Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biology of the Sea-Shore Hitherto, the authors of works dealing with the sea-shore have confined themselves almost entirely to describing and classifying the different forms of life occurring between tidemarks. The main idea underlying the present work, on the other hand, is to treat the plants and animals inhabiting the sea-shore from the ecological standpoint: to show, that is, how they interact and, in particular, to demonstrate the influence of the environment upon their structure, functions, habits and general reactions. A knowledge of the external appearance and chief structural features of the commoner species is taken for granted, and the book is addressed more particularly to the serious student of biology. But while, on the one hand, no attempt has been made to shun technicalities, on the other, care has been exercised that they should not be multiplied unnecessarily. Consequently, there should be nothing in the mode of treatment of the work which unfits it for use by the general reader. The value of the sea-shore as a biological training ground in general, and as a field for ecological study in particular, is generally recognised. With the exception of the shallow sea, no other area on the globe is so rich in numbers and variety of animal species. The fact that the sea-shore is one of the oldest haunts of life makes it particularly valuable for the study of evolutionary processes. Existence on the seashore implies the solution of a number of exceptionally interesting problems; in particular, the rhythmical and other ailed factors influencing shore organisms are of a nature which is unparalleled elsewhere.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biology of the Sea-Shore While the ecological aspect of the sea-shore has attracted a great number of research workers, from the point of view of teaching it would not seem to have received an equivalent amount of attention. It cannot be doubted that if a student confines himself, when on the sea-shore, purely to collecting and labelling species he is not obtaining a tithe of the benefit that his visit is capable of affording him. Consequently in planning this work, one of our chief ambitions has been to stimulate a wider interest on the part of the student by depicting for him something of the wonderfully vigorous and many-sided nature of the struggle for existence between tide-marks, and by drawing his attention to some of the innumerable problems connected with shore animals which still await investigation. We have had no wish to treat our subject exhaustively. For the most part we have confined ourselves to those British species with which we have first-hand acquaintance. To have foregone, however, all mention of foreign and, in particular, of tropical forms, would be to have excluded phenomena of the very greatest interest to our theme. It frequently happens, for instance, that a habit or an associa tion which is only slightly developed on our own shores has been brought to a high degree of specialisation elsewhere, especially in warmer seas. Consequently, we have not hesitated to give cases of this kind as large a measure of our attention as space allowed. For analogous reasons, while our main concern is with species occurring between tide marks, we have not infrequently extended our survey to include forms which more properly belong to the waters beyond the Laminarian zone.

Download or read book Why Study Biology by the Sea written by Karl S. Matlin and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since the middle of the 19th century, biologists have migrated to the seashore to study marine organisms as a way of understanding life. By the turn of the 20th century, such work was being done inside permanent seaside field stations. The Stazione Zoologica, in Naples, Italy (from 1874), and the Marine Biological Laboratory, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts (from 1888), attracted leaders in many biological fields, and helped establish biology as a modern science. Why Study Biology by the Sea? tells the story of these unique scientific institutions while attempting to answer the contemporary question, "Why study biology by the sea?" The volume examines the origins and value of these places via perspectives that range from cell biology to philosophy of science"--

Download or read book Ireland s Seashore written by Lucy Taylor and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ireland's seashores are famous for their spectacular beauty, ranging from exposed rocky headlands that receive the full power of the Atlantic to enclosed sea loughs and sheltered mudflats. Our northern latitude means that some Arctic species find a home here, but the warm currents that flow up from the Gulf of Mexico also make Irish shores habitable for species found in southern Europe, the Canaries and the Mediterranean. Providing habitats like no other, our coasts are teeming with plant and animal life. Whether you visit on a sunny summer day or for a wild walk in winter, there is always something interesting to see, either living on the shore or washed up from the sea . Beginning with clear background information on types of shore, tides, waves, coastal habitats and conservation, this highly accessible guide has everything you need to understand the wildlife on our coastline. A helpful identification guide uses simple questions (e.g. 'Does it have a shell?') to guide you to the correct section (e.g. 'Snails, mussels and their relatives'), where you will find an introduction to the species, followed by detailed entries on the most common shoreline inhabitants: Irish and Latin names, size, distribution and memorable nuggets of information (did you know banded wedge shells can leap if disturbed?). Written by qualified marine biologists with a passion for their subject, this is the ideal companion on any seashore ramble, whether you are a beginner or an experienced naturalist.
Download or read book The Biology of Rocky Shores written by Colin Little and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an introduction to the study of marine rocky shores in the temperate zone. It is designed to encourage students and others to couple enormous intellectual rewards with the pleasure of working in some of the last easily accessible but relatively unspoilt places, and can be used as abasis for field courses, project work, or for lectures. Centred in North-West Europe, but using examples from all over the world, the book begins by considering the physical factors that characterize the habitat - primarily tides and waves - and goes on to assess how they influence the organisms that live within it. It describes how the behaviour andphysiology of individuals belonging to the major groups - algae, grazers, suspension feeders, and predators - are affected by their habitat, how their communities are structured, and discusses theories of community organization. For field courses, it suggests experiments and observations that can becarried out on the shore or in nearby laboratories. Finally, problems of pollution and conservation are considered in the context of their effects upon biodiversity.

Download or read book The Beach Book written by Carl Heywood Hobbs and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waves and tides, wind and storms, sea-level rise and shore erosion: these are the forces that shape our beaches, and beach lovers of all stripes can benefit from learning more about how these coastal processes work. With animation and clarity, The Beach Book tells sunbathers why beaches widen and narrow, and helps boaters and anglers understand why tidal inlets migrate. It gives home buyers insight into erosion rates and provides natural-resource managers and interested citizens with rich information on beach nourishment and coastal-zone development. And for all of us concerned about the long-term health of our beaches, it outlines the latest scientific information on sea-level rise and introduces ways to combat not only the erosion of beaches but also the decline of other coastal habitats. The more we learn about coastline formation and maintenance, Carl Hobbs argues, the better we can appreciate and cultivate our shores. Informed by the latest research and infused with a passion for its subject, The Beach Book provides a wide-ranging introduction to the shore, and all of us who love the beach and its associated environments will find it timely and useful.
