Sommario/riassunto

This book brings together a wide range of sampling methods for investigating different arthropod groups. Each chapter is organised to describe and evaluate the main sampling methods (field methods, materials and supplies, sampling protocols, effort needed, and limitations); in addition, some chapters describe the specimen preparation and conservation, species identification, data collection and management (treatment, statistical analysis, interpretation), and ecological/conservation implications of arthropod communities. The book aims to be a reference for zoologists, entomologists, arachnologists, ecologists, students, researchers, and for those interested in arthropod science and biodiversity. We hope the book will contribute to advance knowledge on field assessments and conservation strategies. Arthropods represent the most speciose group of organisms on Earth, with a remarkable number of species and interactions still to be described. These invertebrates are recognized for playing key ecological roles in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. Because of the increasing and relentless threats arthropods are facing lately due to a multitude of human induced drivers, this book represents an important contribution to assess their biodiversity and role in ecosystem functioning and generation of ecosystem services worldwide.

Sommario/riassunto

K-Taping – the successful reference book Over 16,00 therapists who are already working with the method can confirm, that K-Taping is a unique tool assisting physiotherapists, sports physiotherapists, medical doctors, occupational therapists and others, in the treatment of an extraordinary variety of conditions – ranging from musculoskeletal issues (e.g. back pain, muscle tension, joint instabilities) to diverse pain conditions (e.g. migraine or menstrual pain) and even including post-operative lymphatic therapy (e.g. following breast cancer surgery). K-



Taping is also established in professional and competitive sport, as a tool for pre-training preparation, prevention and treatment. This practical guide provides all the background information you need, and shows you how to use the specially developed elastic K-Tape most effectively.   K-Taping in theory -          The special elastic tape’s properties, basic principles and effects -          The function of K-Taping therapy -          Fundamentals of K-Tape application -          Contraindications K-Taping in practice -          The four major application techniques (muscle, ligament, correction, lymph applications), each described in detail and illustrated with a clinical case -          70 particularly common medical conditions, and their treatment using K-Tape applications -          Each technique illustrated in up to six full-color photos and anatomical drawings -          Concise step-by-step instruction, covering the specifics of each medical condition, plus additional practical tips -          At a glance: Memo boxes for each technique, summarizing the main points to remember New for the 2nd edition -          20 additional application techniques for the fields of neurology and gynaecology (also including pre- and post-natal) -          Approximately 150 additional colour photographs, to accompany and illustrate instructions Course companion and reference book – a must have, whether you are currently studying K-Taping, or have already completed certification -          As a companion to K-Taping training courses and -          As refresher and reference book for the use of K-Taping in practice.
