Download or read book Conservation Biology for All written by Navjot S. Sodhi and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation Biology for All provides cutting-edge but basic conservation science to a global readership. A series of authoritative chapters have been written by the top names in conservation biology with the principal aim of disseminating cutting-edge conservation knowledge as widely as possible. Important topics such as balancing conversion and human needs, climate change, conservation planning, designing and analyzing conservation research, ecosystem services, endangered species management, extinctions, fire, habitat loss, and invasive species are covered. Numerous textboxes describing additional relevant material or case studies are also included. The global biodiversity crisis is now unstoppable; what can be saved in the developing world will require an educated constituency in both the developing and developed world. Habitat loss is particularly acute in developing countries, which is of special concern because it tends to be these locations where the greatest species diversity and richest centres of endemism are to be found. Sadly, developing world conservation scientists have found it difficult to access an authoritative textbook, which is particularly ironic since it is these countries where the potential benefits of knowledge application are greatest. There is now an urgent need to educate the next generation of scientists in developing countries, so that they are in a better position to protect their natural resources.

Download or read book Life written by William K. Purves and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2001 with total page 1376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authoritative, thorough, and engaging, Life: The Science of Biology achieves an optimal balance of scholarship and teachability, never losing sight of either the science or the student. The first introductory text to present biological concepts through the research that revealed them, Life covers the full range of topics with an integrated experimental focus that flows naturally from the narrative. This approach helps to bring the drama of classic and cutting-edge research to the classroom - but always in the context of reinforcing core ideas and the innovative scientific thinking behind them. Students will experience biology not just as a litany of facts or a highlight reel of experiments, but as a rich, coherent discipline.

Download or read book Treatise on Zoology Anatomy Taxonomy Biology The Crustacea Volume 4 Part B written by J.C. von Vaupel Klein and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This part B of the fourth volume of The Crustacea contains chapters on: ● Crustaceans in the Biosphere ● Crustaceans and Mankind ● Crustaceans in Art ● Orders Lophogastrida, Stygiomysida, and Mysida [collectively known as Mysidacea] As evident from the number 4B tagged to this volume, vol. 4 as originally planned had to be split into two fascicles, 4A and 4B, simply because of the numbers of pages covered by the various contributions meant for volume 4. The chapters in this book grew out of those in the French edition volumes 7(II) and 7(III)(A). Overall, this constitutes the seventh tome published in this English series, viz., preceded by volumes 1 (2004), 2 (2006), 9A (2010), 9B (2012), 3 (2012), and 4A (2013). Readers/users should note that from vol. 4A onward we have had to abandon publishing the chapters in the serial sequence as originally envisaged by the late Prof. J. Forest, because the various contributions, i.e., both the updates and the entirely new chapters, have become available in a more or less random order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Versión en castellano del libro "Biology Made Real". Traducido por IA y editado por el autor. Introducción Siempre me ha motivado entender qué es la biología para nosotros como humanos. Qué significa entender la biología y cómo puedo hacer que tenga sentido para mis alumnos. He leído todo lo que he podido y he reflexionado, he discutido y escuchado, he enseñado y observado. Este libro trata de compartir lo que he aprendido con mis clases de biología de secundaria. «No sólo es probable que este libro cambie tu forma de enseñar biología, sino también tu percepción de ti mismo dentro del mundo vivo.» —Dr. Alex Sinclair, Instituto de Educación, Universidad de St Mary, Twickenham. Lo que encontrarás: —Una visión de una educación de biología integrada y significativa. —Un marco de enseñanza que se centra en la construcción de significado y reduce el tiempo de planificación. —Formas de crear una narrativa que unifica temas dispares. —Una taxonomía de la comprensión que permite la resolución de problemas con una carga de trabajo mínima. —Ejemplos probados en el aula. Capítulo 1: La biología significativa se refiere principalmente a los organismos: Este capítulo sienta las bases de todo el libro. Reúne muchos hilos para definir lo que considero más significativo para los estudiantes de biología de secundaria. Y, por tanto, lo que podemos hacer al respecto a la hora de diseñar nuestras clases y planes de estudio y de pensar en cómo progresan los estudiantes en su formación en biología. La planificación de la construcción de significados ha aumentado enormemente el interés y la motivación por aprender en mi clase. Capítulos 2 y 3: La construcción de significado mediante la teoría de la variación: A continuación presento una poderosa teoría pedagógica, relativamente desconocida y a menudo mal entendida. La teoría de la variación. En estos capítulos me propongo demostrar lo útil que es—y lo fácil que resulta utilizarla—en el aula de biología de secundaria, con muchos ejemplos. Capítulo 4: Cómo integrar organismos, ecología y evolución: Ahora reúno los capítulos anteriores para presentar un nuevo marco de enseñanza para la construcción de significado que reduce el tiempo de planificación y se centra en la biología. Capítulo 5: Conceptos del organismo que unen un curso de biología: Aquí discuto dos conceptos que creo que pueden unificar todos los temas del plan de estudios. 1. Ver la biología a través de los sistemas termodinámicos y 2. Ver la biología a través de la evolución ecológica mediante el concepto de estrategias vitales. Expongo las razones y hablo de cómo he presentado estas ideas a los alumnos. Capítulo 6: Enseñar el pensamiento sistémico para ayudar a los alumnos a ver la interconexión: Muestro cómo los diagramas de existencias de flujo son muy útiles para el aula de biología y doy ejemplos. A continuación, presento una nueva taxonomía para entender los sistemas biológicos que permite la resolución de problemas en biología. Capítulo 7: Establecer una cultura de pensamiento: Este capítulo se centra en los cómos y los porqués de la integración de la taxonomía en los planes de estudio de biología. Doy ejemplos de cómo la utilizo y ejemplos de las respuestas de mis alumnos de cursos de secundaria. Capítulo 8: Navegar por el aula y la complejidad biológica: Este capítulo concluye el libro considerando la complejidad de nuestra asignatura y del aula.

