Beskrivning

Video has vast potential in the biological sciences but researchers often do not have the technical confidence to embark on the purchase of equipment and software. Moreover, any new technique which purports to help biologists to develop new approaches to their field of study needs careful evaluation. This book provides that for the use of video techniques. Covering applied techniques both in the laboratory and the field, it demonstrates the way in which the technology of video has already been used successfully in biological research. From its use in a range of behavioural and ecological areas (e.g. dispersal, foraging and migration of animals) the latest results from leading expert researchers using such techniques are given. This book should be of interest to ecologists, entomologists, agriculturalists, applied biologists, ethologists and video technologists.

'...an essential reference handbook for postgraduate students and researchers in higher education and industry who are involved in studies of reproductive and foraging behaviour and of the feeding and dispersal in vertebrates and invertebrates.' Ethology, Ecology and Evolution 'A practical sourcebook devoted to the applications of video techniques in the study of movement in organisms in the field and laboratory. It describes in detail systems used for exploring the behavior and ecology of animals as diverse as protozoa, molluscs, mites, predatory and flying insects, as well as domestic, wild, and farm vertebrates.' SciTech Book News (April 1994) 'The final judgement on a book like this is whether it motivates one to run right out and buy a video camera and associated computer equipment or not. Given the resources, we would do so (in the mean time, we recommend borrowing time on a colleague's system). ...If you are new to applications of video technology and think that you may have a good situation for an application, then a first look at a couple of the chapters in this book is an excellent way to examine the practical difficulties that you may have.' Acta Oecologica
