She’s sure she’ll crack his shell eventually—no one can resist her cuteness for long—especially once they bond over watching a TV pet-tective show. When the duo discovers that some neighborhood animals have been disappearing, they decide to use their new detective skills to team up to solve this barnyard mystery. Is it a mountain lion?

Hormone und Hormonsystem - Lehrbuch der Endokrinologie: Lehrbuch Der Endokrinologie (Springer-lehrbuch Ser.)
by Bernhard Kleine Winfried RossmanithDie technischen Fortschritte und neuen Möglichkeiten der molekularen Biologie – Genomanalysen, Expressionsanalysen, konfokale Lasermikroskopie, Proteomics – lassen die Physiologie von Wirbeltieren, genauso wie die von Nicht-Wirbeltieren, in einem neuen Licht erscheinen. Bei der Darstellung der Endokrinologie von Mensch und Tier wird dieser Entwicklung Rechnung getragen: Die Schwerpunkte liegen auf Hormonbiochemie, Hormonphysiologie, Hormonrezeptoren, endokrinen Organen und Regelkreisen und der Regelung endokriner Rhythmen. Die Betrachtung des Hormonsystems reicht von seinen Ursprüngen bei Invertebraten, seiner Evolution, den Wechselwirkungen mit Nerven- oder Immunsystem bis zu Stoffwechselstörungen bei menschlichen Gen-Defekten. Die 4. Auflage ist deutlich erweitert. Das Thema Stoffwechsel nimmt, verteilt über mehrere Kapitel, eine wesentlich größeren Raum ein. Komplett neu ist auch die Embryologie der endokrinen Organe.

Horns, Tusks, and Flippers: The Evolution of Hoofed Mammals
by Robert M. Schoch Donald R. ProtheroSince the extinction of the dinosaurs, hoofed mammals have been the planet's dominant herbivores. Native to all continents except Australia and Antarctica, they include not only even-toed artiodactyls (pigs, hippos, camels, deer, antelopes, giraffes, sheep, goats, and cattle) and odd-toed perissodactyls (horses and rhinos), but also tethytheres (elephants and their aquatic relatives, manatees and seas cows) and cetaceans (whales and dolphins), which descended from hoofed land mammals. Recent paleontological and biological discoveries have deepened our understanding of their evolution and in some cases have made previous theories obsolete. <p><p>In Horns, Tusks, and Flippers, Donald R. Prothero and Robert M. Schoch present a compelling new evolutionary history of these remarkable creatures, combining the latest scientific evidence with the most current information about their ecology and behavior.
