This book was released on with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro contiene información del gran grupo de depredadores marinos denominado como «tiburones», revisados a nivel general, buscando mostrar su forma de vida, la anatomía, sus órganos sensoriales y, por ende, entender por qué han alcanzado la cúspide de la depredación marina de todos los tiempos, estudiando los diversos tiburones, desde el Devónico hasta el día de hoy. Por otra parte, este trabajo desea dar a conocer la fauna más espectacular existente en nuestro territorio, en especial los de la Formación Bahía Inglesa, como: el ave más grande del mundo, con ocho metros de ala a ala, Pelagornis chilensis; un tiburón del tamaño de un vagón de tren, Carcharocles megalodon; una ballena asesina, con dientes de más de cuarenta centímetros de largo, Leviathan melvillei; entre otros mamíferos marinos y aves, realizando una revisión de la fauna fósil de los tiburones en Chile. Daremos un vistazo a un extraño grupo de mamíferos costeros de hábitos acuáticos dentro del grupo de los perezosos, los Thalassocnus; a un singular delfín, Odobenocetops, dotado de largos «colmillos»; y a un sirenio, todos conviviendo en un ecosistema único. Este libro, sin duda, será una guía para los estudiantes y futuros paleontólogos de nuestro país.

This book was released on 2007-10-17 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coral reefs declined worldwide during the 1980s and 1990s, making them perhaps the most endangered marine ecosystem on Earth. This realization spurred John W. Tunnell Jr. and others to write a comprehensive book that would raise awareness of coral reefs and their plight. Tunnell and coeditors Ernesto A. Chávez and Kim Withers present an integrated and broad-ranging synthesis, while Mexican and U.S. experts assess the current state of these fragile systems and offer a framework for their restoration. Beginning with a history of the research done in this region, Coral Reefs of the Southern Gulf of Mexico covers the geography, geology, oceanography, ecology, and biodiversity of the thirty-eight “emergent” or platform-type coral reefs in the southern Gulf. The editors include chapters on the biota—from algae to fish—followed by a look at environmental impacts, both natural (such as hurricanes and red tides) and human (such as ship groundings and dredging). The book closes with a discussion of conservation issues, which is both descriptive and prescriptive in its assessment of what has been done and what should be done to protect and manage these vital ecosystems.

Download or read book A Monograph of the British Fossil Corals written by P. Martin Duncan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-14 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Monograph of the British Fossil Corals: Part I. Introduction; Corals From the Tertiary Formations Twelve years have elapsed since MM. Milne-Edwards and Jules Haime completed their great Monograph of the British Fossil Corals' for the Palæontographical Society. During this period Geology and Palæontology have been very carefully studied, with the aid of all the accessories of modern scientific research. Many strata which had been considered almost unfossiliferous have been discovered to contain both known and unknown species, and those beds which yielded the specimens so admirably described and figured by the great French Zoophytologists have been successfully searched for others. The interest in the study of the Madreporaeia has been greatly increased since the publication of the "Introduction" in the 'Monograph of the British Fossil Corals,' for the list and the description of the genera which it contained facilitated the diagnosis of species. In 1857 the authors of that "Introduction" commenced a work which has remained the best and, in fact, the only text-book for the student of recent and fossil Corals. The 'Histoire Naturelle des Coralliaires' was completed in 1860, by Milne-Edwards, after the death of his able and amiable colleague, M. J. Haime. The anatomy, physiology, and classification of the Zoantharia are admirably given in this work, and the classification is, with slight modifications, adopted by all Zoophytologists. The distinguished authors modified many of their genera and introduced others, consequently the "Introduction" in the First Part of the British Fossil Corals' is incomplete and behind the day.

Download or read book Mediterranean Cold Water Corals Past Present and Future written by Covadonga Orejas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we know about Mediterranean Cold (Deep)-Water coral ecosystems? In this book, specialists offer answers and insights with a series of chapters and short papers about the paleoecology, biology, physiology and ecology of the corals and other organisms that comprise these ecosystems. Structured on a temporal axis—Past, Present and Future—the reviews and selected study cases cover the cold and deep coral habitats known to date in the Mediterranean Basin. This book illustrates and explains the deep Mediterranean coral habitats that might have originated similar thriving ecosystems in today’s Atlantic Ocean.
Download or read book Urumaco and Venezuelan Paleontology written by Marcelo R. Sánchez-Villagra and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urumaco and Venezuelan Paleontology offers a synthesis of the paleontological record of Venezuela, including new discoveries on stratigraphy, paleobotany, fossil invertebrates, and vertebrates. Besides providing a critical summary of the record of decapods, fishes, crocodiles, turtles, rodents, armadillos, and ungulates, several chapters introduce new information on the distribution and paleobiology of groups not previously studied in this part of the world. Given its position in the northern neotropics, close to the Panamanian land bridge, Venezuela is a key location for understanding faunal exchanges between the Americas in the recent geological past. The book reviews the recent paleobotanical and vertebrate fossil record of the region, provides an understanding of Pleistocene climatic change and biogeography for the last few thousand years, and integrates new information with summaries of Spanish language works on Venezuelan geology and paleontology.
