This volume is a comprehensive reference work on the life, labors, and influence of the great evolutionist Charles Darwin.

This volume contains 81 chapters that relate to veterinary and bacterial virology.

Written by leading scientists from around the world, Encyclopedia of Biological Invasions addresses all aspects of this subject at a global level--including invasions by animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria--in succinct, alphabetically arranged articles.

The Encyclopedia of Cell Biology offers a broad overview of cell biology, offering reputable, foundational content for researchers and students across the biological and medical sciences.

A comprehensive guide to the essentials of evolutionary biology, these entries by leading experts survey essential concepts and theories, present methods, models and findings, and discuss both the history of the field and current controversies.

The focus is on studies based on the human and mouse genomes, but other important model eukaryotes, as well as pathogenic bacteria, are given in-depth coverage.

Topics discussed include gene regulation and early developmental gene expression in vertebrates; developmental regulation of sensory receptor gene expression; gene silencing; effective methods for selecting siRNA sequences; genome-wide identification and analysis of miRNAs; genetic diversity; genetic variability in the fescue-ryegrass complex and genetic and functional diversity of phosphate solubilizing.

"The Encyclopedia of Life is a collaborative scientific effort led by the Field Museum of Natural History, Harvard University, Marine Biological Laboratory, Missouri Botanical Garden, Smithsonian Institution, and Biodiversity Heritage Library.

In more than 200 entries, Encyclopedia of Microbiology presents the myriad ways in which microorganisms influence the biosphere.

A comprehensive collection of articles on all aspects of genetics, from Mendel to the decoding of the human genome.
