Advances in Animal Science and Zoology. Volume 15 begins by presenting the main advances of artificial insemination and timed artificial insemination, highlighting the technical parameters, advantages, and influencing factors in an effort to discuss practical and current strategies for the improvement of the herd via artificial insemination programs.Following this, the authors provide current knowledge on the influence of insecticide resistance in Culex quinquefasciatus in India, as well as the governing molecular mechanisms including gene interactions and gene regulation. The potential impact of the latest findings on aspects of research in the field, associated issues and probable solutions is also addressed.A study on eusocial Hymenoptera, a large order of insect, is included. The factors that determine castes are addressed, and the varying methods of initiation of reproduction by workers in primitive and advanced eusocial species are outlined.This compilation goes on to discuss Mycoplasma synoviae, an important poultry pathogen that causes airsacculitis, synovitis, and eggshell apex abnormalities. M. synoviae infections cause significant economic losses to the poultry industry due to the culling of birds, increased carcass condemnation and decreased egg production.The authors review the most relevant scientific contributions to the understanding of brain mechanisms related to working memory using macaques as a study model. The neurophysiological mechanisms of working memory in the macaque have been thoroughly explored, which has given rise to unprecedented advances in the understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie this type of memory in other mammals, including humans.The conclusion centers on the utmost task of a biologist: knowing the taxonomic status of the organism on which the study is focused. A taxonomist fulfills this task by distinguishing the salient characteristics of the organism concerned, giving it an appropriate name and placing it to taxonomic hierarchies.

This volume includes six chapters that present updates in animal science and zoology. Chapter One examines the use of zebrafish model system to investigate the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Chapter Two consolidates facts about melatonin and its involvement in the regulation of fish populations. Chapter Three explores the interaction between the native aquatic gastropod, Valvata humeralis, and invasive aquatic gastropod, Potamopyrgus antipodarum, along a biotic gradient of density in a system where it was suspected that an interaction shift was occurring. Chapter Four explores competition and facilitation between these two gastropods. Chapter Five analyzes the role of superoxide dismutase in reptiles under toxicity contexts. Lastly, Chapter Six analyzes and assesses the corpses of three English Bulldog puppies that had anasarca, a fetal malformation that presents generalized edema.
The factors governing life on earth are changing constantly and the same is true for life too. The unique property of the living forms is their ability to change themselves, accepting the challenge caused by changes in the surroundings and this has enabled them to exploit the environment successfully, leading to their survival, multiplication and continuation on earth since first appearance. The association of man and animals dates back to the prehistoric period. The prehistoric men knew animals; they could distinguish them from one another, from different angles, primarily from their daily needs and safety. The early Egyptians knew quite a lot about animals, and domesticated cattle, sheep, cats and ducks. Today the tree of Animal Science has grown steadily for millions of years, diversifying it in many branches. Our ever-increasing knowledge in Animal Science has enabled us to apply this science in human benefit, ranging from prevention of diseases to production of various items for our use, introduction and stabilization of new hybrids, and in many other fields. Hence, the Animal Science has attained new and advance spectrum, which is visible in this book. Therefore, it is to be noted that the present book is a unique compilation of most recent research articles in various fields of Zoology and will be very much helpful for students, research scholars, and college or university teachers.
