All species in this relatively small order are obligatory haematophagous (blood-feeding) parasites of higher vertebrates. This book examines how functional, ecological and evolutionary patterns and processes of host-parasite relationships are realized in this particular system. As such it provides an in-depth case study of a host-parasite system, demonstrating how fleas can be used as a model taxon for testing ecological and evolutionary hypotheses. The book moves from basic descriptive aspects, to functional issues and finally to evolutionary explanations. It extracts several general principles that apply equally well to other host-parasite systems, so it appeals not only to flea biologists but also to 'mainstream' parasitologists and ecologists.Functional & Evolutionary Ecology of FleasFleasEcologyFleasEvolutionHost-parasite relationshipsFleasEcology.FleasEvolution.Host-parasite relationships.595.77/517857Krasnov Boris R.1950-857190UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910450945003321Functional and evolutionary ecology of fleas2491889UNINA03841nam 2200709Ia 450 991096647040332120200520144314.0978-615-5211-37-9978-6-15521-137-99786155211379615-5211-37-X0-585-43967-21-281-37660-4978661137660410.1515/9786155211379(CKB)1000000000520440(dli)HEB08610(SSID)ssj0000280007(PQKBManifestationID)11228841(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000280007(PQKBWorkID)10268976(PQKB)11650741(MiAaPQ)EBC3137248(OCoLC)51478878(MdBmJHUP)muse25964(Au-PeEL)EBL3137248(CaPaEBR)ebr10191410(CaONFJC)MIL137660(OCoLC)939263421(DE-B1597)633337(DE-B1597)9786155211379(MiU)MIU01000000000000012232215(OCoLC)1338018820(EXLCZ)99100000000052044019990819d1999 uy 0engurmnummmmuuuutxtccrGovernment and politics in Hungary /Andras KorosenyiEnglish ed.Budapest ;New York Central European University Press19991 online resource (xxi, 330 p. ) "Translated by Alan Renwick"--t.p. verso.963-9116-76-9 963-9116-61-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of Tables -- List of Figures -- Abbreviations -- Preface and Acknowledgements -- Introduction Political Tradition -- Chapter One Political Culture -- Chapter Two The Parties -- Chapter Three The Party System -- Chapter Four Political Cleavages -- Chapter Five Political Elites -- Chapter Six Electoral Behaviour -- Chapter Seven The Electoral System and Elections -- Chapter Eight Economic Interest Groups and Interest Reconciliation -- Chapter Nine The Constitutional and Governmental System -- Chapter Ten The Government -- Chapter Eleven Governmental Decision-Making and Control over the Administration -- Chapter Twelve The Parliament -- Chapter Thirteen The Constitutional Court -- Chapter Fourteen The Head of State -- Conclusion Hungarian Democracy -- Appendices -- Bibliography -- IndexBased on unprecedented access to information, Government and Politics in Hungary provides not only a historical overview but also an analysis of the main political actors, constitution, electoral system, parliament and political parties of Hungary.This timely and detailed analysis contains a wealth of important data which serves two major objectives. The first is to survey the most important institutions of the political and governmental systems and the cultural and behavioural characteristics of Hungarian politics. The second, is to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the two-way relationship between cultural-behavioural and constitutional-institutional levels of politics in Hungary. The book challenges many stereotypes of post-communist political literature and reveals why Hungarian politics does not fit into many of the generalizations and 'pigeon holes' of contemporary political science.ACLS Humanities E-Book.HungaryHistory20th centuryHungaryPolitics and government943.9Korosenyi Andras1004195MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966470403321Government and politics in Hungary2306427UNINA
