Download or read book The symphytognathoid spiders of the Gaoligongshan Yunnan China Araneae Araneoidea Systematics and diversity of micro orbweavers written by Jeremy Miller and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2009-05-31 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a period of 10 years, scientists from a coalition of international institutions surveyed the biota of the Gaoligong mountains in western Yunnan, China. Focal taxa included selected plants, vertebrates, and arthropods. The study area lies at the heart of one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots and is home to biomes ranging from subtropical forest to tundra. In this special issue, we report on the results of that survey for micro-orbweaving spiders, cryptic animals mostly less than 1 mm long that build delicate, geometric webs. All told, over 1,000 adult micro-orbweavers were collected and sorted to three dozen species, all new to science. The enormous scale of the world’s biodiversity means that science needs data structures to facilitate organization, aggregation, and instant sharing of data. This publication contributes to major aggregators and indexers of electronic biodiversity data including ZooBank, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), Morphbank, and the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), supplementing the traditional paper mode. Typical of publications in taxonomy, this paper is composed of several components including the primary biodiversity data (specimen, locality, and related information), media (e.g., photographs and drawings), text elements (e.g., species descriptions), and nomenclature (e.g., new taxonomic names). Once these elements are parsed and absorbed by community databases, they can be disseminated, indexed, and recombined in myriad ways inconceivable for static paper publications. The barely imagined potential of these maturing digital resources makes the early 21st century a very exciting historical moment in taxonomy.

Download or read book The Manchester Museum written by Manchester Museum (University of Manchester) and published by Third Millennium Information. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manchester Museum is the first accessible guide to the collections and activities of the UK's largest university museum and one of the most significant museums in the country. There are approximately 4.5 million objects in the Museum and most are kept in storage, inaccessible to the public. The illustrated guide highlights the growth of each collection area and focuses on the detail of featured items. Initially consisting of the donations of the large collections of Victorian and Edwardian amateurs, they subsequently developed through a combination of continued donations and fieldwork research around the world by academics and curators.This publication traces the history of the Museum, from its beginnings as the collection of the Manchester Society for the Promotion of Natural History, through its transfer to John Owens College, to its current position as a major asset of the University of Manchester. The Manchester Museum frames the discussion of the collections with the Museum's award-winning work with schools and colleges, its wider work to engage its many communities and its use of digital communication to enhance the visitor's interaction with the collections.

Download or read book Cannibalism written by Mark A. Elgar and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the contextual and taxonomic diversity of cannibalism, this book explains its costs, benefits, and consequences for a taxonomically broad distribution of species from lower eukaryotes to higher primates. The authors, all experts in their taxon of interest, use theory developed for the analysis of foraging, sociality, demography, and genetics to assess the ecological and evolutionary causes and effects of cannibalism. The emerging picture from recent research challenges the view that cannibalism is either abnormal behaviour or an infrequent addition to the predator's usual diet.
