Sobre IBD

Biogeography involves dealing with the study of varied life forms present on the face of the Earth. This book is a compilation of research works of more than 30 scientific experts on biogeography from across the globe. It intends to elaborate on spatial and temporal variation of biological assemblages in relation to landscape intricacy and environmental changes. This book adopts four major themes: bio-geographic theory and tests of ideas and concepts; the territorial biogeography of individual taxa, biogeography of complex landscapes, and the deep-time evolutionary biogeography of macro-taxa. In addition, the book also presents new information about unusual landscapes, the natural history of a wide array of lesser known plant and animal species, and global conservation issues. It is well illustrated with various maps, graphics, and photographs, and provides significant information on various topics. It will work as a useful tool for experts and general public interested in global biogeography, taxonomy, development and conservation.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...
  • Advances in Flavivirus Research
    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

  • Brain Asymmetry of Structure and/or Function
    Lesley J. Rogers / Lesley JRogers
    This edited book brings together research reports on the asymmetry of brain function in various species, including humans, dogs, birds, lizards and bees. As shown in a wide range of species, and, as we now know, not solely in humans, the left and right sides of the brain process information in different ways and control different responses or patterns of behaviour. Since this d...

  • The Epithelialto- Mesenchymal Transition ( EMT ) in Cancer
    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...

  • The Biology and Treatment of Myeloid Leukaemias
    There has been an observed decrease in the global mortality from cancer, mostly atributable to improved, particularly early, detection and prevention. For many carcinomas and leukaemias in adults, once the disease has reached a certain stage there are no therapies that are able to erradicate the cancer cells and cure patients. There has been progress in the treatment of acute m...

  • Biogeography
    Neil Griffin
    Biogeography is the study of the distribution of plant and animal species on Earth over a period of time. It has two branches, which are phytogeography and zoogeography. This field contributes essential knowledge about the composition of various ecosystems as well as the evolutionary processes and migratory patterns occurring within species over time. Habitat adaptation is an i...

  • Biodiversity, Biological Systems and Conservation
    Neil Griffin
    Biodiversity is the variety and variability of life forms present in different geographical regions. It is a result of different climatic patterns and geographic settings. Biological systems may range from micro to macro that is they can exist in a form as small as mitochondria and as big as rainforests. Conservation aims at protecting habitats, ecosystems and species to mainta...
