Download or read book Biology of the Land Crabs written by Warren W. Burggren and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-04-29 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in land crabs has burgeoned as biologists have increasingly focused on the evolution of terrestriality. Before the publication of this volume in 1988, there had been no single comprehensive source of information to serve biologists interested in the diverse aspects of terrestrial decapod crustacean. Biology of the Land Crabs was the first synthesis of recent and long-established findings on brachyuran and anomuran crustaceans that have evolved varying degrees of adaptation for life on land. Chapters by leading researchers take a coordinated evolutionary and comparative approach to systematics and evolution, ecology, behaviour, reproduction, growth and molting, ion and water balance, respiration and circulation, and energetics and locomotion. Each discusses how terrestrial species have become adapted from ancestral freshwater or marine forms. With its extensive bibliography and comprehensive index, including the natural history of nearly eighty species of brachyuran and anomuran crabs, Biology of the Land Crabs will continue to be an invaluable reference for researchers and advanced students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book relates some fundamental aspects of biological oceanography and freshwater biology to global aspects of the future protein nutrition of man and to our understanding of the processes of evolution. Seasonal and other factors controlling organic productivity in temperate oceans are outlined, and more unusual trophic features are considered. Methods for future exploitation of the oceans--particularly through sea-farming--are discussed and critically assessed. The finite nature of the oceans' resources is stressed. Energetics of food chains, the dynamics of exploited fish stocks, and the biogeochemistry of organic cycles are clearly explained and examined.--

Download or read book Fisheries Ecology written by Paul Hart and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1983-04-30 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author spent much of 1989 and 1990 living within the Muscovite community and came into contact with people at all levels, from pimps to philosophers. He provides a portrait of a society which is struggling to survive the traumas and changes of the Gorbachev years. In some ways more medieval and Oriental than modern and Western, Moscow is a city in which tales of flying saucers and masonic conspiracies co-exist with endless queues, corruption, anti-semitism and a black market in guns. Durden-Smith also discovered in Moscow an intellectual passion and energy which puts most Western capitals to shame and which makes Moscow not only one of the most important, but also one of the most complex, contradictory and fascinating cities on earth.

Download or read book Early Life History and Recruitment in Fish Populations written by R.C. Chambers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-07-31 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the processes influencing recruitment to an adult fish population or entry into a fishery occur very early in life. The variations in life histories and behaviours of young fish and the selective processes operating on this variation ultimately determine the identities and abundance of survivors. This important volume brings together contributions from many of the world's leading researchers from the field of fish ecology. The book focuses on three major themes of pressing importance in the analysis of the role that the early life history of fishes plays in the number and quality of recruits: the selective processes at play in their early life history; the contributions of early life history to the understanding of recruitment.
