Download or read book Amazonian Arachnida and Myriapoda written by Joachim Adis and published by . This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An "Identification Manual" on the Amazonian Entomofauna for beginners and non-specialists has been demanded for many years. Most taxonomic literature on Neotropical Arachnida and Myriapoda is strictly descriptive, keys in translated and accepted textbooks are restricted to the higher taxa and first introductions to Amazonian arthropods refer to specific sampling sites and are mainly devoted to insects. And the other hand, taxonomical knowledge on Amazonian Arthropoda was much improved due to investigations for the last two decades, cooperatively between the National Institute for Amazonian Research and the Tropical Ecology Working Group at the Max-Planck-Institute for Limnology in Ploen/Germany

Download or read book The Central Amazon Floodplain written by Wolfgang J. Junk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floodplains are ecosystems which are driven by periodic inundation and oscillation between terrestrial and aquatic phases. An understanding of such pulsing systems is only possible by studying both phases and linking the results into an integrated overview. This book presents the results of a 15-year study of the structure and function of one of the largest tropical floodplains, the Amazon River floodplain. It covers qualitative aspects, e.g., adaptations of aquatic and terrestrial organisms to the flood pulse as well as quantitative aspects, e.g., studies of biomass, primary production, decomposition, and nutrient cycles. The authors interpret their findings and the most important data from other studies under an integrating scientific concept, the Flood Pulse Concept.

Download or read book The Biology of Millipedes written by Klaus Rohde and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1992 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millipedes are common components of the leaf-litter fauna of most terrestrial environments. The Biology of Millipedes is the first single-volume review of this important group and covers their ecology, behaviour, physiology, and evolution. This book is essential reading for terrestrialecologists, zoologists, and students taking courses in invertebrate biology. Introductory chapters consider millipede taxonomy and phylogeny, basic anatomy, locomotion, and ecomorphology. Later chapters review feeding and digestion, metabolism, nerves, and neurosecretion, together with all aspects of millipedes in decomposition processes, and their role as pests. Theauthors provide an extremely comprehensive bibliography of research papers and literature.

Download or read book Spiders of Panama written by Nentwig and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: in collaboration with Bruce Cutler and Stefan Heimer The available information, personal observations, and study of one facet of the beauties of the tropical rain forest of Panama is gathered into a much needed volume which includes the physical, biological, and spider environment of Panama. The complete list of known Panama spiders with literature references and a key to the families and most genera provides the user with an up-to-date guide to this fauna. With over 350 illustrations, numerous charts, graphs, and tables, the coverage of this volume goes far beyond the geographical boundary of the study, making it useful to all students of spiders.

Download or read book The Millipedes Diplopoda of the Asian Part of Russia written by Elena V. Mikhaljova and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a complete synopsis of the millipede fauna of Asian Russia, the vast Palaearctic area extending from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific coast and adjacent islands in the east. The fauna, which has no fewer than 103 species, 39 genera, 17 families, and five orders, is reviewed and summarised. A historical account, a review of the morphology and ecology of the millipedes in the region, and zoogeographical notes are provided. Illustrated descriptions and diagnoses of, as well as keys to, all main millipede taxa recorded in the Asian part of Russia are included. In addition, all available data on the taxonomy and distribution of the regions Diplopoda are summarised. Dr E. V. Mikhaljova works at the Institute of Biology and Soil Science, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok, Russia. The book reflects her lifetime experience with the systematics, biology, ecology and distribution of Asian Diplopoda. Despite certain inavoidable lacunae, this work allows the millipede faunas of Siberia and the Russian Far East to be ranked among the best known in the world, let alone Asia.

Download or read book Soil Biology Guide written by Daniel L. Dindal and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1991-01-16 with total page 1381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive study of the biology, taxonomy, and ecology of each of the soil biotic groups. The first chapter presents an ecological approach to soil studies. The remaining 42 chapters provide specific information on each of the taxonomic groupings. Contains illustrated identification keys to each group. Some keys go by functional morphological delineations; others lead the reader to classical identification at family, genus, or species levels. Some incorporate descriptions of new genera and species. Especially useful for the study of mesic, xeric, and hydric terrestrial sites. Includes an extensive bibliography.
