A Spider’s World: Senses and Behavior de Friedrich G. Barth

A Spider’s World: Senses and Behavior

Autor Friedrich G. Barth Traducere de M.A. Biedermann-Thorson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 noi 2001
Spiders are wonderful creatures. Their varied and complex range of behavior and highly developed sensory systems are excellently adapted to the environmental conditions - as is proven by their evolutionary success. Over 400 million years, spiders have developed their sensory organs to a fascinating technical perfection and complexity.
In his intriguing book, Professor Friedrich G. Barth puts this technical perfection into the context of "biology", in which the interaction between environment and sensory organs and the selectivity of the senses as a link between environment and behavior play a major role.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"Thanks to Professor Friedrich G. Barth, his numerous co-workers and students we have astonishing details about the sensorial world and behaviour of these large neotropical spiders … . even a non-arachnologist will find the text easily understandable and instructive. … The book is richly illustrated with numerous line drawings, diagrams and photographs and also contains 16 magnificent colour plates. Professor Barth’s monograph is a very useful book for all students of arthropod sensory physiology and behaviour." (J. Žd’árek, European Journal of Entomology, Vol. 99, 2002)
"This excellent book, written with authority and charm, is a scientific odyssey into the sensory world of spiders. … The book is very well produced, with a well laid-out text supported by numerous figures and photographs … . One of this great book’s many attractions is the way that the text involves the reader … . This highly readable and informative book will provide a valuable reference for researchers, students and teachers … as well as an essential addition to any arachnological bookshelf." (Mike Gray, Lab News, December/January, 2002/2003)

Caracteristici

400 million years of development have led to a fascinating technical perfection and complexity of the spider's sensory organs The renowned physiologist, Friedrich G. Barth, gives a gripping account of these achievements and the resulting behavior, taking the spider Cupiennius salei as a model Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
