A New Course of Plants and Animals
Author: M. A. Grigg
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107672007
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Originally published in 1958, this book was written to provide biology students with a guide to the study of nature during the first three years of grammar school, so that they could develop a sound understanding of the area prior to the beginning of their preparation for the G.C.E. examinations. The text is based around the study of plant and animal families, and information is also presented on the characteristics of plant and animal life and human physiology. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the teaching of biology and the history of education.

Animals, Plants and Afterimages
Author: Valérie Bienvenue
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1800734263
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
The sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction is one of the most pervasive issues of our time. Animals, Plants and Afterimages brings together leading scholars in the humanities and life sciences to explore how extinct species are represented in art and visual culture, with a special emphasis on museums. Engaging with celebrated cases of vanished species such as the quagga and the thylacine as well as less well-known examples of animals and plants, these essays explore how representations of recent and ancient extinctions help advance scientific understanding and speak to contemporary ecological and environmental concerns.

Plant Animal Interactions
Author: Carlos M. Herrera
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1444312294
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Interactions between plants and animals are incredibly diverse and complex and span terrestrial, atmospheric and aquatic environments. The last decade has seen the emergence of a vast quantity of data on the subject and there is now a perceived need among both teachers and undergraduate students for a new textbook that incorporates the numerous recent advances made in the field. The book is intended for use by advanced level undergraduate and beginning graduate students, taking related courses in wider ecology degree programmes. Very few books cover this subject and those that do are out of date.

Ecological Relationships of Plants and Animals
Author: Henry F. Howe
Publisher: Oxford University Press on Demand
ISBN: 9780195063141
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Over the past two decades, numerous field and experimental studies on the ecology and evolution of animal and plant interactions have been reported by botanists, zoologists, and ecologists. This textbook offers a comprehensive summary of this extensive and widely scattered literature, and in so doing presents the subject as a coherent, accessible discipline. The authors describe familiar areas, such as herbivory and pollination, and discuss new information on subjects such as seed dispersal, the genetics of coevolution, structural and chemical plant defenses, and the implications of human use of animal and plant communities. As they explore these issues, the authors raise provocative questions of fundamental importance: How can an earth teeming with plant-eating animals be so green? Do plants really need animals that pollinate their flowers and disperse their seeds? What happens to tropical plant communities when fruit-eating toucans and monkeys are killed by encroaching humans? By drawing together information on many diverse aspects of the subject--and presenting a challenging and insightful look into the complexities of plant and animal inter-relationships--this unique book represents a vital contribution to the ecological literature.

Population Ecology
Author: Michael Begon
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1444313754
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Worldwide, Population Ecology is the leading textbook on this titled subject. Written primarily for students, it describes the present state of population ecology in terms that can be readily understood by undergraduates with little or no background in the subject. Carefully chosen experimental examples illustrate each topic, and studies of plants and animals are combined to show how fundamental principles can be derived that apply to both species. Use of complex mathematics ia avoided throughout the book, and what math is necessary is dealt with by examination of real experimental data rather than dull theory. The latest edition of this leading textbook. Adopted as an Open University set text.
