Download Cricket Behavior and Neurobiology Online Book ByFranz Huber Total Download 14 “You are today who you’ll be in five years except for the people you meet and the books you read.” –Charlie “Tremendous” Jones Synopsis The world of crickets has long been a world of scientific adventure and human fascination. Because of their remarkable ways of communicating and because their nervous and endocrine systems are easily accessible to researchers, crickets can be studied and analyzed with great effectiveness. Starting in the 1960's, vastly improved behavioral and neurobiological techniques have brought them to the frontier of the new field of neuroethology.Here, in the most comprehensive book on crickets ever compiled, twenty-five leading scientists detail the present state of cricket research both at conceptual and at experimental levels. They tell about the manifold strategies crickets use in matching development with seasons and habitats, finding mates, and avoiding parasites and...

Read and Download The Physics of Cricket Online Book PDF ByMark Kidger Total Download 28 “I often carry things to read so that I will not have to look at people.” –Charles Bukowski Synopsis An engaging look at the science behind one of the most popular sports in the world, this entertaining reference explains the fundamental impact of physics on all aspects of the game of cricket. Beginning with a brief history of the sport, the book then provides an empirical understanding of how it is played, from the handling of the ball and the design of the bat to the angle of the bowler’s arm and the quality of the playing surface. Discussing scientific concepts such as the laws of optics, hydrodynamics, ballistics, and probability, this informative exploration furnishes both a better understanding of the nuances of the game as well as some of the basic principles of physics and mechanics.

Download and Read The Cricket as a Model Organism Book PDF ByHadley Wilson Horch,Taro Mito,Aleksandar Popadić,Hideyo Ohuchi,Sumihare Noji Total Download 14 Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. Synopsis This book covers a broad range of topics about the cricket from its development, regeneration, physiology, nervous system, and behavior with remarkable recent updates by adapting the new, sophisticated molecular techniques including RNAi and other genome editing methods. It also provides detailed protocols on an array of topics and for basic experiments on the cricket.While the cricket has been one of the best models for neuroethological studies over the past 60 years, it has now become the most important system for studying basal hemimetabolous insects. The studies of Gryllus and related species of cricket will yield insight into evolutionary features that are not evident in other insect model systems, which mainly focus on holometabolous insects s...
