Download or read book Quick Flora Mallorca written by Horst Mehlhorn and published by tredition. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book enables plant lovers to easily and quickly identify over 1,400 wildflowers and many other plants present on Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza as well as smaller islands of the Balearic Islands. Using a newly developed key, a simple table enables you to identify the page where an unknown plant can be identified without even opening the book. Within the book, the species can then be identified with only a few subsequent steps. The criteria for identification are chosen so that not only scientists but also users without botanical expertise can use the book. This is supported by more than 200 colour photographs that also give a good overview of the diversity of plants that can be found on the islands. Short descriptions of all species provide additional information about typical habitats where the plants can be found and the time of year when the plants are in flower. The small, compact format permits it to be taken along even on longer walks. This is even easier if used as an ebook which includes a multitude of hyperlinks for quick navigation.

Download or read book The Top 50 Mediterranean Island Plants written by Bertrand de Montmollin and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2005 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flora of the Mediterranean islands includes many rare and localized species unique to the islands. Some of these are particularly threatened with extinction due to various pressures caused by people and their activities in Mediterranean ecosystems. It includes 50 descriptive sheets of species which are especially threatened, based on the IUCN Red List criteria. Each sheet gives a description of the species with illustrations and maps, emphasizing the threats to the species, existing conservation measures and additional measures needed for their conservation. Aimed at the layman, the text is easily accessible to the non-botanist.

Download or read book Handbook of Liverworts and Hornworts of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands written by Creu Casas and published by Institut d'Estudis Catalans. This book was released on 2009 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is concerned with liverworts and hornworts of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. Biogeographically it covers the Mediterranean and Eurosiberian regions. This handbook comprises identification keys to generic and specific level with corresponding illustrations. Each genus includes a short morphological description referring only to the species that appear in the present work. In monospecific genera the species name follows the description; if plurispecific a key to species is given. We recognised 286 species, which represent 68% of the European hepatic flora.

Download or read book Ecology and Evolution of Plant Herbivore Interactions on Islands written by Xoaquín Moreira and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory and early empirical work posed that herbivore pressure should be lower on islands than on the mainland owing to lower herbivore abundance and diversity in insular systems. Consequently, plant taxa found on islands are expected to be less protected or even to have lost their defences completely. While early observational studies supported the prediction of lower herbivory and plant defences on islands, recent island-mainland comparisons have yielded mixed results, with some studies finding no differences between islands and mainlands or, surprisingly, higher herbivory and plant defences on islands. In this book, the authors aim to re-assess current theory and initiate a new generation of work on insularity effects on plant-herbivore interactions. This book aims to fill the research gaps by integrating the research that has been done to date and by compiling and summarising new research on insularity effects on plant-herbivore interactions. It provides a critical examination of the patterns in light of classical theory and identifies potential mechanisms or underlying processes. It also aims to raise new questions that will form the basis for a revised and more robust research programme.
