Biology of Fishes

The Third Edition of Biology of Fishes is chiefly about fish as remarkably efficient machines for coping with the many problems that life in water entails and looks at many such special cases. Fishes form the largest group of vertebrates with around 20 000 known species and they display a remarkable diversity of size shape internal structure and ecology to cope with environments ranging from transient puddles to the abyssal depths of the sea. Biology of Fishes does not try to cover all aspects of fish biology but focuses on the ingenious ways in which fish have resolved the particular problems that come from living in water especially body fluid regulation locomotion feeding mechanisms and sensory systems. Enough detail is provided for the reader to be able to go on and use primary research papers. Each chapter has been thoroughly updated and a new chapter on the immune system has been added. This is an ideal textbook for students of fish biology and any of the branches of aquatic biology. Given its skilful combination of breadth and detail the book also provides a manageable review of fish biology for experienced biologists.

Managing Competences Research Practice and Contemporary Issues

Managing Competences: Research Practice and Contemporary Issues draws together theoretical and practical research in competence management. It provides a wealth of knowledge concerning emerging and contemporary issues such as the multilevel approach to competence the development of collective competence the strategies of competence management and the tools for managing competences as well as the organizational dynamics of competences. Moreover the book provides a critical approach to research and practitioners’ continued engagement in competence management research and practice. Research in competence management has more recently entered an era more open to doubt and questioning: Is there a solid theoretical foundation that supports the concept of competence? What is the contribution of research on employees’ competences to human resources management in particular and more generally to management? Is there not a risk of diluting the concept of competence by considering it at the individual collective organizational and strategic levels? Today is it still possible to manage competences in a world where the boundaries of the organizations are more and more porous? These questions and many others probably explain why a field that seemed well-identified and well-structured yesterday has given way today to new highly diverse analyses of competences by researchers and practitioners. This contributed volume seeks to answer these pressing issues and is a collective means for responding to them. The book brings together multiple streams of research in the field about emerging and contemporary issues including multidimensional HRM systems the rise of forms of collaborative management the intensification of the use of digital and robotic technologies the rise of the regime of remote and networked operations the increasing heterogeneity of the status of workers and changes in regulations concerning work and its recognition. | Managing Competences Research Practice and Contemporary Issues
