Catherwood Foundation Peruvian-Amazon Expedition
Author: Ruth Patrick
Publisher: Academy of Natural Sciences
ISBN: 9781422317822
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
This expedition to study the aquatic life in certain sections of rivers that are part of the Peruvian headwaters of the Amazon was funded by the Catherwood Fdn., & the Amer. Philosophical Soc. The purpose of this expedition was to compare the pattern of aquatic life in rivers in the tropical zone with the pattern of aquatic life in rivers in the temperate zone in eastern & southern U.S. Contents: Introduction, by Ruth Patrick; Limnological Observations & Discussion of Results, by Ruth Patrick; Chemical, Physical, & Bacterial Characteristics, by Yvonne H. Swabey; & Systematic Studies: Essays by John Cairns, Jr., Frederick A. Aldrich, Selwyn S. Roback, Paul J. Spangler, Francis Drouet, H. Skuja, L.A. Whitford, & Matthew H. Hohn. Illustrations.

Living in a Dynamic Tropical Forest Landscape
Author: Nigel Stork
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1444300334
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 652
Book Description
This book brings together a wealth of scientific findings andecological knowledge to survey what we have learned about the“Wet Tropics” rainforests of North Queensland,Australia. This interdisciplinary text is the first book to providesuch a holistic view of any tropical forest environment, includingthe social and economic dimensions. The most thorough assessment of a tropical forest landscape todate Explores significant scientific breakthroughs in areasincluding conservation genetics, vegetation modeling, agroforestryand revegetation techniques, biodiversity assessment and modeling,impacts of climate change, and the integration of science innatural resource management Research achieved, in part, due to the Cooperative ResearchCentre for Tropical Rainforest Ecology and Management (theRainforest CRC) Written by a number of distinguished internationalexperts contains chapter summaries and section commentaries

Studies on the Ecology of Tropical Zooplankton
Author: Henri J. Dumont
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401108846
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
This volume reports on the findings of experts on tropical zooplankton gathered at a meeting in Kariba, Zimbabwe, in 1991. Some basic questions were asked on community composition and biodiversity in the tropics versus the non-tropics. Old ideas on the nature of zooplankton, which were found to be wider than the `classical' rotifers, cladocerans and copepods, as well as on the number of species in tropical waters, are now beginning to break down accordingly as more and more blank spots in the tropics are explored and as more in-depth studies on the zooplankton of tropical lakes are becoming available. This volume contains a mix of papers discussing the two alternative controls (bottom-up and top-down) of zooplankton community structure and these constitute another step towards a coherent theory of tropical ecosystem theory.
