This book was released on 2006 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro que el lector tiene en sus manos pretende estudiar y analizar la obra más importante que dentro del ámbito de las Ciencias Naturales -y de la Etnografía, Geografía e Historia- se ha escrito sobre Canarias en el siglo XIX: la Historia Natural de las Islas Canarias, del inglés Philip Barker Webb y del francés Sabino Berthelot, cuyo nombre españolizado obedece a sus más de cuarenta años de residencia en Tenerife, donde fue nombrado hijo adoptivo de Santa Cruz de Tenerife. La obra está compuesta de tres tomos en nueve volúmenes, a los que se añadió un Atlas independiente. Publicada entre 1835 y 1850 en París, está escrita originalmente en francés, salvo la mayor parte de la Phytographia Canariensis, redactada en latín. Además de los dos autores principales, colaboraron en su composición científicos de primera magnitud, que se ocuparon de desarrollar diversas partes de la zoología y de la botánica. Uno de los grandes atractivos de esta obra, que en verdad puede considerarse una enciclopedia, fue y sigue siendo la cantidad y la calidad de las ilustraciones que incluye: hablamos de más de cuatrocientas treinta láminas, entre grabados y litografías. Seguramente, todo el mundo ha visto alguna vez algunas de las imágenes de la Historia Natural, pero sin saber que pertenecían a tal obra; porque una de las riquezas que hacen de ella una obra vigente y todavía en uso son sus fabulosas imágenes, realizadas por los dibujantes y grabadores más prestigiosos de la época, mil veces utilizadas para ilustrar las descripciones de la naturaleza canaria y sus incomparables paisajes, así como las de la antigua sociedad tradicional con su arquitectura, sus cultivos, sus tipos humanos y su indumentaria y tantas otras cosas ya perdidas y a veces añoradas de la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Junto a ellas, las maravillosas ilustraciones de geografía, zoología o botánica -cientos de variedades de plantas canarias, animales de las más variadas especies o mapas descriptivos de las Islas- contribuyen, sin duda, a que unos textos de ciencia de la primera mitad del siglo XIX sigan teniendo interés, e incluso vigencia, en áreas como la cartografía, la botánica sistemática y la geobotánica, así como en ciertas ramas de la zoología canaria. La temática que abarca la Histoire Naturelle des lies Cañarles es muy amplia y desborda lo que se entendía tradicionalmente por Historia Natural -una denominación que ya entonces se empezaba a sustituir por la de Ciencias Naturales-, porque, además de abordar los tres reinos de la Naturaleza (es decir, el ámbito geológico, la botánica y la zoología), dedica parte de la obra a la geografía física y botánica, económica y humana, y a cuestiones de historia y etnografía de las Islas Canarias.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volcanic and oceanic nature of the Canary Islands, its rich plant biodiversity and high rate of endemism, as well as the relict character of some of its plant communities make it a territory of great biological interest. The main geographic, climatic, bioclimatic, biogeographic and floristic features of the Islands are shown and related to the distributional pattern of potential communities along an altitudinal gradient. Current vegetation units and their ecology are described and illustrated with numerous pictures. Potential vegetation units are summarized and comprehensive maps of the potential natural vegetation for each island are given. Human impact on the natural landscape, the occurrence of invasive plants, and the probable impact of climate change on the flora and vegetation are discussed. The conservation status of flora and vegetation are assessed. Four appendixes include a syntaxonomical scheme, a brief history of botanical studies and explorations in the Islands, ethnobotanical notes, and a list of selected literature.

Book excerpt: Concerns about global biodiversity are rising dramatically, yet we are lagging behind in the most basic prerequisite for its understanding and conservation: the inventory. Insect species may make up five or ten times the number of all other plant and animal species combined, and as such they represent one of the major challenges in biosystematic science. World Catalogue of Insects is an initiative aiming at compiling worldscale, authoritative catalogues of monophyletic insect taxa. We are therefore proud to launch this major series. Volumes will as a minimum contain standard nomenclatoral information on all names pertaining to the taxon treated, including type locality and distribution to the extent this is relevant. Additional information is optional, e. g., location, status and condition of types; biology; bibliographical information; pest status; vector status; etc. This volume three focuses on Dytiscidae (Coleoptera).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When asked by the General Editor to prepare a book-length treatment concerning the nature of the Canary Islands, our aims were rather ambitious. A general monograph was to be written, embracing all the disciplines of natural history applicable to these islands, and over twenty scientists were approached for contributions. However scientists are 'time machines' ; our proposed list of contents has changed a good many times. Cooporation of other authors was gained and, finally, a fairly rounded project appeared revealing different and lesser known aspects of Canary Island Nature. Since Centuries the Canary Islands have attracted the attention of travellers. Earliest reports may be traced back some two thousand years but real scientific investigation began about 1800, the time of Alexander von Humboldt and his visit to the islands; older reports are scarce, sometimes rather confusing because of geographic inaccuracies. But the 19th Century will remain as the century of fundamental explorations, connected with names such as Leopold von Buch, F. C. MacGregor, Sabin Berthelot, Philip Barker Webb, J. Viera y Clavijo, F. von Fritsch, C. Bolle, D. H. Christ, O. Simony, G. Hartung, H. Mayer etc. , all familiar and intimately connected with our knowledge of the natural history of the archipelago. Even the much criticised Ernst Haeckel has provided us with lively descriptions of his visit to one of the 'Fortunate Islands'. The 20th Century brought new interest, new fields to be explored, and new expeditions to the islands.
