Download or read book Hawaiian Plant Life written by Robert J. Gustafson and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawaiian Plant Life has been written with both the layperson and professional interested in Hawai‘i’s natural history and flora in mind. In addition to significant text describing landforms and vegetation, the evolution of Hawaiian flora, and the conservation of native species, the book includes almost 875 color photographs illustrating nearly two-thirds of native Hawaiian plant species as well as a concise description of each genus and species shown. The work can be used either as a stand-alone reference or as a companion to the two-volume Manual of the Flowering Plants of Hawai‘i. Learning more about threatened and endangered plants is essential to conserving them, and there is no more endangered flora in the world today than that of the Hawaiian Islands. Striking species complexes such as the silverswords and the remarkable lobeliads represent unique stories of adaptive radiation that make the Hawai‘i a living laboratory for evolution. Public appreciation for Hawaiian biodiversity requires outreach and education that will determine the future conservation of this rich heritage, and Hawaiian Plant Life has been designed to help fill that need.
Download or read book Paleoecological Research on Easter Island written by Valentí Rull and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-08-07 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paleocological Research on Easter Island: Insights on Settlement, Climate Changes, Deforestation and Cultural Shifts examines the area’s climatic and ecological history, a topic not usually addressed in other literature. The book provides a thorough and synthetic account of all paleoecological works developed to date, including the latest discoveries. Finally, it attempts to match paleoecological evidence with the results of other disciplines creating a multidisciplinary framework. This approach to the field is ideal for researchers, university professors and graduate students in a varied range of disciplines and subdisciplines, including ecology, paleoecology, paleoclimatology, biogeography, sedimentology, and paleontology. Users will find synthesized information on Easter Island from the last millennia that will help pave the way towards an integrated interdisciplinary vision of the island’s environmental-ecological-cultural system as a complex functional unit. Human and environmental deterministic views are avoided and the Easter Island enigmas are analyzed under a holistic perspective of continuous feedbacks and synergies among the different components of the system. Provides the first synthesis of the available paleoecological knowledge on Easter Island Furnishes clues on how to integrate paleoecological information with evidence from other disciplines Addresses the complexity of the environmental-ecological-cultural system by analyzing the interactions (feedbacks and synergies) among its components

Download or read book Diversity of Lichenology written by Arne Thell and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 100th anniversary volume of Bibliotheca Lichenologica, pays tribute to the diversity in lichenology. Multiple, cosmopolitan aspects of the research on lichens in its breadth are reflected in the large variety of subjects covered in 18 chapters by 37 authors from 13 countries. The chapters document recent developments in taxonomy, phytogenetic analyses, phylogenetic research, fl oristic studies and lichen ecology, and - again - a large number of newly described taxa, keys to the identifi cation of Usnea, and details of current analytical work. A personal review by Ingvar Kärnefelt of past and present contributors to lichenology. His biographical sketches provide a good measure of the multi-faceted nature of lichenology and of the expertise involved in its development, paying tribute to Bibliotheca Lichenologica's anniversary. The volume was carefully edited by three prominent and active members of the lichenological community, Arne Thell, University of Lund, Sweden, Mark R. D. Seaward, University of Bradford, United Kingdom, and Tassilo Feuerer, University of Hamburg, Germany.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revision of the genus Parmotrema (Ascomycotina: Parmeliaceae) in Papua New Guinea has shown it to comprise 50 species. Twelve species are new records for Papua New Guinea and six are described as new to science: Parmotrema kurolawianum, P. malonprotocetraricum, P. menyamyaense, P. sipmanii, P. verrucatum and P. watutense. The new combination Parmotrema proeinsuetum (Hale) Louwhoff & Elix is made. Fourteen of the 50 species of Parmotrema are considered endemic to Papua New Guinea. A key and descriptions of the species are given, and the synonymy, chemistry, distribution, ecology and taxonomic affinities of each species discussed. In addition, three species of Rimelia and one of Canomaculina have been identified for Papua New Guinea, and these are also described.

Book excerpt: Lichenologische Nebenstunden (lichenological studies after hours) features twenty-seven peer reviewed contributions by 51 authors. The majority of papers have a taxonomic background, both classical and molecular, in accordance to Klaus Kalb's own research interests, covering a wide topical range. One paper seeks to delineate ecological groups of lichens on two species of trees of the Thailand rainforests. Furthermore, papers in this volume describe a number of new species nine of which are named in honour of Klaus Kalb.

The manual briefly summarizes the ecology, distribution, and frequency status of the province's foliose and squamulose lichens. Each genus account provides a common name, a short description, pertinent references, notes on the derivation of the common name, and notes on global status and distribution, taxonomy, chemistry, and/or similar genera. Each species account provides species and author citation, distribution maps, common names, habit, and lichen distribution in B.C.
