View Rights PortalQuantifying Diets of Wildlife and Fish presents different techniques available to study animal diets. Ecologists determine animal diets to build natural history knowledge, test hypotheses in ecological theory and make informed management decisions for important ecosystems. Many researchers use techniques traditionally applied to the animals they study, rather than choose from the techniques with greatest potential for their study. In an effort to encourage researchers to consider new approaches, this book focuses on the techniques, rather than on particular groups of organisms or specific environments. With contributions from leading ecologists, chapters explore experimental design, observational techniques (including new technologies), stomach contents and faecal analysis, eDNA, tracers and stable isotopes. They also cover the latest multivariate methods of analyses suitable for describing animal diets and feeding relationships, as well as testing hypotheses relevant to ecological theory, environmental management and biological conservation. The expert knowledge provided will encourage readers to look beyond the boundaries of their specialties, assist in testing important hypotheses and provide insights into management problems. The examples in this book cover a range of vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as different environments, to open these methods up for novice ecologists and stimulate lateral thinking in more experienced researchers.
The feeding of farm animals directly effects their growth, health, reproduction and ultimately their economic value and is consequently one of the most studied areas of animal science. Building on the first edition and its predecessor, 'The Voluntary Food Intake of Farm Animals,' Forbes has produced an up-to-date and more focused examination of developments in the understanding of voluntary food intake and new ideas and studies relating to diet selection. Chapters have been reorganized and updated to provide a more streamlined approach.

»Was ich brauche, was ich so dringend brauche, ist das Gefühl, daß es bei all diesem Hin und Her einen Ausgangspunkt gibt, der, wenn er auch nie wieder erreicht werden kann, dennoch bestehen bleibt – ein solcher Ausgangspunkt wären meine Gedichte, wenn ich sie in Sicherheit wüßte, sauber abgedruckt und gebunden.« An Diet Kloos, 6. 9. 1949 1952 erschien bei der Deutschen Verlags-Anstalt Paul Celans Gedichtband Mohn und Gedächtnis: vier Zyklen aus 56 Gedichten. In diesen Gedichten zog Paul Celan die Summe seines bis dahin entstandenen Werks, zugleich eine Lebenssumme: Auf dem bitteren Weg von Verfolgung und Exil hatte er über die Stationen Bukarest und Wien schließlich Paris erreicht. Mohn und Gedächtnis erfüllte für Celan endlich jenen quälenden Wunsch seines Briefes an Diet Kloos vom 6.September 1949 nach einem Buch als »Ausgangspunkt« seiner künftigen Existenz. Mit Mohn und Gedächtnis drang Celan erstmals ins Bewußtsein der literarisch interessierten öffentlichkeit der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Vorausgegangen war dem zwar bereits 1948 die in Wien erschienene Gedichtsammlung Der Sand aus den Urnen, doch ließ Celan die Restbestände dieses von Druckfehlern entstellten und praktisch wirkungslosen Buches 1951 makulieren. Einen großen Teil der Gedichte von Der Sand aus den Urnen hat er in Mohn und Gedächtnis übernommen. Die enge Beziehung beider Bücher wird daher auch editorisch dargestellt. Die Bonner Ausgabe ist die umfassende, maßgebliche Ausgabe der Werke Paul Celans. Sie dokumentiert vollständig die Entstehung der Texte. Dies geschieht in genauester Beschreibung der überlieferungsträger und in der genetischen Darstellung der einzelnen Textschichten.
