This book was released on 2007-06-04 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Antarctic provides a suite of scenarios useful for investigating the range of climate change effects on terrestrial and limnetic biota. The purpose of the book is to provide, based on the most up to date knowledge, a synthesis of the likely effects of climate change on Antarctic terrestrial and limnetic ecosystems and, thereby, to contribute to their management and conservation, based on the information.
Download or read book Antarctic Ecosystems written by Alex D. Rogers and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its discovery Antarctica has held a deep fascination for biologists. Extreme environmental conditions, seasonality and isolation have lead to some of the most striking examples of natural selection and adaptation on Earth. Paradoxically, some of these adaptations may pose constraints on the ability of the Antarctic biota to respond to climate change. Parts of Antarctica are showing some of the largest changes in temperature and other environmental conditions in the world. In this volume, published in association with the Royal Society, leading polar scientists present a synthesis of the latest research on the biological systems in Antarctica, covering organisms from microbes to vertebrate higher predators. This book comes at a time when new technologies and approaches allow the implications of climate change and other direct human impacts on Antarctica to be viewed at a range of scales; across entire regions, whole ecosystems and down to the level of species and variation within their genomes. Chapters address both Antarctic terrestrial and marine ecosystems, and the scientific and management challenges of the future are explored.

Download or read book Insect Conservation and Islands written by Tim R. New and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-06-19 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of original papers and reviews dealing with the peculiarities of island insects and their conservation in many parts of the world. Contributions to this special issue of Journal of Insect Conservation range from biogeographical analyses and ecological features of island insects and their evolution to the variety of concerns for their wellbeing, and practical conservation through a variety of, sometimes novel, approaches. They provide a valuable and up-to-date resource for entomologists and conservation practitioners.
Download or read book Insect Physiological Ecology written by Steven Chown and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insects exhibit incredible physiological diversity, making them ideal model organisms for the purpose of this book. The authors draw together the central issues in physiology (nutrition, water balance, temperature, etc.), treating each in sufficient detail to give researchers a broad update in summary form, as well as senior students a feel for current work in the field. In addition, they examine patterns in physiological variation, and go on to explore the mechanisms underlying this variation as well as the ecological and evolutionary consequences.

Download or read book Fingerprints of Climate Change written by G.-R. Walther and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-09 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years an increasing number of studies have been published reporting observations of adapted behaviour and shifting species ranges of plant and animal species due to recent climate warming. Are these `fingerprints' of climate change? An international conference was organised to bring together scientists from different continents with different expertise but sharing the same issue of climate change impact studies. Ecologists, zoologists, and botanists exchanged and discussed the findings from their individual field of research. The present book is an international collection of biological signs of recent climate warming, neither based only on computer models nor on prediction for the future, but mainly on actually occurring changes in the biosphere such as adapted behaviour or shifts in the ranges of species. `Fingerprints' of Climate Change presents ecological evidence that organisms are responding to recent global warming. The observed changes may foreshadow the types of impacts likely to become more frequent and widespread with continued warming.

Download or read book Species Management written by Scottish Natural Heritage (Agency) and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the latest book in the Natural Heritage of Scotland series from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The book contains the papers read at SNH's 2008 conference on the subject and provides the reader with valuable, high quality, up-to-date information and research on the subject, interspersed with stunning full colour images. The long-term aim for all species management is for thriving and self-sustaining, self-regulating populations of native species throughout their natural ranges. The challenge is to achieve this in the face of increasing pressures from developments, exploitation, habitat loss and climate change.This book explores the challenges and solutions to species management for species conservation, the control of invasive non-native species, resolving conflicts of interest between native species, and the sustainable use of species, with contributions from a range of international experts including scientists, conservationists and managers.
