Download or read book Biospeleology written by A. Vandel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biospeleology: The Biology of Cavernicolous Animals discusses the fundamental concepts in understanding the biological make up of cave-dwelling animals. The title aims to relate the subterranean world as a habitat for organisms. The first part of the text tackles basic concerns, such as the concept of the subterranean world and cavernicoles, along with the history and research concerns in biospeleology. Next, the selection enumerates the subterranean flora and fauna, along with the geographical distribution and ecology of cavernicoles. The next two parts detail the physiology and behavior of cavernicoles, while the last part tackles the evolution of cavarnicoles. The book will be of great interest to zoologists, biologists, and ecologists who wish to gain a better understanding of the biological properties of subterranean organisms.

Download or read book The Karst Landscape of Yucatan written by William Anderson Finch and published by National Academies. This book was released on 1965 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study provides a descriptive regional analysis of the physical aspects of Yucatan's karst landscape. Two themes dominate this description of Yucatan's tropical lowland karst landscape. First, it is established that different types of karst land forms characterize individual segments of the horizontal limestone which underlies Yucatan. Secondly, it is established that distinctive micro-environments characterize the individual types of karst land forms. Such micro-environments result when a karst land form produced varying hydrologic, soil, and micro-climate conditions. Distinctive floristic communities are associated with these micro-environments. The areal distribution of the different types of karst land forms yields a pattern which provides the regional framework used in this study. Three regions occur in Yucatan's karst landscape. Each region possesses a distinctive karst land form assemblage. Appendices include a brief survey of karst literature, representative climatic data for Yucatan, and a selected glossary of Maya and Spanish land scape terminology.

Download or read book Textbook of Limnology written by Gerald A. Cole and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interdisciplinary nature of limnology requires lucid and well-integrated coverage of biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and resource management. Paul Weihe skillfully accomplishes this objective in his revision of Gerald Cole’s classic limnology text. This long-awaited revision introduces concepts in straightforward terms, replete with detailed examples, elegant illustrations, and up-to-date, well-researched documentation. Outstanding features of the fifth edition include: • A global outlook with examples from every continent • Discussions of the impact of environmental challenges (e.g., climate change, eutrophication, river regulation) with case studies of real-world examples • A chapter devoted to wetlands • A thorough examination of biogeochemistry, including recent anthropogenic alteration and a reconsidered understanding of stoichiometric relationships • Expanded treatment of hydrology, utilizing empirical approaches to discharge determination and effects of land-use changes • A reorganized presentation of biodiversity, explicitly correlating profiles of biota with community ecology and ecosystem function • Updated taxonomy with a description of the new metagenomic approach, nomenclature strictly adhering to the intergovernmental Integrated Taxonomic Information System
Download or read book Culicipedia written by Ralph E Harbach and published by CABI. This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique volume is a comprehensive compilation of all scientific names introduced at all levels of classification within the Culicipedia family since the official start of zoological nomenclature. The work is largely a lexicon aimed at being historical and informative as well as nomenclatural and bibliographic. Unlike catalogues, it contains sections devoted separately to the groups of names regulated by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the species, genus and family groups, as well as sections concerned with names derived from personal and geographical names and other sources. In addition to insights into the history of mosquito classification, attention given to the formation, Latinization and derivation of names makes the work a crucial contribution to mosquito science
