The practical need to partition the world of viruses into distinguishable, universally agreed upon entities is the ultimate justification for developing a virus classification system. Since 1971, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) operating on behalf of the world community of virologists has taken on the task of developing a single, universal taxonomic scheme for all viruses infecting animals (vertebrate, invertebrates, and protozoa), plants (higher plants and algae), fungi, bacteria, and archaea. The current report builds on the accumulated taxonomic construction of the eight previous reports dating back to 1971 and records the proceedings of the Committee since publication of the last report in 2005. Representing the work of more than 500 virologists worldwide, this report is the authoritative reference for virus organization, distinction, and structure.

Through simple yet engaging language and detailed images and charts, readers will explore the work of Aristotle, Linnaeus, Darwin, and other well-known, and some not so well-known, figures throughout history who tried to make sense of the natural world, as well as the breakthroughs and technologies that allow scientists to study organisms down to the genetic level. This book supports the Next Generation Science Standards on heredity and biological evolution by helping students understand how mutations lead to genetic variation, which in turn leads to natural selection. In addition, informative sidebars, a bibliography, and a Further Reading section with current books and educational websites will allow inquisitive minds to dive deeper into the evolutionary relationships among organisms.

For more than a decade, Victoria Sambunaris (born 1964) has crossed the United States with her five-by-seven wooden field camera and sheets of color negative film. Traveling seemingly every road nationwide, Sambunaris has described herself as having "an unrelenting curiosity to understand the American landscape and our place in it." This first monograph on Sambunaris' work consists of two handsome hardback volumes. The first includes a retrospective selection of her images from 2000 to 2013; the second documents the artist's collected professional ephemera as a photographer and researcher. Included in this fascinating assortment of documents are images of books on geology and history, maps, artifacts such as mineral specimens, journals and road logs, as well as her small photographic sketches. An essay from MOCP Director Natasha Egan provides an insightful overview of this ardent chronicler of contemporary America.

Taxonomy is an ever-changing, controversial and exCitmg field of biology. It has not remained motionless since the days of its founding fathers in the last century, but, just as with other fields of endeavour, it continues to advance in leaps and bounds, both in procedure and in philosophy. These changes are not only of interest to other taxonomists, but have far reaching implications for much of the rest of biology, and they have the potential to reshape a great deal of current biological thought, because taxonomy underpins much of biological methodology. It is not only important that an ethologist. physiologist. biochemist or ecologist can obtain information about the identities of the species which they are investigating; biology is also uniquely dependent on the comparative method and on the need to generalize. Both of these necessitate knowledge of the evolutionary relationships between organisms. and it is the science of taxonomy that can develop testable phylogenetic hypotheses and ultimately provide the best estimates of evolutionary history and relationships.

About the book The book "Animal Taxonomy, Behavior and Chronobiology" is a comprehensive and multidisciplinary exploration of the intricate relationship between animal taxonomy, behavior, and the fascinating field of chronobiology. This book delves into the diverse world of animal life, investigating how taxonomy, the classification of species, intersects with the study of behavior patterns and the biological rhythms that govern them. Book Overview: In this illuminating volume, readers are invited on a captivating journey through the animal kingdom, where taxonomy, behavior, and chronobiology converge to offer insights into the intricate workings of different species. The book seamlessly blends scientific rigor with accessible explanations, making it an engaging resource for both experts in the field and curious enthusiasts. Key Themes: Animal Taxonomy The book begins by delving into the classification of animals, discussing the principles and methodologies of taxonomy. It explores the organization of species into hierarchical categories and the evolutionary relationships that underpin these classifications. Animal Behavior The second part of the book delves into animal behavior, shedding light on the wide array of behavioral patterns exhibited by various species. From social interactions to mating rituals, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the behaviors that define different animal groups. Chronobiology The third section of the book explores the captivating world of chronobiology, the study of biological rhythms and their synchronization with environmental cues such as light and dark cycles. Readers discover how animals' internal clocks regulate physiological processes and behaviors. Interdisciplinary Insights By merging the realms of taxonomy, behavior, and chronobiology, this book offers a unique interdisciplinary perspective. It showcases how understanding animal taxonomy can enhance our comprehension of behavior and chronobiology, ultimately deepening our appreciation of the intricate tapestry of life on Earth. Why This Book Matter "Animal Taxonomy, Behavior and Chronobiology" serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, educators, and students in fields such as biology, zoology, ethology, and chronobiology. Its comprehensive exploration of these interconnected areas fosters a holistic understanding of the animal world, illuminating the delicate balance between taxonomy, behavior, and the rhythmic forces that shape life. Whether you're a seasoned scientist or a curious reader eager to explore the wonders of the animal kingdom, this book invites you to embark on a captivating intellectual journey. With its blend of scientific rigor and accessible prose, "Animal Taxonomy, Behavior and Chronobiology" stands as a testament to the rich diversity of life forms that inhabit our planet and the profound insights their study can offer.
