boundary between inflection and derivation, this volume attributes equal importance to the demarcations between derivation and compounding, addressed in the contributions by Bauer, Booij, Štekauer, Fradin, Amiot, and Scalise, Bisetto & Guevara.

Free Download Feeding in Vertebrates: Evolution, Morphology, Behavior, Biomechanics by Vincent Bels
English | EPUB | 2019 | 865 Pages | ISBN : 3030137384 | 179.5 MB
This book provides advanced students and researchers with comprehensive reviews of biological questions related to feeding in vertebrates living in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Based on recent technical developments and novel conceptual approaches, the book covers functional questions on trophic behavior in nearly all vertebrate groups to provide major baselines for understanding the functioning of these organisms, with examples in a series of taxa, and ranging from structures to behavior. In turn, the book demonstrates the importance of adopting an integrative approach to the trophic system in order to understand evolutionary mechanisms under the biodiversity of vertebrates.
