However, while much progress has been made on some fronts, we still lack a general theory about why the diversity of signaling structures exist. Our compilation will directly address this gap by focusing on an exciting new arena of sexual selection, namely using functional approaches to understand signaling. This approach is rooted in the idea that many signals are designed to transmit important funAnimal communicationAnimal communication.591.59Irschick Duncan J.Briffa MarkPodos Jeffrey1967-O'Toole AnthonyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819995503321Animal signaling and function3992378UNINA02945nam 22006855 450 991029941580332120250324154241.09783319698809331969880X10.1007/978-3-319-69880-9(CKB)4100000000881850(DE-He213)978-3-319-69880-9(MiAaPQ)EBC5115329(PPN)220126771(EXLCZ)99410000000088185020171026d2018 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCropping Pattern Modification to Overcome Abiotic Stresses Water, Salinity and Climate /by Samiha A. H. Ouda, Abd El-Hafeez Zohry, Mostafa Morsy1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (VII, 111 p. 11 illus. in color.) SpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,2194-72529783319698793 3319698796 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.This book provides state-of-the art analysis, never done before in Egypt, on agro-climatic zones level. This study deals with how the national cropping pattern can be modified to overcome abiotic stresses, such as water scarcity, induced salinity and climate change to reduce their negative effects on food production. To this end, different cropping patterns are suggested.  This study can be a framework for other developing countries to be used in quantifying and filling the gap in their knowledge about practices that can help in increasing their food security through increasing food production. Furthermore, the study is useful for policy makers to help them in their future plans and policies.  .SpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,2194-7252AgricultureWaterHydrologyEcologyClimatologyAgricultureWaterEnvironmental SciencesClimate SciencesAgriculture.Water.Hydrology.Ecology.Climatology.Agriculture.Water.Environmental Sciences.Climate Sciences.631.58Ouda Samiha A.
