Wildlife in a Changing World
Author: Jean-Christophe Vié
Publisher: IUCN
ISBN: 2831710634
Category : Biodiversity conservation
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
"Wildlife in a Changing World" presents an analysis of the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Beginning with an explanation of the IUCN Red List as a key conservation tool, it goes on to discuss the state of the world s species and provides the latest information on the patterns of species facing extinction in some of the most important ecosystems in the world, highlighting the reasons behind their declining status. Areas of focus in the report include: freshwater biodiversity, the status of the world s marine species, species susceptibility to climate change impacts, the Mediterranean biodiversity hot spot, and broadening the coverage of biodiversity assessments."

Deep Metazoan Phylogeny: The Backbone of the Tree of Life
Author: J. Wolfgang Wägele
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110277522
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 764
Book Description
The growing success of molecular methods has challenged traditional views of animal evolution and a large number of alternative hypotheses are hotly debated today. For the deep metazoan phylogeny project, data sets of hitherto unmatched quality and quantity were compiled and analysed with innovative bioinformatics tools. The book begins at the base of the tree of life to discuss the origin of animals and early branches of the phylogenetic tree. The following section presents special data sets gained from mitochondrial genomes and from morphology, with a focus on nervous systems. The final section is dedicated to theoretical aspects of data analysis and new bioinformatics tools. The book closes with a unique general discussion of all hypotheses contained in previous chapters. This work provides the most comprehensive overview available of the state of the art in this exciting field of evolutionary research.

Ecology and Morphology of Copepods
Author: Frank D. Ferrari
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401713472
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
Ecology and Morphology of Copepods is organized under the following general topics: Behavior, Feeding, Genetics, Horizontal Variations, Morphology, Phylogeny, Reproduction, Seasonal Changes, Vertical Distribution, plus two special sessions on copepods of the genus Acartia and cyclopid/mosquito interactions. The Maxilliped Lecture, given by Dr. Arthur G. Humes of Boston University, clearly established the importance of copepods to the earth's organic diversity. The book consists of selected research articles from the different sections. The articles published here reflect the diverse research interests of copepodologists today, and are distinguished by their high quality. Their impact will ensure that this volume is consulted by a wide range of research biologists.

Nematodes
Author: Fausto Boeri
Publisher: Nova Biomedical Books
ISBN: 9781614707844
Category : Nematodes
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Nematodes are the most numerous multi-cellular animals in the biosphere encountered in terrestrial or aquatic ecosystems among multispecies communities and are integrated in the food chain at five trophic levels according to their feeding habits. In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of nematodes, including the biological control of animal-parasitic nematodes and plant-parasitic nematodes; resistance and virulence in plant-nematode interactions; free-living nematodes in the marine ecosystem; management and control of the Pine Wood Nematode and slug pest management through nematodes in agricultural and horticultural crops.
