Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Life in Deserts: A Study of the Fauna in Relation to the Environment Circumstances over which I had no control induced me to study the conditions of life in Lower Mesopotamia and in North-West Persia for more than two years. I had previously seen desert life in spring-time during a short visit to Algeria, and more recently I have lived in Jerusalem, a city which is not indeed in the desert, but within easy reach of the deserts of Southern Palestine and of the lower end of the Jordan depression. I have endeavoured to summarize my own observations and to elucidate their meaning by comparison with what has been observed in other deserts. The desert is an environment unspoilt by the hand of man, so that one can more clearly observe the interaction of plant and animal upon each other, and the dependence of the living creatures upon climate and other physical conditions. This " œcological " study will, I hope, prove interesting to many who delight in natural history, but who have never had an opportunity to make themselves acquainted with the more formal aspects of Zoology.

Download or read book Behavioural Adaptations of Desert Animals written by Giovanni Costa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a brief survey of biotopic and vegetational features and an account of the main groups of desert animals, the most unusual patterns of the behaviour of the xerophilous fauna are examined. The importance of the thermohygric regulation and self-protective and locomotor mechanisms to the survival of arid-adapted animals is emphasized and various adaptations in the alimentary, reproductive and social spheres are analyzed. The clear and fluent treatment will awaken the interest of the reading public, from the amateur naturalists to research scientists.

Download or read book Ecology of Desert Organisms written by Gideon Louw and published by Longman Publishing Group. This book was released on 1982 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book the authors consider the ecology of desert organisms. They have illustrated the principles involved with a selection of interesting examples from a wide body of research and from their own experience. In their study they have given equal emphasis to physiological ecology and population ecology. They have looked both at the way organisms avoid the extremes of the desert environment and at adaptations in their morphology, physiology and behaviour which make them better able to tolerate the unfavourable conditions. Reproduction and the dynamics, structure and evolution of desert communities are also discussed in detail, and in the concluding chapter the authors consider the increasingly important role of man in shaping the desert environment. The book provides a broad synthesis of the major principles of ecology, and with its balance between the botanical and zoological aspects of the subject, it will be of value to life scientists in general. Students wishing to broaden their knowledge of ecology as well as the reader interested in desert biology will find here a wealth of fascinating material in a clear and concise form" -- Back cover
