    About this ebook

    International Review of General and Experimental Zoology, Volume 1 is a collection of world literature concerning developments in general and experimental zoology. This book is composed of 9 chapters, and begins with an overview of foraminiferal biology. Foraminifera are single-cell animals, which extrude granuloreticulose pseudopodia and construct monothalamous or polythalamous shells of an organic, arenaceous, or calcareous nature. The succeeding chapters explore the significance of life span in biting insects, and the optic and static components of equilibrium orientation in fish, as well as their evaluation in the central nervous system. These topics are followed by discussions on environment and reproduction in domesticated species; experimental, histochemical, and ultrastructural studies of mammalian pituitary function; and the reproductive biology of strepsirhine. The final chapters examine the phylogenesis of vertebrate mineralized tissues and the effect of chronic exposure to increased gravity on growth and form of animals. This book will prove useful to zoologists.

      The Earliest Bird Got The Worm: New Study Finds A 120-million-year-old Group Of Birds Probably Ate Insects Rather Than Fish

      May 30, 2022

      As the saying goes: "The early bird gets the worm", and a new study from Hong Kong suggests a group of birds from 120 million years ago may have, in fact, eaten worms. Or, more precisely, invertebrates. Published in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Biol

      How Snakes Became ‘Evolutionary Winners’

      Feb 26, 2024

      New research digs into how snakes hit the evolutionary jackpot. More than 100 million years ago, the ancestors of the first snakes were small lizards that lived alongside other small, nondescript lizards in the shadow of the dinosaurs. Then, in a bur

      Bird Brains Suggest How Ours Got so Big

      New research uses birds to test a hypothesis about the origins of big brains. Given how proud we are of our brains, it’s ironic that we haven’t yet figured out why we have them. One idea, called the cognitive buffer hypothesis, is that the evolution
