Download or read book Life in Ponds and Streams Classic Reprint written by William Furneaux and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in Ponds and Streams To a lover of Nature, all forms of life are interesting. But so numerous and varied are those forms that few students are able to give much time to the pursuit of more than one or two branches of Natural History. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that most young naturalists devote their energies to the study of the more conspicuous and attractive creatures of Earth. Thus it comes to pass that a certain few of the orders of Insects have quite an army of enthusiastic students, that the beautifully marked and exquisitely formed shells of our marine Molluscs are eagerly sought after, and that our feathered friends and their eggs are well known and prized by many lovers of wild country life while the study of the varied living forms inhabiting ponds and streams, most of which are not to be obtained without more or less careful searching for them in their haunts, has but comparatively few devotees. But there is no reason whatever why the study of fresh water life should not be quite as fascinating and instructive to even the youngest naturalist as that of the more popular branches we have specified above, and the chief reason why the weedy pond and the winding stream are so generally neglected is probably that our young naturalists have not had their attention sufficiently directed to the world of interest that awaits them if they will pursue their investiga tions of aquatic life with the same ardour that the collecting of butter ies or birds' eggs generally excites.

Book excerpt: Foreword: Minnows and frogs and brown water beetles, scurrying to cover as we approach the shore of a still clear pond, show us that the water has some very lively inhabitants. The swim and dive and paddle in the open until we come, and then they hide from us distrustfully. Theirs is another world than ours. In that world there are strange living creatures in endless variety. There are big and little, swift and slow, strong and weak, graceful and ungainly: all are born to feed and grow and reproduce, to hunt and be hunted, to strive for a livlihood; and in so doing to fill a place in the household of nature. No one who has lived by clear waters can have failed to see something of their wonderful life: minnows on the shoals; caddis worms dragging their cumbersome portable houses over the brook bed; the young of mayflies clinging to the stones in the riffle, or the adult mayflies in their dancing nuptial flight in the air above the stream; and what could be more interesting? To make the knowledge of the whole range of life in ponds and streams a little more easy of access is a major purpose of this book. And with that knowledge will come appreciation, and a purpose to aid in keeping the waters free from pollution. Clean waters are always charming; and nothing is more sordid and unwholesome than polluted water. Here is a public service of no small moment. It is all in the interest of a better human enviornment; better for health, for recreation, for instruction, and for aesthetic pleasures. A book like this cannot fail to render good service since it tells the simple truth about aquatic creatures in an interesting way, illustrates them with good figures, and so enables the reader to know what they are like and where to go to find them.--James G. Needham, Cornell University, March, 1930.

Download or read book Pond Conservation in Europe written by Beat Oertli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ponds are an exceptional freshwater resource around the world and represent thirty percent of the global surface area of standing water. Furthermore, the millions of ponds which exist exhibit a particularly high biodiversity and have a high potential for ecosystem functions and services. Despite these impressive features, ponds face many threats from a variety of human activities and receive little or no protection under European and national legislation. Consequently, there is an urgent need to protect, consolidate and increase the pond resource in Europe. In order to achieve these objectives, the European Pond Conservation Network (EPCN) was launched 2004 in Geneva. Its aim is to promote the awareness, understanding and conservation of these small water bodies in the European landscape. This volume of “Developments in Hydrobiology” presents a selection of 31 papers presented during EPCN conferences held in 2006 in France (Toulouse) and in 2008 in Spain (Valencia). They represent a diverse collection of themes from across the continent and North Africa and present new and original insights into topics as wide ranging as pond biodiversity; human disturbance; landscape ecology; ecological assessment and monitoring; practical management measures; ecological restoration; hydrology and climate change; invasive species and threatened species.
