Animal Communication and NoiseThe study of animal communication has led to sig-nificant progress in our general understanding of motor and sensory systems, evolution, and specia-tion. However, one often neglected aspect is that signal exchange in every modality is constrained by noise, be it in the transmission channel or in the nervous system. This book analyses whether and how animals can cope with such constraints, and explores the implications that noise has for our understanding of animal communication.

Features 7 Includes studies on different taxa ranging from insects to mammals 7 Discusses also the implications of anthropogenic noise for conserva-tion 7 Richly illustrated

SubtelomeresNew genes and diversity leading to adaptation and evolution are generated in special areas of genomes. One such area in all eukaryotic genomes and in those prokaryotes with linear chromo-somes is the region near the ends of the chromo-somes. These telomere-associated sequences, or subtelomeres, have different properties than the rest of the genome and are one of the most excit-ing frontiers left in genomics. This book provides a broad introduction to the field of subtelomeres with detailed information from various fields and systems, covering yeasts and fungi, pathogens and parasites, plants, insects, humans and primates and bacteria with linear chromosomes. Advances in the field as well as continuing challenges are discussed throughout. The mosaic nature of this collection and the everchanging perspectives re-flect the nature of subtelomeres themselves. Unlike the core of most genomes, which are conserved and stable over time, subtelomeres are dynamic and polymorphic, so much so that generally no two individuals look alike in these regions. The dynamic nature of the region and the ability to change the copy number, generate diversity and try novel combinations make it the evolutionary tinker’s toolbox.

Features 7 Provides a broad introduction to the field of subtelomeres 7 Detailed information from various fields and systems, covering yeasts and fungi, pathogens and parasites, plants, insects, humans and primates and bacteria with linear chromosomes 7 Written by experts of different organisms across the biological sciences
