Unearthing the amazing hidden stories of women who changed paleontology forever.
For centuries, women have played key roles in defining and developing the field of vertebrate paleontology. Yet very little is known about these important paleontologists, and the true impacts of their contributions have remained obscure. In Rebels, Scholars, Explorers, Annalisa Berta and Susan Turner celebrate the history of women bone hunters, delving into their fascinating lives and work. At the same time, they explore how the discipline has shaped our understanding of the history of life on Earth.
Berta and Turner begin by presenting readers with a review of the emergence of vertebrate paleontology as a science, emphasizing the contributions of women to research topics and employment. This is followed by brief biographical sketches and explanations of early discoveries by women around the world over the past 200 years, including those who who held roles as researchers, educators, curators, artists, and preparators. Forging new territory, Berta and Turner highlight the barriers and challenges faced by women paleontologists, describing how some managed to overcome those obstacles in order to build careers in the field. Finally, drawing on interviews with a diverse group of contemporary paleontologists, who share their experiences and offer recommendations to aspiring fossil hunters, they provide perspectives on what work still needs to be done in order to ensure that women's contributions to the field are encouraged and celebrated.
Uncovering and relating lost stories about the pivotal contributions of women in vertebrate paleontology doesn't just make for enthralling storytelling, but also helps ensure a richer and more diverse future for this vibrant field. Illuminating the discoveries, collections, and studies of fossil vertebrates conducted by women in vertebrate paleontology, Rebels, Scholars, Explorers will be on every paleontologist's most-wanted list and should find a broader audience in the burgeoning sector of readers from all backgrounds eager to learn about women in the sciences.

Описание: Although the fundamental principles of vocal production are well-understood, and are being increasingly applied by specialists to specific animal taxa, they stem originally from engineering research on the human voice. These origins create a double barrier to entry for biologists interested in understanding acoustic communication in their study species. The proposed volume aims to fill this gap, providing easy-to-understand overviews of the various relevant theories and techniques, and showing how these principles can be implemented in the study of all main vertebrate groups. The volume will have eleven chapters assembled from the world's leading researchers, at a level intelligible to a wide audience of biologists with no background in engineering or human voice science. Some will cover sound production in a particular vertebrate group; others will address a particular issue, such as vocal learning, across vertebrate taxa. The book will highlight what is known and how to implement useful techniques and methodologies, but will also summarize current gaps in the knowledge. It will serve both as a tutorial introduction for newcomers and a springboard for further research for all scientists interested in understanding animal acoustic signals.

Handbook of Ultrasonic Vocalization: Window into the Mammalian Brain, Volume 25, is an exhaustive resource on ultrasonic vocalizations in vertebrates, providing full coverage of all aspects of these vocalizations. The book also demonstrates the usefulness of ultrasonic vocalizations in studies of animal communication, sociobiological states, and in mammalian models of affective disorders, addictions and neurodevelopmental disorders, making it an indispensable resource for researchers using animal models. The book begins with the evolution of vocal communication before discussing mechanisms of ultrasound production, perception and the brain systems involved in emotional arousal that are responsible for the generation of vocalization and emotional states.
In addition, the book covers studies of neuroactive agents and sociopsychological conditions that can regulate the outcome of ultrasonic vocalization and provide clues about animals' internal states. Critically, the book also includes thorough coverage of pharmacological investigations using ultrasonic vocalizations, increasingly being utilized for studies in affective disorders, psychoses, addiction and alcoholism. No other book provides such extensive coverage of this rapidly growing field of study.
Represents a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates evolution, communication, behavioral homeostasis, emotional expression and neuropsychiatric dysfunction
Provides a systematic review of ultrasonic vocalizations in major groups of rodents widely used in laboratory research
Discusses numerous other species across vertebrates that emit ultrasounds

Описание: Excerpt from Maccabe's Art of Ventriloquism and Vocal Illusions: With Full Directions to Learners How to Acquire a Pleasing Vocalization; Showing How to Begin and Practice Marvellous Illustrations of Ventriloquism; With Amusing Dialogues for Beginners, Including the "Repertoire" Of the English Railway Porter The qualities required for a ventriloqulst are flexibility, ordi nary strength in the cartilaginous membrane of the throat and the muscles of abdominal regions, and a power of imitativeness. It will be readily conceded that these qualities are possessed by the majority of people who have no physical defect in these organs. But the power of imitativeness is dependent on a combi nation of qualities of the ear and the voice. The correct imitation of sounds depends entirely upon the ear. A person possessed of the most perfect and highly trained vocal organs, if he have a de fective ear, can neither sing in tune nor imitate sounds correctly, though he be endowed with every other requisite for mimicry. The province of the ear in relation to the production of sounds is very clearly and ably treated of by Dr Pardee, in a paper called The Physical Requirements of Song, published in the Lotos Leavrs, New York, 1875.

Описание: To the majority of biologists, the physiological control of mammalian vocalizations is only a small part of the large field of motor physiology. Anatomically, essential cerebral structures involved in the control of gross and fine movements of the mammalian body seem to participate in the control of the voice as well.
