This publication is the proceedings from a symposium on trout habitat held in 1974 at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina on trout habitat in the Southern Appalachians. Research and management issues were addressed, including challenges to trout habitats such as deforestation, fire, overgrazing, dams, mining, urban and industrial waste, road construction, and poor agricultu…
The book raises semiotic questions of human–animal relations: what is the semiotic character of different species, how humans endow animals with meaning, and how animal sign exchange and communication has coped with environmental change. The book takes a zoosemiotic approach and considers different species as being integrated with the environment via their specific umwelt or subjective percep…

Some members of the Raphignathoidea are suitable for biological pest control (G…
