Atlas of the Anatomy of Dolphins and Whales is a detailed, fully illustrated atlas on the anatomy and morphology of toothed and whalebone whales. The book provides basic knowledge on anatomical structures, in particular, soft tissues, and functions as a standalone reference work for dissecting rooms and labs, and for those sampling stranded and by-caught dolphins in the field. As a companion and supplement to Anatomy of Dolphins: Insights into Body Structure and Function, this atlas will be of great interest to the scientific community, including veterinarians and biologists, as a book of reference. With a modern approach to dolphin anatomy and morphology, this atlas provides the extensive knowledge necessary to practitioners and theoretical scientists such as evolutionary biologists.
The conceptual clarity, precision, and comprehensive and updated display of the topographical anatomy of the body of cetaceans in the atlas support and illustrate the authors' related work, serving as a comprehensive reference for those who are more specifically interested in the details of the anatomy and morphology of porpoises, dolphins and whales.
Offers a single reference source and useful teaching tool for visualizing the integrated body and its components
Functions as a helpful method for demonstrating the animal's anatomy prior to dissection, and for teaching topographic and comparative anatomy
Provides a unique and authoritative resource that explicitly relates the gross and microscopic anatomy of cetacean organs and tissues
The prenatal development of dolphins is largely achieved

Описание: Marine biologist Micheline Jenner discovered humpback breeding grounds off the Kimberley coast, has swum through orange golfball-sized pygmy blue whale poo to uncover a feeding spot, and is one of very few people to witness a humpback whale giving birth.In The Secret Life of Whales she reveals the unknown world of these giants of the deep and shares insights from her work with humpback, blue and pygmy blue whales, taking us from Australia to Antarctica and beyond.Enlightening and eye-opening, The Secret Life of Whales reveals fascinating information about how whales live, tapping into Jenner’s world-leading research and infectious enthusiasm for these magnificent creatures.Sales PointsMicheline Jenner is the real deal in whale experts – a scientist with a passion for whales who has devoted twenty years to her research.Micheline’s infectious enthusiasm for whales will delight readers and media alike. A full media campaign is planned.Micheline has a great story – she lives onboard the boat Whale Song with her husband and they have raised two children on the high seasThe book is truly informative – it shares Micheline and Curt’s world-leading research including uncovering humpback whale breeding grounds off the Kimberley coast.
Hawaii-born author, therapist, and relationship expert Bobbie Merrill takes you on her ten-year journey into the deep and personal world of wild dolphins and whales. It took her almost the entire decade to believe the cetaceans could communicate with her. But once she yielded to the idea that their messages were both deliberate and wise, she discovered the real magic was not in their ability to converse with her, but in the power of what they were saying.
As you join Merrill in her journey, filled with moving stories about the wisdom and lives of the magnificent dolphins and whales, you too will discover
The source of the renowned magic of dolphins and whales
Why these intelligent beings come to our shores to befriend and teach us
The hidden and healing power of their kindness and love-and how you can use it to manifest our own dreams and ensure our survival
New Information about the devastating impact of sonar warming our ocean and why so many dolphins and whales are stranding themselves on our beaches to die
Not Just for Wisdom Seekers, Animal Lovers and Adventurers
Compelling Conversations with Dolphins and Whales in the Wild holds tremendous appeal for readers seeking serious personal healing and growth from a book steeped in laughter. It is also for those committed to saving our endangered dolphins and whales and other keystone marine mammals and plants that keep the ocean's tenuous ecosystem alive.
This unique true story and commentary not only shares Merrill's account from her perspective as one of the first to swim with wild cetaceans, but also enables you to surface from its pages with the same lessons for happiness and healing she was blessed to learn.
Toward the end of this joyfully entrancing memoir, the tone shifts to unveil the shocking truth Merrill was shown about our soul-tarnishing abuse of these high level beings that has brought them to the brink of extinction. After exposing this concealed information, she shifts back again to hope and new possibilities by sharing the heart-opening ideas she learned from the cetaceans for how we can change the course of our human and global crisis-hopefully in time for their salvation and ours.

Among all the large whales on Earth, the most unusual and least studied is the narwhal, the northernmost whale on the planet and the one most threatened by global warming. Narwhals thrive in the fjords and inlets of northern Canada and Greenland. These elusive whales, whose long tusks were the stuff of medieval European myths and Inuit legends, are uniquely adapted to the Arctic ecosystem and are able to dive below thick sheets of ice to depths of up to 1,500 meters in search of their prey-halibut, cod, and squid.
Join Todd McLeish as he travels high above the Arctic circle to meet:
Teams of scientific researchers studying the narwhal's life cycle and the mysteries of its tusk
Inuit storytellers and hunters
Animals that share the narwhals' habitat: walruses, polar bears, bowhead and beluga whales, ivory gulls, and two kinds of seals
McLeish consults logbooks kept by whalers and explorers and interviews folklorists and historians to tease out the relationship between the real narwhal and the mythical unicorn. In Colorado, he visits climatologists studying changes in the seasonal cycles of the Arctic ice. From a history of the trade in narwhal tusks to descriptions of narwhals' vocalizations as heard through hydrophones, Narwhals reveals the beauty and thrill of the narwhal and its habitat, and the threat it faces from a rapidly changing world.

Автор: Yuri Mikhalev Название: Whales of the Southern Ocean ISBN: 3030292517 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030292515 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 167700.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Based on actual data of Soviet whaling, and reliable methodologies that existed at the time when this monograph was written, it examines the distribution and migration patterns of whales of the Southern Ocean. It defines distinct populations on the basis of phenes, as well as whale breeding zones, which are located in the adjacent to the Southern Ocean waters at lower latitudes. The book records the presence of a new species of killer whale in the Southern Ocean - Orcinus nana. Prenatal growth patterns, pregnancy and lactation duration, mean sizes of new-born whales are determined. Methods for the graphic recording of registering structures are described, and an original method for their decoding is proposed to determine animal age. The age of sexual and physical maturity, life expectancy is determined. Earlier unknown “pair formations” on the lower jaw of baleen whales and sperm whales are described, together with their macro, histological and electronic microscopic structure. The impact of the extermination of whales on the Southern Ocean ecosystem is examined, recommendations for control of the current state of whale populations are given, and perspectives of whale population recovery are estimated. Regions that could be used as testing areas for whale registration method are defined. The book is intended for biologist-cytologists, ecologists and other specialists interested in cetaceans, and for biology students.
