This book presents the latest research findings on the laterality of fish and other animals. It describes all aspects of lateral asymmetry, including ecology, morphology, behaviour, dynamics of lefty and righty morphs, genetics and evolution, through field observations, experiments and modeling. Lateral asymmetry in scale-eating cichlids gives a simple and beautiful example of negative frequency-dependent selection and resulting oscillation of lefty and righty morph frequencies. Lateral dimorphism is found not only in scale-eaters but in all orders of fish, shrimps and cuttlefish. Lateral asymmetry interacts between species through "e;cross-predation."e; Contrary to fish, lateral asymmetry in snails acts as, in most cases, positive frequency-dependent selection and provides deep insights into speciation. Especially, snakes eating righty snails facilitate speciation of lefty snails.As a collaboration work of field ecologists and theoretical biologists, this book covers a variety of topics on lateral asymmetry, which are consistently related to predation. The topics include behavioral ecology, population dynamics, physiology, evolution, genetics, development, learning and neuroscience, statistics, with the subjects of fish, shrimp, prawn, and crayfish, crab, cuttlefish, and snake and snail. Chapters cover new research results such as cuttlefish laterality dynamics, interaction between laterality of snails and snakes, evolution of laterality genetic system, and statistical analysis of laterality oscillation. Readers will appreciate the simplicity and beauty of lateral asymmetry and its profound impact on ecology and evolution.

Óscar Caso, veterinario y ganadero, presenta en este libro una reflexión y una defensa necesaria de un sector que existe desde hace miles de años, la ganadería, cuya imagen ha sido mortalmente atacada, lo que agrava el problema de la despoblación del mundo rural y genera otros muchos e importantes daños.Durante estos 20 años se ha producido una evolución en la mentalidad de la población urbana de la idea que hasta ahora se tenía del sector ganadero. Lenta pero inexorablemente ha ido pasando de ser considerado un sector esencial a uno prescindible.La desconexión de la sociedad urbana con el mundo rural se ha traducido fundamentalmente en dos fenómenos sociales: el animalismo, o la consideración de los animales como seres con los mismos derechos que un ser humano; y el veganismo, que aboga por prescindir de todos los productos de origen animal alegando motivos éticos, de salud y sostenibilidad. Así, la ganadería es acusada de ser una de las principales causas del cambio climático y del efecto invernadero.Óscar comparte su opinión respecto a todas estas cuestiones, que son abordadas en los medios desde la superficialidad y la ignorancia, basándose en su conocimiento y experiencia, en una llamada a la responsabilidad y la sensatez.

Conservation interest in moths, by far the predominant components of Lepidoptera, lags far behind that for butterflies, for which conservation practice provides many well-established lessons for extension to their near relatives. The needs of moths are at least as great, but their greater richness and variety, and far poorer documentation of diversity and biology over much of the world contribute to this lack of attention. Australiäs rich moth fauna, largely endemic and of global interest, illustrates many of the problems of developing wider interest and support for moth conservation. Numerous species (perhaps half the total fauna) are undescribed, and many are ecological specialists in restricted and vulnerable environments over small parts of the continent. Establishing their conservation status and needs whilst accepting that foundation knowledge is highly incomplete and much species-focused conservation is impracticable provides complex problems in setting priorities, based largely on wider diversity and effective advocacy. Most Australian vegetation systems, from grassland to forest and from sea-level to alpine zones, have been eroded in extent and quality since European settlement, resulting in massive habitat changes for native insects and to leave fragmented (and commonly degraded) remnants in which moths and others may persist. Recent surveys continue to increase recorded moth richness, reveal local faunal peculiarities, and indicate how assemblage changes may mirror wider environmental changes. This book is an overview of advances in documenting and interpreting moth diversity and ecology, to show how information from better-studied moth faunas can help in planning conservation of Australiäs moths through measures such as understanding the moths themselves by increased surveys and study, the factors influencing their diversity and wellbeing, and how such threats may be countered through increased coordinated conservation interest, commitment and management.
