  • Patterns in Nature

    The Analysis of Species Co-occurrences

    de James G. Sanderson, Stuart L. Pimm ...
    What species occur where, and why, and why some places harbor more species than others are basic questions for ecologists. Some species simply live in different places: fish live underwater; birds do not. Adaptations follow: most fish have gills; birds have lungs. But as Patterns in Nature reveals, not all patterns are so trivial.Travel from island to island and the species change. Travel along ... Leer más

  • Terrestrial Mammal Conservation

    Global Evidence for the Effects of Interventions for Terrestrial Mammals Excluding Bats and Primates

    de Rebecca K. Smith, Nick A. Littlewood, Ricardo Rocha, Philip A. Martin, Sarah L. Lockhart, Rebecca F. Schoonover, Elspeth Wilman, Andrew J. Bladon, Katie A. Sainsbury, William J. Sutherland, Stuart Pimm ...
    Terrestrial Mammal Conservation provides a thorough summary of the available scientific evidence of what is known, or not known, about the effectiveness of all of the conservation actions for wild terrestrial mammals across the world (excluding bats and primates, which are covered in separate synopses). Actions are organized into categories based on the International Union for Conservation of ... Leer más

  • Other Minds

    The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness

    de Peter Godfrey-Smith ...
    Philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith dons a wet suit and journeys into the depths of consciousness in Other MindsAlthough mammals and birds are widely regarded as the smartest creatures on earth, it has lately become clear that a very distant branch of the tree of life has also sprouted higher intelligence: the cephalopods, consisting of the squid, the cuttlefish, and above all the octopus.

  • Mutualistic Networks

    de Jordi Bascompte, Pedro Jordano ...
    Series Libro 53 - Monographs in Population Biology
    Mutualistic interactions among plants and animals have played a paramount role in shaping biodiversity. Yet the majority of studies on mutualistic interactions have involved only a few species, as opposed to broader mutual connections between communities of organisms. Mutualistic Networks is the first book to comprehensively explore this burgeoning field. Integrating different approaches, from the ... Leer más

  • Corridor Ecology, Second Edition

    Linking Landscapes for Biodiversity Conservation and Climate Adaptation

    de Jodi A. Hilty, Annika T.H. Keeley, William Z. Lidicker Jr., Adina M. Merenlender ...
    Migrating wildlife species across the globe face a dire predicament as their traditional migratory routes are cut off by human encroachment. Forced into smaller and smaller patches of habitat, they must compete more aggressively for dwindling food resources and territory. This is more than just an unfortunate side effect of human progress. As key species populations dwindle, ecosystems are losing ... Leer más

  • Habitat Suitability and Distribution Models

    With Applications in R

    de Antoine Guisan, Wilfried Thuiller, Niklaus E. Zimmermann ...
    Series series Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation
    This book introduces the key stages of niche-based habitat suitability model building, evaluation and prediction required for understanding and predicting future patterns of species and biodiversity. Beginning with the main theory behind ecological niches and species distributions, the book proceeds through all major steps of model building, from conceptualization and model training to model ...

  • Spatial Simulation

    Exploring Pattern and Process

    de David O'Sullivan, George L. W. Perry ...
    A ground-up approach to explaining dynamic spatial modelling for an interdisciplinary audience.Across broad areas of the environmental and social sciences, simulation models are an important way to study systems inaccessible to scientific experimental and observational methods, and also an essential complement to those more conventional approaches. The contemporary research literature is teeming ... Leer más

  • The GEO Handbook on Biodiversity Observation Networks

    Edición de Michele Walters, Robert J. Scholes ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Biodiversity observation systems are almost everywhere inadequate to meet local, national and international (treaty) obligations. As a result of alarmingly rapid declines in biodiversity in the modern era, there is a strong, worldwide desire to upgrade our monitoring systems, but little clarity on what is actually needed and how it can be assembled from the elements which are already present. This ... Leer más

  • Water Quality Indices

    de Tabassum Abbasi, S. A. Abbasi ...
    This book covers water quality indices (WQI) in depth – it describes what purpose they serve, how they are generated, what are their strengths and weaknesses, and how to make the best use of them. It is a concise and unique guide to WQIs for chemists, chemical/environmental engineers and government officials. Whereas it is easy to express the quantity of water, it is very difficult to express its ... Leer más

  • Applying Graph Theory in Ecological Research

    de Mark R.T. Dale ...
    Graph theory can be applied to ecological questions in many ways, and more insights can be gained by expanding the range of graph theoretical concepts applied to a specific system. But how do you know which methods might be used? And what do you do with the graph once it has been obtained? This book provides a broad introduction to the application of graph theory in different ecological systems, ... Leer más

  • Mapping Species Distributions

    Spatial Inference and Prediction

    de Janet Franklin ...
    Series series Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation
    Maps of species' distributions or habitat suitability are required for many aspects of environmental research, resource management and conservation planning. These include biodiversity assessment, reserve design, habitat management and restoration, species and habitat conservation plans and predicting the effects of environmental change on species and ecosystems. The proliferation of methods and ... Leer más

  • The Theory of Island Biogeography Revisited

    Edición de Robert E. Ricklefs, Jonathan B. Losos ...
    Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson's The Theory of Island Biogeography, first published by Princeton in 1967, is one of the most influential books on ecology and evolution to appear in the past half century. By developing a general mathematical theory to explain a crucial ecological problem--the regulation of species diversity in island populations--the book transformed the science of ... Leer más
