Archaeopress Animal Husbandry and Hunting in the Central and
Book SynopsisHerding and hunting, along with farming, represented the economic basis of subsistence of communities in the past. The strategies of animal husbandry and hunting were diverse and different between communities, whilst they also changed over time. The differences and variations were sometimes caused by local or regional environmental conditions, but were also the result of social, cultural, political, and even religious factors. Animal Husbandry and Hunting in the Central and Western Balkans Through Time brings new results of research on animal herding and hunting in the central and western Balkans during prehistoric and historic periods. The investigations presented here cover a wide range of topics related to animal exploitation strategies; they range from broad syntheses to specific case studies and, moreover, include interdisciplinary studies that use zooarchaeological and historical data, iconographic representations and modern laboratory analysis.Table of ContentsForeword – Nemanja Marković and Jelena Bulatović ; Eating well on Adriatic palaeoshore – marine and terrestrial molluscs as evidence of Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene cuisine in Vlakno Cave, Dugi Otok, Croatia – Antonela Barbir, Nikola Vukosavljević and Dario Vujević ; Bone technology from the Early Neolithic site of Bataševo (Serbia) – Selena Vitezović, Nemanja Marković and Velibor Katić ; Herding and hunting at Vinča – Belo Brdo and Stubline during the Late Neolithic, a stable isotopic perspective – Rosalind E.

The University of Chicago Press A Biological Assessment of the Lakekamu Basin,
Book SynopsisThe Lakekamu Basin of Papua New Guinea encompasses roughly 2500 square kilometres of pristine wilderness lowland rain forest. Exceptional both in terms of numbers of species (the greatest diversity of ant species known from anywhere in the world) and species found nowhere else, the basin is also sparsely populated, roadless, and so far unexploited by large-scale logging or mining projects, making it an excellent conservation opportunity. This book provides the results of an intensive survey of the basin's plants, insects, fish, reptiles and amphibians, mammals, and birds. During just one month of field work, 35-47 new species and possibly new genera were discovered, highlighting the biological richness of this region.

The University of Chicago Press A Rapid Biological Assessment of the Northern
Book SynopsisUnder imminent threat from habitat destruction, the northern Cordillera Vilcabamba in the Andes is one of Peru's biologically richest areas. This report presents the results of two recent ecological surveys of this little-known region. Investigating both high and low elevation sites, the surveys discovered several species new to science. For instance, nearly a third of all the butterfly and moth species studied were previously unknown, and a large arboreal rodent species collected may even represent a new genus. This report also provides critical recommendations for effective conservation in the Vilcabamba, as well as a detailed anthropological assessment of resource use by local communities.

Peeters Publishers Aristote et les classifications zoologiques
Book SynopsisCe livre propose une étude générale de la classification des animaux, qui constitue un enjeu central dans les études actuelles sur la «biologie» d'Aristote. Si Aristote est le seul scientifique grec à proposer une enquête systématique et une classification élaborée son travail doit être resitué dans une continuité et un contexte scientifique et littéraire élargi. En prenant Aristote comme plaque tournante, ce livre analyse donc chronologiquement les sytèmes partiels ou généraux de classement des animaux dans l'ensemble des oeuvres grecques à pertinence zoologique du VIIIe au IVe siècle, détaillant son héritage (Homère, Empédocle, Platon, Dioclès, ...) et son legs auprès de ses contemporains ou successeurs rapprochés (Speusippe Théophraste, Mnésithée, ...). Ce panorama permet non seulement de mesurer l'étendue, la diversité et la précision des distinctions zoologiques enregistrées par Aristote, mais aussi de définir les principales orientations de la pensée classificatoire grecque en zoologie et d'offrir sous ce jour une page de l'histoire antique de la zoologie.