Download or read book Evolution Education and the Rise of the Creationist Movement in Brazil written by Kristin Cook and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution Education and the Rise of the Creationist Movement in Brazil examines how larger societal forces such as religion, media, and politics have shaped Brazil’s educational landscape and impacted the teaching and learning of evolution within an increasingly polarized discourse in recent years. To this end, Alandeom W. Oliveira and Kristin Cook have assembled a number of educational scholars and practitioners, many of whom are based in Brazil, to provide up-close and in-depth accounts of classroom-based evolution instruction, teacher preparation programs, current educational policies, and commonly used school curricula. Contributors also present information on Brazilian teachers’ and students’ attitudes toward—and understanding of— evolution, emergent (mis)conceptions of evolution, and international comparisons of evolution acceptance and understanding in Brazil compared to other countries. Across the three sections of this book, readers see a nation navigating the complexity of multiple spheres of thought about evolution and its role in the K-12 and postsecondary curriculum. Suggesting the rise of an influential creationist movement in Brazil, this book illuminates the dynamic sociological processes at play in the educational sphere of Latin America in a globalized era that allows for rapid worldwide travel of competing ideologies. Scholars of Latin American studies, religion, education, sociology, and political science will find this book especially useful.

This book was released on 2012-12-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three aviculariine genera endemic to Brazil are revised. Typhochlaena C. L. Koch, 1850 is resurrected, including five species; Pachistopelma Pocock, 1901 includes two species; and Iridopelma Pocock, 1901, six species. Nine species are newly described: Typhochlaena amma sp. n., T. costae sp. n., T. curumim sp. n., T. paschoali sp. n., Pachistopelma bromelicola sp. n., Iridopelma katiae sp. n., I. marcoi sp. n., I. oliveirai sp. n. and I. vanini sp. n. Three new synonymies are established: Avicularia pulchra Mello-Leitão, 1933 and Avicularia recifiensis Struchen & Brändle, 1996 are junior synonyms of Pachistopelma rufonigrum Pocock, 1901 syn. n., and Avicularia palmicola Mello-Leitão, 1945 is a junior synonym of Iridopelma hirsutum Pocock, 1901 syn. n. Pachistopelma concolor Caporiacco, 1947 is transferred to Tapinauchenius Ausserer, 1871, making the new combination Tapinauchenius concolor (Caporiacco, 1947) comb. n. Lectotypes are newly designed for Pachistopelma rufonigrum Pocock, 1901 , Iridopelma hirsutum Pocock, 1901 and Pachistopelma concolor Caporiacco, 1947. Cladistic analyses using both equal and implied weights were carried out with a matrix comprising 62 characters and 38 terminal taxa. The chosen cladogram found with X-Pee-Wee and concavity 6 suggests they are monophyletic. All species are keyed and mapped and information on species habitat and area cladograms are presented. Discussion on biogeography and conservation is provided.
