Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern zoological research [] aims to study the animal in its own dwelling place. Otto Zacharias, a German plankton specialist and former science journalist, made this claim in 1905. More than hundred years later, it might sound surprising. When we think of sites of animal research that symbolize modernity, the first places that come to mind are "not"to use Zacharias s examplethe parts of inland lakes favored by freshwater plankton. The period around 1900, after all, witnessed the rise of grand urban research institutes that housed industrial-type laboratories filled with mercury pumps, new-fangled microscopes, galvanometers, electric centrifuges, gas motors, and spectrometers. Yet Zacharias belonged to a group of zoologists who were establishing a novel way of studying nature in the field. They developed what ecologists today describe as place-based research. It focuses on complex systems of interacting organisms, usually through studies over long periods of time in a natural field context. This was a modern approach and, as such, it needed modern infrastructure: the field station. Beginning in the 1870s, a growing number of biological field stations were foundedfirst in Europe and later elsewhere around the world. Thousands of zoologists received their training and performed their research at these sites. By revealing the intricate activities that enabled them to perform science in the animal s dwelling place, Raf de Bont is the first to give this history of how life scientists were brought closer to living nature.

This volume documents annelid reproduction in the context of their phylogenetic relationships. It pre
Download or read book Pleistoannelida Sedentaria III and Errantia I written by Günter Purschke and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the third volume in a series of 4 volumes in the Handbook of Zoology series treating morphology, anatomy, reproduction, development, ecology, phylogeny, systematics and taxonomy of polychaetous Annelida. It is devoted to the remaining Sedentaria and the first branches of Errantia. These sedentary polychaetes are Terebellida and Arenicolida, all of which are tube-dwelling and deposit feeders. The tubes may be simple burrows stabilized by mucus or the tubes are highly sophisticated often really aesthetic structures build-up of sediment grains glued together by their secretion. Although the former possess anterior appendages used for collecting food particles, these are likely not modified palps rather than a new acquisition. Many of these species are adapted to occur within environments characterized by low oxygen supply and so many members of these taxa possess elaborated branchiae, usually positioned on a number of anterior body segments except for Maldanidae which look like bamboo sticks and thus earned their common name bamboo worms. Members of Arenicolida and Maldanida may occur in high abundance and as such they create biogenically graded sediment beds. The Errantia part starts with Myzostomida, a group of symbiotic animals associated with echinoderms which have been variously placed within the tree of life. As such they show numerous adaptations to this specific mode of life. The next group discussed within Errantia is Protodrilida, a taxon comprising four families of the former archiannelids which belong to the interstitial fauna. Most likely they evolved by miniaturization from larger ancestors. In contrast to typical errants they do not possess well-developed parapodia and antennae. This taxon is followed by Eunicida characterized by possession of a specific jaw apparatus situated ventrally in the foregut and associated with specific musculature. Also being a species rich group showing various feeding modes some of the smallest and the largest members belong to this taxon.

Download or read book Brown Seaweeds Phaeophyceae of Britain and Ireland written by Robert L. Fletcher and published by Pelagic Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 1310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brown Seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) of Britain and Ireland provides the first complete, up-to-date, detailed illustrated guide and keys to the nearly 200 species of brown algae present around the coasts of Britain and Ireland. It is the culmination of over 30 years of field and laboratory studies by the author. Following an exhaustive introduction that covers the biology and ecology of brown seaweeds, a checklist of species is set out, followed by clear and user-friendly keys to the genera. Particular attention is then paid to providing detailed illustrations, and the volume holds more than 300 compound plates of line drawings and photographs in its extensive taxonomic treatment. Comprehensive information is given on the geographical and seasonal distributions, synonymy, morphology, anatomy, cytology, reproduction, life histories, taxonomy, systematics and bibliographic material pertaining to each species. Notably, this flora offers a much fuller consideration of many of the lesser known, more cryptic microscopic brown algae than previously available. Further, the book also contains the results of much original research undertaken by the author. This will surely remain a standard reference work on brown seaweeds for many years to come – an indispensable research tool and field guide for phycologists and students throughout the North Atlantic region and beyond.
Download or read book The Correspondence of Charles Darwin Volume 29 1881 written by Charles Darwin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-07 with total page 1242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is part of the definitive edition of letters written by and to Charles Darwin, the most celebrated naturalist of the nineteenth century. Notes and appendixes put these fascinating and wide-ranging letters in context, making the letters accessible to both scholars and general readers. Darwin depended on correspondence to collect data from all over the world, and to discuss his emerging ideas with scientific colleagues, many of whom he never met in person. The letters are published chronologically. In 1881, Darwin published his final book, The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms. He reflected on reactions to his previous book, The Power of Movement in Plants, and worked on two papers for the Linnean Society on the action of carbonate of ammonia on plants. In this year, Darwin's elder brother, Erasmus, died, and a second grandchild, also named Erasmus, was born.
Download or read book Naples 1925 written by Martin Mittelmeier and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2024-11-12 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of how the volcanic landscape surrounding Naples influenced a crucial moment in twentieth-century intellectual history In the 1920s, the Gulf of Naples was a magnet for European intellectuals in search of places as yet untouched by modernity. Among the revolutionaries, artists, and thinkers drawn to Naples were numerous scholars at a formative stage in their journeys: Walter Benjamin, Siegfried Kracauer, Alfred Sohn‑Rethel, Asja Lacis, Theodor W. Adorno, and many others. While all were indelibly shaped by the volcanic Neapolitan landscape, it was Benjamin who first probed the relationship between the porous landscape and the local culture. But Adorno went further, transforming his surroundings into a radical new philosophy—one that became a turning point in the modern history of the discipline. In this ingenious book, Martin Mittelmeier reveals the Gulf of Naples as the true birthplace of the Frankfurt School. From the majestic crater rim of Mount Vesuvius to the soft volcanic rock that Neapolitans used to build their city, Mittelmeier follows Adorno’s and his fellow thinkers’ footsteps through the cities along the gulf, demonstrating how their observations and encounters surface again and again in their writings for decades to come, and serve as the structuring principle of Critical Theory.
