Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of the series comprises the report to a task force of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) by a Canadian research group. The 29 papers include demographic and population studies, status reports, descriptions of methods, and studies or reviews of causes of amphibian declines. Among the suspected causes are pesticides, global change, ultraviolet radiation, and disease. An appendix describes the status of all 47 species of Canadian amphibians and includes photographs of most. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Declines in Canadian Amphibian Populations

Download or read book Declines in Canadian Amphibian Populations written by Christine Annette Bishop and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1991, a workshop was held to examine the data related to declines in Canadian amphibian populations and associated causes and, in particular, to develop a protocol to address the issue. Participants were invited to present reports on the current status of knowledge on amphibians in Canada, particularly species that appear to be threatened. Summaries of this information are presented in this report, along with the factors that may be contributing to fluctuations in amphibian populations. Methodologies and tribulations involved in accurately assessing amphibian population size and recruitment are given. A framework for environmental monitoring was presented and the data needed, both intensive and extensive, was discussed.

Book Extinction in Our Times

    Book Details:
  • Author : James P. Collins
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2009-07-07
  • ISBN : 0199717885
  • Pages : 296 pages

Download or read book Extinction in Our Times written by James P. Collins and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-07 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 350 million years, thousands of species of amphibians have lived on earth, but since the 1990s they have been disappearing at an alarming rate, in many cases quite suddenly and mysteriously. What is causing these extinctions? What role do human actions play in them? What do they tell us about the overall state of biodiversity on the planet? In Extinction in Our Times, James Collins and Martha Crump explore these pressing questions and many others as they document the first modern extinction event across an entire vertebrate class, using global examples that range from the Sierra Nevada of California to the rainforests of Costa Rica and the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. Joining scientific rigor and vivid storytelling, this book is the first to use amphibian decline as a lens through which to see more clearly the larger story of climate change, conservation of biodiversity, and a host of profoundly important ecological, evolutionary, ethical, philosophical, and sociological issues.

Book Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Tropical Forest Ecosystems

Download or read book Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Tropical Forest Ecosystems written by Adam Markham and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change represents one of the most alarming long-term threats to ecosystems the world over. This new collection of papers provides, for the first time, an overview of the potentially serious impact that climate change may have on tropical forests. The authors, a multi-disciplinary group of leading experts in climatology, forestry, ecology and conservation biology, present a state-of-knowledge snapshot of how tropical forests are likely to react to the changes being wrought on our planet's atmosphere and climate. Tropical forests represent extraordinary harbours for biological diversity, and yet as deforestation and degradation continue apace, they are under greater pressure from human impacts than ever before. Climate change adds yet another threat to these valuable ecosystems, and this volume demonstrates just how significant a problem this may really be. The authors identify certain types of forest, including tropical montane cloud forest that may be particularly vulnerable. They also show the strong likelihood of global warming aggravating problems in already fragmented forest areas.
